Here are some simple recipes for appetizers and main dishes that you can make at home with your family.
- Appetizer – Apricot Brie Bruchetta
A simple holiday appetizer for family and friends made with toasted baguette topped with apricot jam, brie, and nuts.
How to Do It!
- Slice the baguette crosswise into equal pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown; when you smell it, it’s done!

- Main Dish – Greek Chicken with Roasted Potatoes in a Sheet Pan
An easy sheet pan recipe that tastes just like a dish from catering in Fort Lauderdale! All you need are equal-sized chicken breasts, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, onion powder, olive oil, thin lemon slices, dried thyme, chopped tomato, crumbled feta cheese, and halved lengthwise potatoes.
How to Do It!
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack 8 inches from the heat. While you wait, in a food processor, combine the salt, onion powder, pepper, cinnamon, thyme, nutmeg, parsley, and oregano, then gradually add the oil.
- Place the chicken and lemons on a baking sheet with a rim. Rub the chicken evenly with the spice mixture you made earlier. Arrange the lemon slices and potatoes around the chicken. Roast in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, then check to see if the chicken and potatoes are tender.
- When they are tender, raise the oven temperature to broil. For 5 minutes, broil the chicken skin and potato until crisp and browned. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with tomato, feta cheese crumbles, parsley, and olive oil, and you are done!
