Pickled Beet Hummus Recipe

April 24, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Bright and tangy with an earthy sweetness, this Pickled Beet Hummus recipe has white beans, za’atar, feta, and mint, and is as pretty as it is delicious.

This surprising combination of flavors is a pairing that works well.

In this Pickled Beet Hummus recipe, the natural sweetness and earthy flavor of beets is brightened with fresh lemon juice and garlic. Cannellini beans provide a great canvas/backdrop flavor. Tahini, a traditional hummus ingredient, adds creamy texture and subtle bitter nuttiness to balance out the sweetness of beets. And za’atar adds complexity.…

Thank you National Watermelon Promotion Board for sponsoring this post. Watermelon is the perfect portable food for enjoying wherever life takes you! Watermelon Salad Skewers with Tomato, Basil, and Feta balance sweet and salty flavors, and are perfect for packing on your next summer picnic! One of the most quintessential summer foods is watermelon, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious, but it’s about 92% water. It’s refreshing, as well as a great way to help stay hydrated. And it’s fun! There’s nothing quite like packing a giant watermelon and slicing it up when you’re on a picnic or at a BBQ; everyone’s […]...

Greek Turkey Burgers with Easy Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

July 22, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

This recipe for Greek Turkey Burgers with Easy Homemade Tzatziki Sauce is a fun fusion of basic burgers and Greek Spanakopita for a fresh new weeknight meal idea. It’s packed with the flavors of garlic, spinach, pine nuts, and feta! It’s very rare that we actually make burgers at home. They usually take the backseat to grilled steak or BBQ chicken. If we’re craving a burger we usually hit up Smashburger (if my hubby is choosing) or Shake Shack (if it’s my turn to pick!)....

Crispy Baked Kale Phyllo Triangles with 3-Ingredient Feta Yogurt Dip

January 9, 2015 by Faith 19 Comments

The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean we’re done entertaining. There’s always something to celebrate and if there’s one thing I think we can all agree on about a party, it’s that there should be food. But yeah, maybe food that’s a little lighter because the holidays did just end and let’s face it, many of us probably need to cut back just a bit on indulgence right now. We don’t have to sacrifice flavor though!...

Two-Grain Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Feta

June 27, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

“You want to make potato salad again?”, Mike asked me one day. We were headed to a potluck pool party later that day and he was apparently sick of potato salad. (I can’t blame him though; I brought our favorite potato salad to three different parties in the past month! Truth be told, I’m a little sick of potato salad too.)...

Savory Rosemary Shortbread Cookies + Creamy Whipped Feta with Rosemary

June 6, 2013 by Faith 10 Comments

In college I knew someone who thought he was Jay Gatsby’s character from The Great Gatsby. He acted aloof and mysterious, and no joke, made me call him “J”. Not even “Jay” like in the book; just “J” because he said he felt like it suited him better. Although we grew up only living 10 minutes apart, we were in different school districts and never met until college. He liked to pretend that he was exotic and foreign, and although he was just six months older than me, so much more worldly, learned, and well-traveled. (He actually was more well-traveled than I was at the time, […]...

I’m dying for Pakistani food…can you be ready in 45 minutes?, Mike asked me one night....

Savory Caramelized Onion, Feta, & Herb Muffins

February 25, 2011 by Faith 49 Comments

These muffins were revolutionary for me. Until I made them, I had never had a savory muffin before (yes, you read that right…never! Well, except cornbread, if that counts ;) ). These muffins were unique to me because they showed that good muffins don’t need a boatload of sugar to be delicious (and so incredibly moist!). I’m even thinking of remaking a few of my favorite sweet muffins (like blueberry, apple cinnamon, banana walnut, and lemon poppy) with this basic recipe (obviously omitting the savory additions), because these muffins are so tasty I really don’t think the sugar will be missed....

Spinach, Sweet Onion, and Feta Pie

July 6, 2009 by Faith 17 Comments

This recipe is similar to both Greek spanakopita and Arabic fatayer bi sabanekh. In this recipe I used frozen cut spinach because it saved me the time of having to wash and wilt fresh spinach. My husband eats this dish with a side of plain yogurt, and while it might sound strange, I have to admit the tang of the yogurt accentuates the spinach very well…who knew! This recipe will be sent over to Zoe for this week’s feta Blogger Secret Ingredient! Spinach, Sweet Onion, and Feta Pie (Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie, cut into 8 wedges, 2 per serving if served as a main course) […]...
