Greek Salad with Spiralized Cucumbers
Since this is my second spiralizer recipe in a week, I must admit I’m a bit addicted. I go through phases where I don’t use it for a month, then use it every day for a week. There’s no in-between! This time, I decided to re-vamp one of my all time favorite salads, the delicious Greek Salad….

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
I have a deep love for Greek food, and this is probably my all time favorite recipe. I am so excited to share it! I make it year round, even when it’s too hot outside to be typical soup weather. The rich lemon flavor makes it just as refreshing on a hot day as it…
