There are few things sweeter than watching a nearly six-foot tall teenager hold his baby nephew and talk to him about fishing while giving him his bottle. Even better (for me, that is!) is having a baby so passed out while sleeping on you that they are open mouth drooling and making cute baby noises while they breath. Yep, being a Yiayia (Greek for grandma) is pretty darned cool! There's more cuteness if you click on the link in my profile, and feel free to look around while you are there! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/12/07/hes-firmed-up-a-bit . . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #eatgoodfeelgood #family #familyaffair #familygathering #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen #grandkids #grandparents

"What do you mean you don't eat NO MEAT??! Oh, that's okay, I make lamb." You'll want to make this lamb stew, for sure, filled with all sorts of Greek goodness. Yes, you can use beef instead and it will be all good! Click on the link in my profile and look in the recipe section for this hearty stew that just makes me hungry thinking about it! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/01/13/greek-lamb-stew/ . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #eatingwell #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #eatgoodfeelgood #thenewhealthy #eatwellbewell #noleftovers #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen

Yes, I shamelessly bribe my family to do work for me with good food and drinks (thankfully, it works!). You could do the same to your family during the cold months with a nice hot cup of mulled apple cider when they're done. Works for me! (Seriously, they ask in advance if I have this ready!) The very easy recipe is up on my blog, so just click the link in my profile to get it, and feel free to take a look around while you are there! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/12/04/mulled-apple-cider . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #eatingwell #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #eatgoodfeelgood #thenewhealthy #eatwellbewell #noleftovers #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #familytraditions #winterfood #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen
