Dr Oz: It’s All Greek To Me Review

It’s All Greek To Me includes century-old recipes that have been passed down through her family. It is dedicated to her father, who passed away from ALS; a portion of the proceeds will be donated in his memory.

Matenopoulos secretly married her husband during a trip to Greece, and their elopement was a prelude to their big family wedding at home. Instead, she got pregnant, and now the big wedding will likely be postponed until after the birth.

Debbie Matenopoulos: Dr Oz Greek Yogurt Spaghetti Recipe Ingredients

Make this Greek Yogurt Spaghetti for creamy pasta without the excess calories. Debbie said her mother thinks it’s strange how popular organic spaghetti is in America, because it used to be considered peasant food in Greece.

Audience member Seval taste tested Debbie’s recipe and compared it to Dr Oz’s mother’s recipe. Seval voted for the Turkish dish, but it turned out she was actually Dr Oz’s sister!
