GRILLED FLANK STEAK TACOS
I think we can all agree that we all love tacos. What is there not to like? A well seasoned and grilled piece of meat or veggie, topped with salsa, guacamole, hot sauce, and then wrapped in a toasted, tasty “blanket;” makes the mouth very happy. For this recipe we were given some extra flank…

GREEK BURGER
Grilling time is always a good time, especially when there are burgers on the grill. This recipe combines my Hellenic roots with a traditional American staple, the hamburger.

FISH AND CHIPS
Next to wings, one of my favorite pub foods is fish and chips. Something about meaty, fried fish, dipped in briny tartar sauce hits all my taste buds in the best way possible.

CURRYWURST
Whenever I go to a German Biergarten, I always opt for the currywurst. It combines the best of two of my favorites, sausage and curry. With the current pandemic, I have not been to any Biergartens or bars and have been missing bar foods tremendously. So, I opted for the next best thing, and that…

TORTELLINI CHICKEN SOUP
On rainy, chilly days there is nothing more warming and cozy that a nice soup. The added benefit of this soup is that it uses cheesy tortellini to accompany the homemade chicken broth.
