Moussaka is both an ultimate comfort food and a labor of love to make. This recipe for modern Greek moussaka reduces the preparation steps and is a healthier version of traditional moussaka.

KALE AND LENTIL CHOPPED GREEK SALAD

WITH NO COMMENTS

This modern version of a Greek salad was inspired by a salad I ate at Asteras Beach Club on the coast of Glyfada, which is known as the Athens Riviera. It is fresh uber healthy and a perfect example of the Mediterranean diet. I find it quite filling as is, but you can add some grilled chicken or salmon if you desire more protein.

LEMON CHICKEN SOUP WITH ORZO, KALE AND MUSHROOMS

WITH NO COMMENTS

I think of this Lemon Chicken Soup as flu soup or cold soup, because it is just what I want to eat when I have a cold or the flu. This soup is hydrating, easy to digest, full of nourishing chicken and vegetables and is brightened with lemon juice for extra vitamin C.

KALE SOUP WITH CHORIZO, POTATOES AND WHITE BEANS

WITH 2 COMMENTS

For this kale soup I use lacinato or dinosaur kale, fresh Mexican chorizo, red mini potatoes and cannellini white beans. It has similar ingredients to Portuguese kale soup or Caldo Verde, but instead of using chourico sausage, I use Mexican-style chorizo, which is crumblier and spicier.

CURRIED PEAR AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

This soup is a wonderful cool weather treat with the comforting flavor of butternut squash, sweetened with pears and amped up with curry and ginger. Don't forget the sugared and peppered pepitas and goat cheese for garnish.

MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY

WITH NO COMMENTS

Make ahead-gravy takes a little time, but most of that time is inactive. You can make it in one day, but I prefer to make gravy a two-day process. You make the stock the first day, refrigerate it, make the gravy the second day and then pack it up in the freezer until Thanksgiving day. You can make your gravy a day before Thanksgiving or a month before. Either way making your gravy ahead of time will make serving Thanksgiving dinner so much easier and more enjoyable.
