#ad 👉A few weeks ago we received the cutest, loveliest cookie cutters from @my_greekhome , and we couldn't wait to try them! We knew that we needed a cookie that would hold its shape while baking so that the Greek 🇬🇷 lettering would survive baking. We also knew that we wanted to create a cookie that was suitable for lent, because frankly, we're craving cookies. Sweetened with maple syrup, these vegan shortbread cookies are simply perfect and are made even more wonderful with the special cookie cutters. Head on over to the blog for the complete recipe, some helpful hints, and link to the website where you can purchase these lovely cookie cutters. xoxo Helen & Billie 😘

Our parents never presented this recipe for stuffed calamari as an elegant meal - but we sure think that it is. For our parents this was just a perfect meal for lent. So, during periods of fasting this recipe was often on rotation, particularly on the weekends when our folks had a little more time in the kitchen. They would serve the stuffed calamari with a side of several salads and maybe some broccoli with lemon and olive oil and we would be so happy! It remains a meal that we all look forward to, and we're so happy to be able to share our parents' recipe with you. It is simple, delicious, and yes, elegant! Head on over to the blog for many helpful hints and the complete recipe. Happy Thursday guys...the weekend is almost here! 😘. .

Did you know that in certain regions of Greece 🇬🇷 , like Messinia which is where our family is from, mung bean soup is a popular recipe! This always seems to surprise people as mung beans tend to be associated with other ethnic cuisines more than with Greek cooking.

Do you think baking belongs to the weekend? If you're planning on a 3-tiered, fondant-covered, nougat filled masterpiece - then yes, it does. But if you are looking for simple cake deliciousness, then baking can be done any day of the week. Want proof? 👉Head to the blog to check out our recipe for this chocolate and orange 🍊cake topped with an orange 🍊glaze. It's not only easy, but it's also vegan and therefore also perfect for lent. ☺️So go ahead and pull out your mixing bowls and measuring cups - you deserve something sweet!

We know that eggplant 🍆 can be a divisive fruit (Yes, it's botanically a fruit), with camps of people who love eggplant ❤️ (like us) and others who think that it's just awful.

Next time you're at a cocktail party, or waiting in line for a movie, and someone asks you to name a traditional Greek recipe (listen...we think that this should be a standard ice-breaker question), you should answer Htapodi me macaronakia or Octopus with pasta! If you're speaking to a non-Greek, chances are their reaction will be "Huh?". Despite the fact that octopus and pasta is not as glamourous or as popular as moussaka or grilled lamb chops, we think that this is a recipe full of Greek goodness, or greatness! A traditional meal during lent, this is an easy recipe that we hope you will love. Head on over to the blog for the complete recipe, lots of helpful hints, and more! Have a beautiful weekend guys! 😘 .

All hail the halva! We love this classic Greek semolina dessert which is vegan, super easy, and perfect for lent. Halva also provides a world of possibilities. Once you get the general swing of it, the semolina is your canvas.

Have you had gigantes plaki? We love to introduce people to this spectacular (yes! spectacular!) vegan recipe for the first time, and to then listen to the questions and guesses regarding the beans used in the recipe.
