Greek Lemony Chicken Soup with Rice (Avgolemono)

This is our go-to dish when we want to use up leftover rice or chicken from the frig, or we have purchased a super tasty rotisserie chicken. We can prepare this amazingly elegant and umami packed soup in about 20 minutes, so it’s perfect for a weekday family soup. Classic Greek dishes, like Italian cuisine, are fairly simple as a recipe, but every great dish in both cultures depend entirely on the highest quality of ingredients. Avgolemono soup, (Avgolemono means “egg-lemon”), is a perfect example.

Salmon with Tangy Lemon Dill Sauce

This dish is one of our absolute favorite ways to prepare salmon, with a creamy tangy sauce that highlights the rich flavors of salmon along with the light but intense flavors of sour cream, lemon and dill.  Quick and easy but crazy good, it’s on the table in about twenty five minutes.  And sometimes we switch it up and get even more intense with a Greek inspired sauce of added feta cheese to compliment the dill.  And if you want to really go wild, add some wild mushrooms and a bit of horseradish. Enjoy!
