Want to add an extra 62 grams of protein to your favorite Tomato Soup?

We all know and love the nostalgic feeling of the famous comfort food, Tomato Soup… but what if I told you I cracked the code to making it the most satiating meal? Of course, it’s salted to perfection with 🧂 @diamondcrystalsalt and doesn’t leave you hungry 2 hours later 🍅✨🥫

🍋👩🏻‍🍳🔪 Drop ‘recipe’ below and I’ll DM you the full details—or tap the link in my bio to grab it from the site. And don’t forget to save this post for later!

How? Well, let me tell you! But first, let me declare my love for all things soup and tomato, so when I tell you what I am about to tell you, I need you to trust me. LIKE REALLY TRUST ME. The secret is adding cooked chicken breast to the blender with your roasted soup ingredients. It makes the sweet luscious creamy, with extreme amounts of added depth or flavor, and actually keeps you full till your next meal. So move over grilled cheese, Creamy Chicken Tomato Soup is the new boss in town.

I always reach for @diamondcrystalsalt because honestly? It’s the GOAT. 🧂 #diamondcrystalsaltpartner

Today in @foodbymaria we’re making Crispy Chicken Edible Pita Bowls - using my authentic cooking method that hit the internet by storm - WE broke the internet ya’ll!

🍋👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for the bowl/chicken or link for the Viral Vertical Pan Skewer! — it will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳🍋

The internet went wild for my juicy chicken, so I thought, “Why not go even bigger?” Move over, @CAVA—it’s time to make the ultimate edible Greek chicken pita bowl.

Here’s the deal: I marinate my chicken in all the good stuff—garlic, @diamondcrystalsalt, pepper, rigani, full-fat Greek yogurt (because why skimp?), and a generous pour of my family’s liquid gold: olive oil. Once it’s all had a chance to mingle, I stack the chicken high on a vertical skewer.

Don’t forget to toss a cut onion on top of the stack to keep that chicken juicy and prevent burning! Now, for the edible pita bowl, I just bake it in a cake tin—yep, a cake tin. No fancy tools necessary, just good food! Then, I load it up with all the fresh essentials: lettuce, @wholesumharvest cucumber + tomatoes, chickpeas, pickled onions, tzatzik, garlic sauce, feta, and @mezzetta olives. This combo will have you eating like a Greek god all week long!

When you think Greek food, you probably picture those iconic Greek Chicken Gyros. Vendors line the streets in Greece with their vertical rotisseries, ready to make the most mouthwatering wraps and bowls. So why not take that juicy, tender gyro chicken and turn it into a bowl for meal prep?

Not British, but married to one, and this dish got his full approval. This Phyllo-Topped Fish Pie with leeks, cobia, potatoes, peas, cream, and cheese is the ultimate cozy comfort food. Think: shepherd’s pie meets seafood bake —elevated.

🥔🐟🥶 Comment “recipe” below and I’ll send you the full step-by-step or tap the link in my bio to grab it right now. Don’t forget to save this post for your next cold-weather craving.

Start by softening leeks in olive oil (trust me, the smell alone = heaven), then layer in flaky cobia, tender potatoes, sweet peas, and a rich, creamy cheese sauce (not in that order 😘). Responsibly farmed Cobia from @openbluecobia, certified by @bapcertification, is a mild, buttery white fish that holds up beautifully in baking. It’s the perfect base for a dish like this. #BAPCertificationPartner

Finish it all off with golden, crispy phyllo sheets for that dramatic crunch on top. It’s hearty, nostalgic, and honestly tastes like a warm hug. Perfect for chilly nights, fall dinner parties, or anytime you need a little food-based serotonin boost. My English husband says it’s “proper,” and I say it’s magic.

Welcome Back to Episode 45 of All Things Greek! Today we are making Κοτόπουλο με πατάτες λεμονάτο στο φούρνο - AKA Greek Baked Lemon Chicken and Potatoes. I feel like I have to add that it is actually being made by a Greek person…

🐤🍋🥔 Comment ‘recipe’ below and we will send you the full recipe or tap the link in my bio to access our website. Don’t forget to save this post for later!

This recipe is knock-your-socks-off delicious and it’s so easy to make. Just add everything to the casserole dish and let it bake. The aroma that’ll fill your house will make your mouth water.

I have so many core, deep, happy memories related to this dish. Wednesday nights at church with my Greek community. We didn’t go to church on Sundays because our priest wasn’t from our city so every month we would gather on a random Wednesday night after service (he would travel 3 hours to be with us) and eat a beautiful meal. Each mother in the Greek community would bring an authentic, comforting dish. My mom was very busy raising us, driving us from sport to sport and working at our family restaurant - so this was always her go-to! Don’t confuse the 10 minutes of effort with simplicity or laziness, this dish is truly remarkable.

NOTE: The yellow mustard isn’t something my mother did when we were growing up. It’s completely OPTIONAL! This is a new trend among new-age Greeks BUT it is wonderful. You must try. I don’t want to hear you bashing it unless you give it a try.

Easy Better For You One Pot Hamburger Helper today @foodbymaria

👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for my Hamburger Helper!! It will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳

This might just be the easiest one-pot dinner out there—and not only is it simple, it’s downright delicious and a little nostalgic, too. It really needs no introduction… we’re talking about Hamburger Helper—an iconic dish from many people’s childhoods.

(Confession: it wasn’t part of mine.)

But ever since we developed this version, it’s been on repeat in my kitchen.

What makes it special? Think: generous amounts of grated zucchini for a fiber boost, creamy cottage cheese, high-protein bone broth, and perfectly cooked elbow pasta, all tied together with rich tomato paste and crushed tomatoes from @delallofoods. They always deliver the highest quality ingredients, which makes this comforting classic feel like something you’d find on a 5-star menu. #dellalopartner

P.S. If you want to skip the added fiber or cottage cheese, that’s totally fine—not every meal needs to scream GYM BRO.
