Greek Chicken Meatloaf {with Spinach & Feta}
I’m rather proud of our Greek Chicken Meatloaf with Spinach & Feta recipe. We use ground chicken, which on its own is fairly bland. No worries. Here’s how we bring full blown flavor to this dish.

Tabouleh & Couscous Salad
I’m not sure why I’ve waited so long to make homemade Tabouleh. It’s packed full of fresh herbs and aromatics, my absolute favorite way to enhance flavor. Today, I introduced this dish to several friends, who I think now also share my love of this Middle Eastern salad.

Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta {and some exciting news}
Before I talk about this wonderful Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta dish, I must confess I’ve been keeping something from you. I wasn’t sure when it would be the right time to tell you. So I waited until I was sure we were in the clear. It is with great pride and joy that I share the news.

Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp & Feta
There was ‘something’ about this Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp & Feta that grabbed my attention from the moment I saw it. Which was two days ago, somewhere between 3:30 and 4:00 am, while lying in bed surfing Pinterest on my phone. This wide awake in the middle of the night thing has become a bit of a habit. I’ve been told it’s the age, for now I call it my inspirational ‘me’ time.

Greek Salad
It’s crazy to admit that this is the first time I have made a Greek Salad. I’ve loved every one I’ve ever enjoyed at a restaurant. For me it’s the combination of fresh ingredients with big bold flavor personalities, that somehow get along really well. No competitiveness here. I like it!!

Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup
Have I got a great new soup recipe for you. If you LOVE Italian Wedding Soup as much as we do, you’re going to adore this Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup. After enjoying Greek Whole Roasted Chicken seasoned with lemon, garlic & oregano it seemed only fitting to turn the yummy homemade chicken broth infused with those flavors into a Greek inspired soup aka Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup.

Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken
Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken. We were looking for an easy weeknight meal that could be made from ingredients already on hand. We like to keep boneless skinless chicken breasts in our freezer. We buy them in bulk, trim them of any fat, then lightly pound them to an even thickness before freezing them flat in bags of two. When we’re ready to use them we just thaw and create our meal.

Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb}
Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb} If my kid had a signature recipe it would have to be her Yummus Hummus. She started making it several years ago as she discovered a new passion for ‘real’ food. This recipe was something she could make completely from scratch. She actually took great pride in soaking the garbanzo beans overnight and getting up in the morning to make a batch before heading off to work. I remember always hoping she would leave a little behind for mom.
