It’s been some time since we’ve last prepared a hearty phyllo pastry savory pie, so let’s fix that. We used a lot of mushrooms paired with leeks for this one. We put in boiled eggs and some cheese and wrapped everything with phyllo sheets. So, creamy and crunchy, everyone! Don’t overeat, though!

You’ve come to the right place for a fruity and cheesy, salty and sweet warm salad. We’ve chosen Santa Maria pears, but this is not cast in stone. You can choose Anjou, or Bosc pears, or what have you. It doesn’t really matter as long as they are pears. Bake them with onion, grill some Halloumi and serve them together on a bed of valerian, also known as corn salad or lamb’s lettuce.

You’ll need a smoked mackerel ready for this one because we’ll concentrate on the side-dish and sauce. It’s a no-brainer warm and fruity ‘salad’ made with grilled beetroot slices and apricots wherein we add some quartered figs. We serve the fish and side-dish drizzled with a lemony pomegranate sauce.

Inspired to us directly by the French cuisine, the ‘galettes’ can be pancakes (or crepes), pies, or cakes. Savory or sweet. Ours is a sweet pie version, filled with apples and onion pan-cooked in cider, and with Swiss cheese. We flavored it with thyme, cayenne, and rosemary. Enjoy!

This stuffed tomato dish is healthy and vegetarian, it’s not so high in carbohydrates or fat, it is pretty low on protein and calories. Of course, you can always choose to use it as a side dish. You’ll need the pulp from 1 tomato only for the filling mixture. Eat the remaining pulp raw, as we did.

These hot and garlicky roasted eggplants can be served as a vegetarian stand-alone course, but they can also make for a delicious side-dish. If you don’t have anything against dairy products, you can serve them garnished with yogurt and sprinkle them with chopped parsley.

Let’s get a sweet and sour blueberry cake on the table, this time. A refreshing ultra-creamy dessert made with yogurt, cream cheese, and whipped cream. Of course, you can use fresh blueberries, but we were out of them and so we grabbed some frozen ones. Serve the cake garnished with even more blueberries, raw or thawed, and with mint leaves.

Savory waffles are gaining ground in popularity even as we speak, so why not try some? In this case, we used canned chickpeas as the main ingredient and we generously flavored the mixture with coriander, parsley, and garlic. Serve them topped with whatever pleases you or eat them as such. Brunch, lunch, or dinner.
Try this trail mix-like yummy and energizing breakfast or even dessert. Unlike a typical trail mix, ours is nut-free and it has diced bread soaked in milk and whisked egg, chocolate chips, and raisins. We sweetened it with maple syrup and flavored it with cinnamon. It’s a super-duper 5-minute job of whisking, stirring, and microwaving. See for yourself.
