Sunday Slow Cooker: Greek Stuffed Peppers
Looking for a low-key Sunday night meal? Look no further than tender, slow-cooked red bell peppers, stuffed with a Greek-inspired filling of fiber-rich cannellini beans, crumbled feta cheese, scallions, and herbed couscous.
Like many Mediterranean specialties, this meal is satisfyingly hearty, yet light and nutritious at the same time.
Monday's Leftovers: Chicken Breast With Avgolemono Sauce
One of my favorite soups of all time is avgolemono, a traditional Greek soup made of lemon, chicken, and eggs. I love it so much that even when I'm not in the mood for steaming-hot soup, I'll still search for something else (like a pasta) that incorporates the same creamy, tangy flavors.
This chicken, plated with orzo, carrots, and avgolemono sauce, is exactly the type of recipe I'd turn to.
Greek Salad Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
A Greek salad is a dish every home cook should master: In Summer the hearty dish is a meal of its own! While a Greek salad traditionally has certain key ingredients, such as tomato, feta cheese, olives, and onions, the term can be used liberally, and you can experiment by adding Mediterranean elements like cucumbers, spinach, shrimp, lamb, etc.
To get you started, I've found two recipes.
Killer App: Greek Salsa
Lately I've been all about dips. OK that's somewhat of an understatement, since it seems I'm always all about dips. Seven-layer dip, nacho cheese dip, artichoke crab dip, Buffalo chicken cheese dip — you get the idea.

Would You Be Interested In a Peter Andre Cookbook?
Peter Andre has reportedly signed a £1.5million cookbook deal for recipes designed for families. It will apparently be a single man’s guide to feeding the family and could include barbecue food, pastas, soups, Greek recipes and oriental recipes. Katie Price is doing well in the book charts with her latest novel Sapphire, so it wouldn't surprise me if Pete was keen to find success in that arena too.

Over the past few months, I've been testing recipes from Tyler Florence's recent cookbook: Dinner At My Place $13.57.
Although Florence has penned several other cookbooks, this one has a particularly intimate feeling because it includes his family's favorite recipes along with great menus for dinner parties.

Loukoumades, The Great Greek Doughnut
When I was in college, there was a Greek food festival every year. My housemate and I would jump on our bikes and head down there in order to load up on tasty treats. There were a lot of great things to try, but my favorite was definitely an order of freshly fried loukoumades (imagine plump balls of deep fried dough, coated in sugar syrup or honey!).
