What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?? Summer solstice has got me craving this pistachio ice cream because i could eat this all day and never get sick of it 😍🍦Enjoy the longest day of the year everyone! Eat some ice cream & cool off if you’re in some hot temperatures like we have in Utah right now☀️😅 . . . . #greekfood #myopenkitchen #saveur #mycommontable #storyofmytable #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #foodphotography #greekcooking #foodstyling #ontheblog #cookit #buzzfeast #tastingtable #yourstomake #eeeeeats #forkyeah #ontheblog #eatingfortheinsta #foodblogeats #fbcigers #dametravelerfoodie #tastingtable #summersolstice #icecream #aegina #sweettooth #desserttable #utahblogger What’s your favorite dessert? If you’ve been following @excusemeareyougreek, the account is running a competition alongside the World Cup to find out what people vote as the World Cup of desserts! 🍩🍪🍭 each round they post 4 desserts to choose from, and the 2 with the top votes move on to the next round. My guess is loukoumades will win (or galaktoboureko or rice pudding or... ahh so many to choose from). What dessert do you think will win It all?? Let me know below, and play along with @excusemeareyougreek when they post! 🇬🇷 Between traveling and hiking, I need a good backpack to move around with. ✈️🗻This one from @muzmm_backpacks does just the trick—it doubles as a backpack and a duffle bag! I’m obsessed. So much room to pack things, plus they have awesome designs. The one i have is the “little garden” design. 🍃🌺 Check them out, and if you want one be sure to use discount ELENI20 at checkout so you can get 20% off your order!

Try this grilled cilantro lime chicken 😋 The marinade is a zesty lime with cilantro, garlic, oil and honey. Optional add-ins are chili flakes for pop and a shot of tequila for fun—that tenderizes the chicken even more. A cabbage salad or sliced avocados on the side are just what’s needed for a lovely presentation. Give your dad a break from the grill, and he will still be impressed with this one! Enjoy!

Briam can be enjoyed year round but it’s best when the freshest vegetables come from farm to table, or from your garden. What kind of vegetables would you put in your dish? My favorites are potatoes, onions, peppers, and tomatoes! The fun thing about this dish is that It can be different every time. Try my go to recipe at elenisaltas.com 👍🏼 . . . . #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #foodphotography #greekcooking #foodstyling #ontheblog #cookit #buzzfeast #tastingtable #yourstomake #eeeeeats #forkyeah #ontheblog #eatingfortheinsta #foodblogeats #eatyourveggies #farmtotable #gardenveggies #vegetarianrecipes #growingupgreekstyle #greece Because it’s been awhile since I’ve shared a picture of my cute Yiayia 💙 today I spent the day making kourabiedes (Greek butter cookies) with her & the philoptochos ladies (an organization/ army of amazing women who selflessly spend months prepping & cooking for festivals & functions). During the summer months this is basically the only way I’m able to see my Yiayia, because she’s always pulling long hours at our church cooking pastries, and then at nights she’s off playing bingo. 🤣 gotta love grandparents. Have a good rest of your Tuesday everyone! Xo Pastourma rollups: easiest bite sized appetizer you’ll ever make! 🙌🏼 thinly sliced pastourma rolled with kaseri cheese and a sliced red bell pepper. Hardly requires a recipe but I’ll post a short write up & pictures for you anyway. Stay tuned 🤗 . . . . #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #foodphotography #foodstyling #ontheblog #cookit #buzzfeast #tastingtable #yourstomake #eeeeeats #forkyeah #ontheblog #eatingfortheinsta #foodblogeats #fbcigers #tastingtable #thekitchn #f52grams #feedfeed #eattheworld #fingerfood #charcuterieboard #cheeselover #growingupgreekstyle “What’s for dinner” is the most common question in my house. 🏠 The answer to that question more often than not is Greek chicken and potatoes (kota me patates). It’s a great fall back meal of ours and should be yours too. For starters, it’s a one-pot dish with easy prep work and cooking time is not unbearable. Second, it’s a filling meal that goes a long way, so you only need to add a Greek salad or any other favorite side dish of yours to go along with it. And finally (which should be reason enough to make this dish) is the satisfaction of seeing the faces of loved ones when you serve those perfect golden potatoes and crispy seasoned chicken. 🍗🥔 Grab the recipe at EleniSaltas.com 😋enjoy!! . . . . #greekfood #myopenkitchen #saveur #mycommontable #storyofmytable #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #foodphotography #greekcooking #foodstyling #ontheblog #cookit #buzzfeast #tastingtable #yourstomake #eeeeeats #forkyeah #ontheblog @thefeedfeed #eatingfortheinsta #foodblogeats #fbcigers #tastingtable #dinnertonight #chickenandpotatoes #chickendinner #growingupgreekstyle #easydinner So happy watermelons are coming into season so I can cool off with a watermelon salad (made with feta, mint & a balsamic reduction) on a hot summer day (like today)! 😅 🍉 have a great weekend everyone, I hope it’s a good one! ✌🏼 . . . . #greekfood #myopenkitchen #saveur #mycommontable #storyofmytable #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #foodphotography #greekcooking #foodstyling #ontheblog #cookit #buzzfeast #tastingtable #yourstomake #eeeeeats #forkyeah #ontheblog #eatingfortheinsta #foodblogeats #fbcigers #dametravelerfoodie #tastingtable #watermelonsalad #watermelon #summercooking #summersalad It’s salad season! 😍 planted our garden & cant wait for the fresh veggies to grow (especially tomatoes and cucumbers to make a nightly Greek Salad!) what’s your go to salad?

Anyone ever been?? Although pictures inside are not allowed, i can tell you the inside of this church is truly wonderful. Every inch from the ceiling to the floors are covered with exceptional iconography. Natural light beams through the stained glass windows. A small room next to the alter contains the tomb and body of Saint Dionysios. Read more about the Saint + the church in the latest blog, link is up in my bio. I hope you like it! 💙
