Greek-Style Beef Stew (Stifado)

January 19, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Before our last predicted snow day, I hit the grocery store so I could hunker down and cook some wintry food. I bought meat and vegetables and things that would make a nice beef stew. When it came down to it, I kept think I wanted to do something a little different from standard stew (not that there is anything wrong with that). Boeuf Bourguignon? Maybe. I do love classic … [Read more...] about Greek-Style Beef Stew (Stifado)

Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

June 19, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love a hearty cold pasta salad in the summer. This version is inspired by the classic Greek flavors of shrimp, feta and tomatoes, which is a favorite combination for me.

The Greek flavors of a shrimp, tomato and feta are a favorite of mine, and always remind me of summer, and a trip to Greece and the island of Mykonos one summer many years ago. Our favorite dish was Shrimp Saganaki, a rich tomato sauce with shrimp nestled in, covered in a blanket of fresh feta cheese. None of my travelling companions or I knew much about Greek food at the time, … [Read more...] about Greek Inspired Shrimp and Feta Spaghetti

Greek Shrimp and Orzo Bake with Lemon and Dill

  A good casserole is pure comfort food. And there are, I know, a million versions of casseroles out there, so coming up with new and unique versions is a welcome challenge for a recipe developer. So here’s my process for creating a recipe like this. I wanted to do something different – still a rich, creamy casserole, but with a twist. First I thought rice or noodles? … [Read more...] about Greek Shrimp and Orzo Bake with Lemon and Dill

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
