Quinoa Tabbouleh Gluten Free
I wanted to make a gluten free version of Tabbouleh so included Quinoa! It’s perfect! There’s something about Spring that makes me crave bright green flavors! Which generally means I’m incorporating as many fresh herbs as possible. Tomorrow I am making Falafel which I’m going to serve on a great big board with lots of tiny bowls of other levantine favorites like hummus, Jerusalem salad, baba ghanoush, marinated olives and feta, and this gorgeous Quinoa Tabbouleh.

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.

Smoky Sweet Potato Hummus {my go-to snack}
Hands down this Smoky Sweet Potato Hummus has become my go-to snack. It’s the right mix of savory-slightly sweet that when paired with crispy chips or veggie sticks I dare say is the perfect snack!

Greek Style Potato Wedges With Feta
If you love Roasted Greek Potatoes then you’re going to flip over these Greek Style Potato Wedges With Feta! You know the kind that cook in the most delicious lemony garlicky broth! I absolutely adore them and wanted to recreate a version to go with our Greek Chicken Burgers. These lemony potato wedges have all the beautiful flavors of the classic roasted Greek potato recipe but are crispy like steak fries.

Juicy Greek Style Chicken Burgers
We turned our Greek Chicken Meatloaf into Juicy Greek Style Chicken Burgers. With summer in full swing, it was time to recreate one of my most favorite Lemony Thyme comfort food recipes. These burgers have all the fresh bright flavors that Greek food brings – lemon, fresh oregano, spinach, feta, aaahhhhh. They are super moist, easy to make and reheat beautifully.

Pork Souvlaki {with Tzatziki Sauce}
Pork Souvlaki {with Tzatziki Sauce}. It’s time for a relatively wordless Wednesday. These skewers of happiness happened. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and fresh oregano infuse the tender pork chunks with classic Greek flavor.

Mediterranean Lunch Bowl
So many beautiful colors and flavors in this Mediterranean Lunch Bowl. Roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, luscious olives, orzo pasta, baby spinach, and grilled lemon & herb chicken. Pulled together from ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.

7-Layer Hot Italian Dip
We brought 7-Layer Hot Italian Dip along with a bottle of red and white Italian wines to a happy-hour party recently. We stepped outside the comfort zone on the wines, perhaps this is a chance to discover a new favorite.

Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew {with Citrus Herb Gremolata}
For the most part, our pantry staples are pretty common. We keep canned tomatoes and beans, dried pasta, boxed broths, baking supplies, etc. However there are a couple of other unique items I like to keep on hand just in case. Just in case a recipe for Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew crosses my path.
