Happy Easter to those of you celebrating today! For us in the Eastern Orthodox world, today is our Palm Sunday. This image came from the opening montage of a "The Simpson's" episode that aired years ago. The two holidays don't always align like this but this picture is perfect for when it does! For now I will wish you all Καλή Ανάσταση (Good Resurrection) and I will save Χριστός Ανέστη (Christ is Risen) for next Sunday! 😄 . . . . #mostlygreek #greek #greeks #easter #greekeaster #orthodoxy #greekorthodox #itsnoteaster #palmsunday #easternorthodox #family #greekfamily

Give a boy a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a boy to fish and you'll have fish guts in your sink and trip on all their fishing rods in the garage. . . . . #mostlygreek #fishing #fish #greeks #greek #family #yummyfish #eatrealfood

It isn't Easter in a Greek home if there aren't koulourakia being served. These buttery cookies have a lightly sweet and citrusy taste, are perfect for dunking into coffee but are tender enough to not need it. Best yet, you can make them any time of the year you want! Come on over for the recipe by clicking on the link in my profile, and be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/04/19/koulourakia-greek-easter-cookies . . . @chsugar @kingarthurflour @mccormickspice . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #bakersofinstagram #cookiesofinstagram #cookies #easter #greek

I helped roll a lot of dolmades today. But it's okay, I had an awfully cute helper! . . . . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #family #greeks #baby #babycheeks

I seriously had this ready to eat from start to finish in roughly 30 minutes. Tender pieces of shrimp, scallops, calamari and whatever other types of seafood you want will be swimming in a buttery seasoned sauce with a rich undertone of a beer braise. Oh yeah, it's that good!

Because having consistent temperatures from one day to the next is clearly overrated. . . . . #californialife #californialiving #california #californiaproblems #ilovecalifornia #centralcalifornia #centralvalley

As much as I really like to make things the old fashioned way, time and materials can be an issue. So I compromise! This recipe for traditional mizithra cheese gets a slight tweak so you can have your treat with a lot less wait! The recipe is a click away, and please feel free to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/04/16/quick-easy-mizithra-greek-ricotta . . . . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #cheese #homemadecheese
