For dinner earlier this week, I made the most delicious Easy Greek Casserole using a recipe from Miss Conduct of the Boston Globe. I’ve always loved reading Miss Conduct’s witty advice in the Boston Globe Magazine, but who knew she turned out great recipes, too?
My Easy Greek Casserole turned out so well the other night. Even my husband liked it! It’s a great meal to have in my recipe arsenal, and I’ll definitely make it again soon.
So, let me tell you why I love this recipe so much…
It’s tasty.
Check out this recipe’s all-star cast of ingredients: baby spinach, garlic, grape tomatoes, brown rice, olives, feta, tofu, and olive oil. Doesn’t that combination sound delicious? Well, it was! Each bite was packed with flavor and the texture kept me guessing… in a good way! Mmmmm!
It’s easy.
I love casseroles– mostly because they are so easy to make, and considering the recipe name includes the word ‘easy,’ you can probably guess just how simple it was to make. From start to finish (including cook time), the whole process probably took me about 45 minutes. Casseroles are also great because they provide a ton of leftovers for quick weeknight dinners.
It’s nutritious.
So, how did Miss Conduct’s Easy Greek Casserole score on the NuVal scale? Pretty darn good!
Check out the recipe’s scores (remember 100 is the highest):
- Baby Spinach: 100
- Garlic: 91
- Grape tomatoes: 96
- Brown rice: 82
- Eggland’s Best eggs: 33
- Kalamata olives: 10
- Athenos Mild Feta Cheese Crumbles: 24
- Olive oil: 11
- Tofu: NuVal hasn’t scored tofu quite yet, but we will! NuVal is scoring all products in grocery stores– we just haven’t finished tofu yet.
I’m sure you can tell by now that I am a big fan of this recipe. You should definitely bookmark this one!

This looks delicious! I’ve bookmarked it for future use. Burritos are the go-to easy dinner in my household. We stuff whole-wheat tortillas (I like the ones from La Tortilla factory for the nutritional punch) with black beans, tomatoes, salsa, whatever veggies we have on hand and a little reduced-fat cheese. Microwave for a minute. Done!
I normally cringe at casseroles, but I love this one. It is healthy and doesn’t have cream of something soup…ha!
That dish looks really good!
Enjoy!
