I have decided foil packet cooking is my favorite. It is easy, quick, tasty and versatile. I love Greek flavors, so i thought I would try to create something Greek-ish for packet cooking.

I had lunch today at Salem’s newest restaurant, Blue Apron Restaurant & Red Rooster Bar, on their opening day. I checked in on Foursquare and a friend commented that Foursquare should have a badge for “first person through the door at every new restaurant.” So, guilty as charged, but I was excited to try it. …
