Fresh and Flavorful Basil and Tomato Bruschetta Last week I posted a recipe for a homemade gluten-free baguette, and I couldn’t get this bruschetta out of my head, so, as the bread was beginning to go a little stale, that’s exactly what I did with it. Yes, bruschetta may traditionally be served as a cold antipasto during the warmer months, but I’ll never say no to fresh, ripe tomatoes and warm homemade bread – no matter what time of the year!...

Move aside dull chicken gyros! We’ve got a new pita wrap in town. And not only is this one flavor-packed bite after another, but it’s also entirely from scratch, practical and straightforward to prepare. My easy chicken gyros wraps are stuffed with a simple yogurt, herb and lemon marinated chicken with loads of creamy Greek yogurt tzatziki to cool it all down. The marinade takes, oh maybe 2 minutes to whip up because it’s as easy as whisking together pantry staples....

Creamy Lemon Pasta Sauce With Spinach Pasta dishes are a regular in my house – I love an ingredient that can be made into a light and refreshing or comfort-food style dish. This lemon spinach pasta is no different; it works as a year-round meal. It’s both creamy enough for a comforting, cozy winter dinner but light and citrusy enough for the warmer spring and summer months too. As easy (and convenient) as it is to grab a jar of pasta sauce from the supermarket, unfortunately, they can contain a whole bunch of additional sugar, salt, and preservatives....

Enchiladas Suizas are the creamiest, most delicious enchiladas you’ll probably ever have. We load the enchiladas with a combination of shredded cheese, tender chicken, diced green chilies, and a squeeze of lime juice to make all the flavors in the enchilada sauce pop. We dress these enchiladas with a cheesy, creamy tomatillo sauce that is so good you’ll want to slurp it through a straw. If any of it ends up making it over the enchiladas, you’ll be so glad it did, because that combination of shredded chicken, warm tortillas, and that creamy, tangy sauce is nothing short of dynamite....

Summer eatzzz! I take that back. You can pretty much eat skillet steak and shrimp all year long because it’s made indoors on a skillet which makes it perfect for weeknights, weekends, summer, or even winter. Along with being a year-round recipe, it’s incredibly easy to make. As in I could buy steaks, ask the hubby to season them and throw them in a pan and around 20 minutes later, we could be eating a fancy skillet steak dinner....

published Aug 31, 2022 Some of my favorite types of Mediterranean recipes come out of Greece. Dishes like this lemon rice, this shrimp saganaki, and these zucchini fritters are all staples in my house. I seriously can’t get enough of them! Today’s Greek dish is called gemista, or Greek stuffed peppers and tomatoes served with potatoes. It only takes 15 minutes of prep work to make. Then sit back, relax, and soak in the yummy aromas of baked vegetables as they slow cook for nearly 2 hours....

published Dec 23, 2022 When I first heard of olive oil cake, I was apprehensive as to how the two could go together. When baking, I’d only ever used olive oil for savory eats like focaccia or zaatar bread, so I wondered how it could make for a sweet, indulgent dessert. But, after making this Greek olive oil cake recipe, the only question left was, “can I have more?” The olive oil in this cake creates a rich flavor and a soft, incredibly moist texture that I have always tried to achieve when baking....

Golden caramelized onions that I left hanging around on the stove until they were just tender and golden brown. Then comes all the creamy elements of the dip that we literally stir together in our slow cooker and pop a lid on. That’s it....

Tips for buying/cooking tapioca If buying tapioca at an Indian store, look for the words sabudana or javvarisi, which are both words for tapioca. If buying tapioca at an American store, opt for the smaller sized tapioca balls. The general rule of thumb is the bigger the tapioca balls, the longer it will take to cook them. I prefer Bob’s Red Mill. Avoid using instant tapioca if you are looking for a bouncy and chewy tapioca texture....

This weekend when we were grocery shopping, I saw that cilantro bunches were on sale and were really fresh. I went really overboard and 3 large bunch of cilantro/coriander leaves. When putting the ingredients inside the refrigerator, I realized that I had bought way too much cilantro. My husband asked me to make kothamalli thuvayal, which I would be making eventually, but tonight for dinner I wanted to make something quick and easy and decided on this cilantro rice....

It’s been a year, that. is. for. sure. If you’re here for just the top 10 recipes 2019, you’ll want to scroll down a little further. The way I usually do these posts, I like to share about the year first, and then we jump into the recipes. I’d be straight up ungrateful if I said it was a bad year for me. Because it really wasn’t bad. Tough? Yes....

If you still have more leftover turkey in your fridge, give my Chicken and Dumpling Soup a try but use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey! Every year I buy a small turkey for Thanksgiving to make sure I have as little leftovers as possible. My personal preference is for a small turkey as it cooks faster and doesn’t dry out as much. No matter how small my turkey is, I still end up with leftovers....
