When was the last time you had a plate of cooked greens for dinner? Not with dinner...but for dinner?! If you're Greek, you may have answered, yesterday. Greeks love their horta, a catch all term which includes everything from collard greens, dandelion greens and these amaranth greens we call vlita. Vlita grow in our parents' garden and we are so happy that they do. Tender, delicate, delicious and an amazing source of nutrition, head on over to our blog to learn how to harvest and prepare this humble, and exceptional, veggie. Have a great start to the week guys. We are actually both on vacation from our real jobs this week and so are looking forward to relaxing, cooking, relaxing, eating and ....relaxing 🙂. ...Find the recipe <vlita > on miakouppa.com and on profile #vlita #amaranth #howisummer . . #miakouppa #greekfood #greekcooking #greekrecipes #greek #fbcigers #chatelainemag #huffpostliving #huffposttaste #thekitchn #bhgfood #rslove #hocsupperclub #lifeandthyme #kitchn #cuisinesworld #yahoofood #heresmyfood #foodforfoodies #inseasonnow #eatgood #mypinterest #makeitdelicious #bbcgoodfood #f52farmstand #cookcl

Growing up, we never had green bean casseroles topped with crunchy fried onions, or steamed green beans served as a side to turkey loaf. No, when we had green beans, we had them this way...cooked in tomato sauce and olive oil with some potatoes mixed in. This style of slow stewing veggies results in a class of dishes called lathera...and they are simply and utterly divine. Head on over to the blog for the recipe to this traditional Greek dish. Then, find some fresh beans and make this meal. Trust us! You'll be happy you did 😄😄.

Isn’t summer grand?? One of our favourite parts of summer, is of course, all the fresh, seasonal produce. One of which is corn. Grilled corn, 🌽fresh cucumber, 🥒green onions, feta, fresh herbs, make this a salad that is bursting with summer freshness. 🥗🌽 . . We hope you’re enjoying your week so far. It has been a bit dreary, weather wise over here. Here’s hoping we see the sun again soon.

Looking for a great date? We've got you covered! These Mejool dates are stuffed with citrus and mint flavoured feta and then the whole date package is wrapped in bacon. Pop these babies in the oven and when you pop them in your mouth you will be met with sweet, salty, savoury and awesomeness! Greeks love their mezes, and although these may not be as typical as spanakopita, keftedes, or tzatziki...they certainly belong on the table with all of these. Head on over to the blog for this recipe, and a slew of other great Greek appetizers. . . .

Two sisters, two personalities, two ways of doing things, even the making of the Greek salad (or Horiatiki salata). One of us likes order, and precision (Helen 😁); the other one works best under pressure, and organized chaos (Billie😘). Hence, the two styles of salads: both delicious, both nutritious and quite similar; however you may notice that one is tidy, structured, classic, and very well organized…. And the other is creatively scattered, somewhat carefree, and, well, frankly, a little bit messy…. 😝. This is a salad we anticipate and savour every summer. When the tomatoes are picked out of our gardens, the taste is out of this world! . . .

Oh look!! Spanakopita with homemade phyllo may be one of the best foods in the world...and is the reason why most Greek parents don't worry about their kids not eating their greens. Spanakopita (especially with some feta inside) is Greek finger food...toddler approved! We are super excited to share this recipe, and to explain how to roll out your own phyllo! Don't be intimidated; with the right recipe and some helpful hints, it's easier than you might think...and so worth the effort. Watch our IGTV for some phyllo action by the master ! 😍Also, head on over to our blog to learn more! xoxo . . .

Let us introduce you to...the Cobbopoulos, our Greek-inspired Cobb salad with grilled chicken marinated in the olive oil, lemon juice and oregano mixture called ladolemono that coats almost all grilled meats and poultry in a Greek kitchen. Add to that Kalamata olives, feta and other fresh goodies, and you've got a salad that hits all the great Greek notes. Also...this salad and the way that it is usually presented satisfies the need that one of us has for organization and everything having a place, while the other one of us loves it when the salad gets tossed to coat every little bit with the delicious dressing. Organized chaos in a bowl. Which presentation do you prefer? For the full recipe and a little Cobb salad history, head on over to our blog! . . .
