Greeks like bread. No… we LOVE bread. There is literally a bread made specifically for every main holiday, and this doesn’t even cover the bread used daily and in religious ceremonies!
Savory Pumpkin & Cheddar Muffins
The moment the temperatures drop even just a smidgen near the end of summer, it’s pumpkin season. Correction, it’s pumpkin-SPICE season. Maybe it doesn’t have to be?
Old Fashioned Apple Pie
Unlike pumpkin pie, which is usually relegated exclusively to the Thanksgiving meal, apple pie gets to sashay its way all throughout autumn and winter. Good, because I like to eat it and it’s easy to prepare!
Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is the very first recipe where I not only created it, I also *get this* … actually wrote it down. Like, with real measurements and everything.
Classic Cherry Pie
I planted a very specific variety of cherry tree just so I could make two things: a Greek cherry brandy, and honest-to-goodness old fashioned cherry pie. I guess I’m a serious do-it-yourselfer.
Apple-Spice Minced Pie

I never realized how much my mom likes… no, loves this pie until a few years ago when I didn’t make it for one of our holiday dinners. I haven’t heard the end of it since.
Paximathia (Greek Biscotti)
Every Greek woman I know has their own version of this Greek staple, so why should I be any different?? And every one of us thinks our own is the best, and of course we’re all correct. Of course.
