I love to make bougatsa. It’s similar to baklava because they’re both made with phyllo, but this one has custard inside and powdered sugar on top. I believe its from the northern part of Greece, at least that’s what my husband says. I attached a picture of the bougatsa I ate in Thessaloniki.

That bougatsa looks amazing!! Almost like the one i like to make at home. (https://www.greekboston.com/food/bougatsa-recipe/) This is the recipe that I use
Thanks! I got it from a place called Albeta bakery, it's one of the most famous

My favorite are kourabiedes. They melt in your mouth! These are a lot like a traditional shortbread but the Greek version has a more intense "melt in your mouth" quality to it.

We cooked too much Easter lamb than we needed and have a ton leftover. I am sure I am not the only one! I am brainstorming ways to use the leftovers. Do you guys have anything to add?
1. Gyros with lamb (Tzatziki and all the trimmings!)
2. Lamb sandwiches
3. Stir fries
4. Lamb in rice and tomato sauce
5. Wraps
6. Omelets and scrambles (think steak and eggs, but with Greek flavors and of course lamb instead of steak)
