Today's recipe is all about the flavors of Greek cuisine. Spanakopizza is a healthy twist on the traditional GreekSpanokopita. Spanakopita is a delicious pie that is made with phyllo dough, spinach, and a lot of feta cheese, but it tends to be very heavy. This meal is a healthier version of the traditional spinach pie. This "Greek Pizza" is topped with grilled chicken breast, garlic, onions, feta and mozzarella cheese. The entire pizza is topped with a traditional Greek salad. Romaine hearts, spicy arugula, kalamata olives, hot pepper rings, cucumbers, and more feta cheese are combined to top of this deliciously healthy pizza. It is a meal that can be eaten for lunch, dinner, or a later night snack. It is not too heavy and will have you energized and satisfied for the rest of the day. Take a taste of Greece and all of delicious and fresh ingredients it has to offer. Enjoy!!!

Recipe of the day
Today's episode of "30 minute Meals" is all about the tastes of Havana. This is a Cuban twist on American favorites. Mojito Mashed Sweet Potatoes, is definitely an inventive version of classic mashed potatoes. It is a way to "eat your drink." Everyone has heard of the popular drink mojito, well this version of mashed potatoes has all the flavors of the classic drink. Sweet potatoes are mashed up with rum, mint, and brown sugar. It is almost a dessert but it is a wonderful side dish for Cuban Sloppy Joe's. This sandwich is a take on the classic Cuban meal (RopaViejos.) ground meat is mixed up with green olives, tomato sauce, coriander, chili peppers, and cumin. It sounds weird but It promises to be delicious. When you think about it how bad can spiked mashed potatoes be? All of the ingredients needed for this meal may seem a little foreign to you, but they can all be found in the regular grocery store. It is the weekend, instead of going out and spending a lot of money on a meal like this invite some friends over and try to make it at home. it is easy and exotic. Enjoy!
