Greek Party Themes

Above- Baklava

Healthy, tangy bright flavors.  I just love Greek, or Greek-ish, food.  
Some of you may say (and you're probably one of my sisters...) 
"Hey, that's not Greek!" 
But, maybe, just maybe it's almost Greek-like.  

Greek food is one of my all time favorites, but I often hear people say they really don't know too much about it. So, I started thinking of all the Greek recipes on my blog, and how I might organize them into some menus or party ideas.


The weather has been so nice lately, it's the perfect summer time to have a party to celebrate Greek flavors, but heck, any time of the year is fine for me with Greek food.
