A Little Greek, a Little German

In our house the meals are varied. Some nights we eat at one restaurant and other nights we eat at a different restaurant. And then sometimes, I cook. Tonight we had a little bit of Greek and a little bit of German cooked at home.


This side dish of spinach & feta is very easy and I invite you to try it. I cooked frozen chopped spinach in the microwave and drained it well. I moistened it then with olive oil and lemon juice, seasoned it with salt and topped it off with crumbled feta cheese. This is one delicious healthy green vegetable!

These potatoes are called Grandpa's Potatoes and they are named after my father. He would grill these potatoes in foil pouches when he had his children and grandchildren over for a cookout. You can put them in foil packets and put them on the grill or in the oven. Tonight I fried them on top of the stove. I diced potatoes, chopped onions, added salt, pepper and garlic powder and then added the magic ingredient (pictured below) and cooked it all in olive oil. Oh my was this good!






My husband's father warned him that if he married a German, all he would be eating was meat and potatoes. Well, he did get the meat (we grilled western ribs) and potatoes tonight but that was NOT all. He also got Greek style spinach. Maybe we should open Zorba's Schnitzel House or Hulda's Grecian Delight. Whaddya think?
