Church lady food is a different kind of food. It's made with love and labor, and maybe a little extra elbow grease. That's why, when there are church dinners - whether it's chocolate eggs around Easter or oyster stew for New Year's - I want to see what they're all about. 



Saint George Antichochian Orthodox Cathedral holds a Lebanese/Middle Eastern annual dinner as a fundraiser that welcomes the entire community to join. 



The dinner is available for dine-in, takeout, or curbside delivery. I opted for curbside. The meal consisted of handmade Kibbie ground meat and what), Yabrah (cabbage rolls), Loobia Bunadoora (green beans in tomato sauce), Rooz B' Shareeyee (buttered rice with orzo), Salata (salad with oil and lemon dressing), Baklawa (multi-layered fillo and nuts) and pita bread). 



I love that they're continuing to share these traditions, and I get to enjoy the fruits of the labor - all for just $20.
