Greek Style Sausage and Chick Peas
Greek Style Sausage and Chick Peas made with Italian sausage, chickpeas, Kalamata olives, garlic, and lemon.

My Big Fat Greek Sweet Potato
My Big Fat Greek Sweet Potato made with twice baked sweet potatoes stuffed with Feta cheese, Greek yogurt and oregano makes a tasty side dish all year long. I have a confession to make. I didn't make up the name for this "My Big Fat Greek" Sweet Potato recipe. Alexandra Ricardi did when I posted the picture on Facebook last week asking for suggestions. I don't know Alexandra other than the fact that she is a loyal reader and also follows my Facebook page. I guess it's true what ... Read More about My Big Fat Greek Sweet Potato
