Eating Like Greek Gods

This post will be short on words and big on pictures. Because when it comes to food, a picture really is worth a thousand words, and wouldn't you rather drool over a photo than my boring descriptions?!



Grilled pork and french fries. Large portions, decent enough food, but a little pricey. 

Old Ithaki | Athens


Caesar salad, drenched in dressing. A little too much dressing for my taste. The picture does not do justice to the serving size; this could've easily been split between two people as an entree or between four as a side salad.

This was a #FoodFail meal, but I'm not sure whether to blame it on my finicky then-pregnant taste buds or the cook. The rice was crunchy and underdone, and the mushroom-chicken combo was just okay.

Hello, yummy seafood! Hubby enjoyed fried octopus with a rice pilaf on our first legit meal on the island of Thira (more commonly known as Santorini).

Are you sensing a pattern of what my appetite was like during the first trimester? Light and healthy was the ticket for me, and this salad fit the bill. I mean, it's kind of hard to mess up a salad...

Genuine Greek Gelato.

Pita and tzatziki sauce.

More octopus for the hubby. Pregnant people can't have a lot of seafood, so my Greek experience was sadly lacking.

Lamb and rice pilaf delicousness for me. Two thumbs up for this meal!

Souvlaki, tzatziki, and fries for hubby's last meal.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some Greek food!

Best of Bavaria


We are currently enjoying the best of Bayern in the thousand year old city of Dinkelsbühl, my husband's German home town! Be sure to follow on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter for daily photo updates while I am enjoying an otherwise "unplugged" vacation.
