Two ingredients, and more joy than you could ever imagine! We love crispy, cheesy things and our homemade cheese crisps make with kefalotyri cheese are just perfect! Kefalotyri is a hard Greek cheese made of sheep and/or goat milk. It is sharp, tangy and full of flavour. It grates easily which makes preparing these cheese crisps a breeze. We love to top them with some freshly cracked black pepper before baking and in 15 minutes or so you have happiness like you have never known before! Seriously! Serve our kefalotyri cheese crisps with salsa, guacamole, melitzanosalata (the Greek eggplant dip) or use it in place of croutons in salad and on top of soups.

A few years ago we were in the lovely, and delicious, city of Cincinnati. As we ate our way through the Queen City, one of our stops was a Skyline Chili, which served the famous Cincinnati Chili - of course we had to try it! Imagine our surprise when we were served was appeared to be makaronia me kima, with some grated cheddar cheese on top. One taste and we were convinced, this was very similar (aka identical) to the Greek spaghetti and meat sauce we grew up with. No surprise really given that the founder of the restaurant was Greek.

One of us has a bread machine in the garage - a gift given many years ago, long before Mia Kouppa. It's a lovely machine and makes some pretty delicious bread. But it's bulky, requires bread machine recipes, and needs to be lugged into the kitchen to be used. We should probably pass it on to someone who will use it lots. Poor bread machine - it's hard to feel the need to use it when we have simple and delicious bread recipes like our part whole wheat flour and honey bread at our disposal.

Running a blog with two certainly has its perks - double the ideas, double the fun, double the productivity....sort of. A downside is definitely coordinating our already busy schedules (when we cook with our parents the juggling becomes even more complicated!). That's why sometimes, Mia Kouppa meetings happen when at least one of us is also doing something else - like finishing up supper. Thank goodness for technology!

We hope you’ve had a lovely Sunday and a beautiful Father’s Day. We did, and we made it as sweet as could be with our double chocolate zucchini cake! Moist, easy, so delicious…and full of vegetables! Hope the week ahead is a great one guys!! Xoxo Helen and Billie

If you've been with us for a while then you have probably already seen our parents' garden pictured in our stories and posts. They are so proud of the vegetables, fruit and flowers that they grow and all the work that it takes for them to maintain the garden keeps them occupied (too occupied we sometimes think) and joyful.

Will you be grilling for dad this weekend? Or are you a dad whose going to be doing the grilling? Either way, the perfect way to celebrate the amazing fathers and father figures we know and love is with grilled lamb chops. Such a special meal! And we'll teach you how to make the most flavourful, yet simplest lamb chops. This recipe is worthy of anyone you want to celebrate! xoxo Helen & Billie

Rustic. Traditional. Simple. Easy. Classic. These can all be used to describe spetzofai. This is a recipe which includes the most basic ingredients in a Greek kitchen: loukaniko (Greek sausage), olive oil, bell peppers, onion, tomato and aromatics.
