I'm all about cooking meals ahead and storing them in the freezer because I am super busy with work and can't be bothered to cook a fresh meal every day. I like to buy cheap Tupperware in bulk to store all of my meals to make it more cost efficient. I usually only keep meals in the freezer up to one month, otherwise they start to develop freezer burn. Some of the best Greek meals to cook ahead of time are moussaka, pastitsio, fava, lentils, kokkinisto, keftedes, and soutzoukakia!

I agree! The Greek food we always freeze is dolmades:
I've never thought of that! I usually eat the canned ones (I know its not the best flavour but its super easy!)

I will assemble spanakopita and tiro pita and instead of cooking, I cover the top with waxed paper or parchment paper, and then wrap it in plastic wrap. When I went fresh pita, I take it out and bake it - it takes a bit longer than normal to cook, but you can take it out of the freezer, unwrap it, and pop it in the oven directly. So I have the fresh taste of pita without the immediate need to assemble it when I want it. So, I make a few at a time.

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
