An Eastern European delicacy. Probably one of the most loved foods from the Balkans. There are two ways to create burek: with homemade dough or with phyllo dough (pre-made store-bought). In this recipe we will be using the pre-made phyllo dough. You can put potatoes, meat, spinach, boiled cabbage, or feta cheese inside! This one will be with feta cheese. Truly a tasty meal! And very easy to make! Eat with yogurt for authenticity.

Salmon Burgers with Lemon Basil Mayo
A lemony mayo sauce for salmon burgers takes these to the next level. I am not a big fish eater, but my family is, so I had to find a way to serve fish we all liked. These salmon burgers were the perfect solution for us! Serve on hamburger buns with your preferred garnish (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.).
Broccoli Cheese Bake
This broccoli bake is my tasty breadcrumb-free twist on au gratin! Easily customizable, make it with skim milk, fat-free cheese, or with or without eggs.
Umami Mushroom Broth
This savory mushroom broth is rich and full of umami flavor! I love to use earthy mushrooms such as cèpes, shiitakes, or brown caps. Use this rich stock to transform risottos, soups, or sauces into vegetarian favorites.
