Bruschetta Panzanella Salad
This Bruschetta Panzanella Salad was born out of leftover garlic bread and bruschetta! Exactly the way classic Panzanella (Italian stale bread salad) is intended to come together. Happy Monday! Monday. The day I peer into my fridge and decide which leftovers from the weekend can be given a new outlook on life. Kind of the way I give myself a new outlook on life. Mondays are my chance to reset. To start the week off right and forgive myself for veering off course by getting back to good intentions.

Our Favorite Meatball Recipes {and a Food Truck Fantasy}
Is it just me or do you agree that Meatballs are a Fabulously FUN Food? I think if I were going to have a Food Truck (and you know we’ve all secretly wanted to own a food truck), I’d make it all about the meatballs ~ Mobile Meatballs (ooo or maybe Meatball Madness). The possibilities are endless.

Greek Chicken Meatballs {and a Meze Platter}
I adore the flavors in these Greek Chicken Meatballs. Lemon and feta and fresh spinach and herbs all playing so nicely together. Ground chicken is such a wonderful canvas for painting big bold flavors and that’s exactly what we’ve done on this Greek Meze platter.
