Welcome back to Episode 7 of MY BIG FAT GREEK CHRISTMAS!

This year’s star? A beautifully roasted ham from @WholeFoods Market, carved and studded with cloves so every slice is infused with that cozy, nostalgic holiday warmth. Thanks to Whole Foods Market’s top-tier ingredients, it turns out perfect every single time.

This showstopper roasts alongside silky sweet potatoes, delicate sliced pears, and a crunchy, irresistible pecan brittle that melts into the pan juices and makes the whole dish feel like holiday magic.

It’s easy, unbelievably delicious, and honestly a full-circle moment for me — because even after nearly 10 years of creating recipes, getting to collaborate with Whole Foods Market still gives me chills.

🎄🇬🇷 👩🏻‍🍳Comment “recipe” below if you want the recipe for this Greek-Style Braised Lamb Shanks — it will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 🎄🇬🇷 👩🏻‍🍳

Welcome to Episode 5 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, a series in which I share Holiday recipes from my Greek Childhood and ways you can elevate your holiday traditions with some Greek flare! Today, we are making Greek-Style Braised Lamb (always using @fanoflamb ) Shanks! Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

Okay, I did something amazing with these Braised Lamb Shanks. This recipe is so fantastic. It uses warming spices like cinnamon, and all-spice and is slowly cooked to perfection. This meal would be the perfect dish for a dinner party, or to serve over the holiday season. It’s also just such a comfort meal and warms you up from the inside out. I promise you’re going to love this recipe!

I served mine with a generous serving of Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and loads of that tomato sauce the lamb was cooked in - I rate this dish a 16/10. SO GOOD!

Ohhhh so you NO EAT MEAT? … it’s ok!! I cook LAMB!

There is truly nothing more Greek than this.
Welcome back to Episode 5 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, where I share the recipes that raised me — the ones filled with chaos, comfort, and the smell of lamb running through every good little Greek girl’s veins.

Comment ‘recipe’ below in the comments and I will send you the recipe directly to your DM’s.

And like every dish from my childhood, this one starts the way my mom started everything: with her famous “just a little pinchy-pinch — it’s PRUFECT” of @BetterThanBouillon. Today we’re using both the Roasted Chicken and Roasted Beef Base to build the deepest, coziest flavor for this slow-roasted beauty. #betterthanbouillonpartner

Introducing:

Slow Roasted Boneless Lamb Leg with Horseradish, Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken & Roasted Beef Base, Carrots, and Whipped Feta.
This dish tastes like my childhood, with a little grown-up flair, creamy whipped feta, tender carrots, and lamb so soft it practically falls apart when you look at it.
If you love delicious, flavor-packed, easy-to-love food, search
“FoodByMaria Boneless Leg of Lamb Recipe” online to grab the full recipe.

🍯🍊🍪🎄 Comment “recipe” below if you want the recipe for this Melomakarona (Greek Christmas Honey Cookies) — it will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 🍯🍊🍪🎄

Welcome back to Episode 4 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, a series in which I share Holiday recipes from my Greek Childhood and ways you can elevate your holiday traditions with some Greek flare! Today, we are making Melomakarona using @bobsredmill and @cawalnuts ! Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

Christmas is just around the corner, and these Greek Honey Cookies are a true symbol that Christmas is almost here. They are one of the most popular treats enjoyed during the Christmas Holiday. Some people buy Cinnamon Clove Candles, but most Greek Yiayiaoulas make Melomakarona. They are so comforting and will have your whole home smelling like the best Christmas treat.

The cookies are easy to make, making them a super low lift! I used @bobsredmill all-purpose with beautiful cinnamon, clove, orange juice and the other traditional baking culprits. You can try these with chocolate or even lemon juice if you feel zesty and creative!

What takes these cookies to a WHOLE new level is the honey, orange, and cinnamon syrup they bathe in before being dusted with a stunning layer of walnut crumbles. These are my childhood in a baked good, and I know you will love them too. They are already my English husband’s favourite, and he’s spent all week enjoying them with a hot cup of tea—he said they are perfect for dunking!

Ditch the holiday Turkey this Christmas and try my Crispy Butter Basted Chicken with Shallot Champagne Gravy instead.

My sister said this is like when elegance and medieval times collide and I couldn’t agree more.

Always seasoning with @diamoncrystalsalt and I used @kerrygoldusa butter!

✨ I found the holiday dessert that looks impossible… but takes almost no effort.

This viral Invisible Apple Cake is filled with paper-thin layers of apples, warm spices, and the not-so-secret ingredient that makes every slice melt in your mouth: @shamrockfarmsmilk Vanilla Spice Eggnog. #shamrockfarmspartner

It’s elegant, festive, and the kind of dessert that makes guests ask, “HOW did you make this?” — all while you know it came together with zero stress.

Comment “recipe” and I’ll send it straight to your DMs — and don’t forget to share this with the person you’ll be hosting all holiday season.
