Baked Tomato Side Dish with Feta Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar

August 17, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Baked Tomato Side Dish with Feta Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar pairs with just about any protein you pull of the grill! Or serve it up on toasted baguette slices or with crackers for an easy summer appetizer.

In the summertime, my favorite way to eat tomatoes will forever be sliced with nothing but a sprinkling of sea salt. They’re so sweet and intensely flavored, it always makes me realize that the lookalike imposters available in the supermarket the rest of the year resemble real tomatoes in appearances only. However, there is no comparison in terms of flavor.…

White Bean Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

June 25, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

White Bean Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette is one of those salads that comes together quick (just in time for a summer gathering!), and is even better the next day (that is, if there’s any leftover). Bean salads are some of my all-time favorite salads, and I find that they’re even better the next day after they’ve had time to marinate in the dressing overnight. I usually like to whip up a homemade vinaigrette to dress my salads because it only takes a couple of minutes, and it tastes so much better than anything bottled! (And bonus, it doesn’t have any preservatives […]...

Spanakopita Potato Salad

June 16, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

Spanakopita Potato Salad is a fun twist on potato salad, and a unique dish to bring to any bbq, picnic, or potluck! When Mike and I invite neighbors over for dinner, we typically make one of two things, depending on the weather: grilled meats (like chicken, steak, and/or fish) when it’s warm out, or a rice-based dish (like biryani or maqluba, or an Indian or Thai curry with rice on the side) when it’s cold....

Grilled Zucchini with Quick Tomato-Olive Sauce and Feta Cheese

July 31, 2015 by Faith 11 Comments

Bright Mediterranean flavors make this Grilled Zucchini with Quick Tomato-Olive Sauce and Feta Cheese a perfect summer side dish. Mike and I decided years ago that we just arent campers. Actually, it was after our first camping trip that we sort-of had an inkling that it just wasnt our cup of tea, but after our second trip we outright swore off camping altogether. (Its not the bugs, or the snakes, or even the uncomfortable bedding that gets me. What kills it for me is the fact that I can never just get clean, lol. Dirty feet and sticky fingers are the stuff my nightmares are […]...

Thank you to Tyson Foods for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls. I don’t know who first came up with the idea of a meal in a bowl (for some reason, I feel like it was a fast food chain!), but whoever it was is a food genius....

Spanakopita Puffs

July 23, 2012 by Faith 37 Comments

Given the choice between a big, one-plate meal (like lasagna or roast chicken), or a meal of several small dishes, I will choose the small dishes at least nine out of ten times. (That tenth time I just need roast chicken, lol.)...

Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style

February 9, 2011 by Faith 70 Comments

Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style is a delicious fusion of the flavors in classic Middle Eastern kebabs and Greek gyros. For some reason, I really don’t make a lot of fusion foods, but I do like to update classic dishes with slight subtle nuances to keep them fresh and exciting. This fusion was born out of necessity to solve a problem I had with making gyros at home (more about that in a second), and it really is a match made in heaven. Kebab is a Middle Eastern dish of ground meat (typically lamb, but beef can also be used) that’s seasoned with parsley, onion, cumin, […]...
