Greek Week: Day 3 I made this Vegetarian Moussaka (Greek Lasagna) for Day 3 of our Greek Week experiment. It did NOT disappoint, but WOW, talk about time intensive!! For this mama of 2 young boys who always opts for quick, easy and nutritious recipes, it is just not practical to spend 2 hours working on dinner (NO THANK YOU!) …
Greek Chicken Souvlaki Salad
Greek Week: Day 2 I am so proud to say that I have accomplished something tonight that I never thought possible. My husband had NOTHING bad to say about the meal—AND IT WAS CHICKEN. I was grilling it when he got home tonight and handed him a piece and he closed his eyes, clapped his hands together and say …
Chick Pea & Spinach Saute
Greek Week: Day 1 This recipe was inspired by my husband. For those of you who don’t know me personally, my husband is from Greece. He grew up there (age 2 1/2 – 17) and then moved here to attend college. The point is? He is very much so a Greek food lover (as am I) but it is the …
Chicken Spinach Saute
This meal was SO simple and quick! It’s Friday night and the thought of preparing a meal was not really on the top of my ‘I really want to do this’ list, but I knew that was not an option! I am SO happy I tried this one out! The photo to the left is what it looked like at …
21 Day Fix Fiesta Shrimp
I love a good shrimp recipe! We don’t eat a lot of seafood in our home, so when we do, it is a real treat. (I have this rule about being able to see the water a fish was caught in OR that we are in a nice fish restaurant to order or make fish!) ANYWAY, this 21 Day Fix …
Slow Cooked Mediterranean Artichoke Chicken
This Slow Cooked Mediterranean Artichoke Chicken was packed full of my favorite Mediterranean flavors!! My husband is Greek and grew up on a small island in Greece. He comes from a place where you have fresh ingredients to pick off the vine and herbs and spices growing all around you! I love cooking with lots of Mediterranean spices and herbs …
Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
Ok, I GET IT! You hear cabbage and think, ‘Next’. GIVE THIS ONE A SHOT! It is really good!! I told Basili (my husband) we were having Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls and he kind of scoffed at the idea of cabbage rolls and told me he would order a pizza if he didn’t like them. Challenge accepted. He tried it and …
Slow Cooked Pulled Pork
One of my favorite tools in the kitchen is my slow cooker. I love that I can throw everything together in the morning, leave and when I get home, my house smells amazing like I had been cooking all day! This slow cooked pulled pork is great for game day, a picnic, family gathering or just a delicious weeknight dinner! …
Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken
I LOVE this recipe! Not only is it super easy and quick, but it is packed FULL of flavor and it is SO versatile! Serve it up on a whole grain tortilla, over a bed of brown rice or just with some veggies! Easy peasy and delicious!
21 Day Fix Extreme Turkey Meatballs
A new household favorite – even for my husband who HATES turkey! I wish I could take credit for these flavorful and delicious meatballs, but this recipe is from the 21 Day Fix Extreme nutrition guide! They are DELICIOUS and far-exceeded my expectations. I serve the 21 Day Fix Extreme Turkey Meatballs over spaghetti squash and veggies for myself — sometimes I add …
