It was exactly 10 years ago today that my life, my family’s life and all American lives changed forever. I still vividly remember where I was when I first found out. I was fairly young, sitting at my desk in history class. My history teacher was reviewing the facts of the American Revolution . “Does anyone here know how the American Revolution began,” asked my teacher. A young student in the back row squeaked out a reply, “Because Americans wanted to make it clear that no one can take away our rights and privileges.” Little did I realize then, as quickly as my teacher wrote that answer in …

Nearly 10 years ago, life in the U.S. was permanently altered. The September 11 attacks—four coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda on American soil—took nearly 3,000 lives in total and forever changed our lives.

"Eat something you must be hungry," my Yaya (Grandmother in the Greek language) would always recite to me when I came to visit. In the Greek culture, food is important, but not because of the obvious reasons such as taste and comfort. Some of the most important conversations in my life have occurred around food. Whether cooking in the kitchen, heading out to dinner or enjoying a late night snack, food brings people together. What I learned to cook in my Yaya's kitchen dosen't measure up to the life lessons that I learned. Every Greek Easter my family gathers in my Yaya's kitchen for a day …
