When you read as many cookbooks as I do, a lot of things start to repeat themselves. In old church cookbooks you can expect to see pasta, jello, and fruit salads in the "salad" section. These cookbooks generally lack leafy green salads. You'll find a veritable feast of casseroles in the "main dishes" section, too.… Continue reading Italian Linguine Pasta Salad

Greek Vegetable Flatbread
Since I started working a normal human shift (7am-4pm), I've been leaning heavily on cold lunches to get me through the day. I've never really taken a lunch break before. When I worked nightside (2pm-11pm) I would run to the break room, heat up my dinner, then go back to my desk to eat. Now… Continue reading Greek Vegetable Flatbread
Greek Tortellini Salad
Is there a pasta shortage I don't know about? I know there are supply chain issues on just about everything right now, but pasta?! When I live in the farm belt of the Midwest??? Seriously, my pasta aisle has been wiped clean for about a month now. The only thing that remains is the boxed… Continue reading Greek Tortellini Salad
Greek Turkey Bowls
I'm a seasoning hoarder. I love to pick up new spice blends whenever I can. That means my spice cabinet is overstuffed and overflowing with seasoning. Slap Ya Mama is one of my favorites. I also love Trader Joe's Green Goddess seasoning. A regular Italian seasoning is fine, too. But one of my absolute FAVORITES… Continue reading Greek Turkey Bowls
Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
I've got an extremely short week at work this week (I'm just working Monday - Wednesday) because I'm headed off for an anniversary weekend adventure with my husband. Every year we try to go somewhere new (last year was canceled, obviously, due to COVID) and this year we'll be going to Canton, TX for the… Continue reading Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
Greek Turkey Burgers
It's been a rough week. It may be y'alls Thursday, but technically it feels like Friday for me. While everybody was off barbecuing on the Labor Day weekend, I was at work. I hate when I add an extra day to my work week because I feel thrown off the entire week. I keep thinking… Continue reading Greek Turkey Burgers
Mediterranean Couscous Salad
I'm still over here trying to use up all of my couscous. It's been weeks and the stuff never runs out! I've been getting creative in the kitchen trying to come up with ways to use the little pasta pearls. I've done main dishes, side dishes, and now salads. I refuse to buy any other… Continue reading Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Southwestern Turkey Salad
It's finally here. The day that I can debut pictures taken with my new camera! I'm still figuring out all the kinks. I'm not a still photographer. I was a videographer for years, using big & bulky Panasonic and DVC cameras...not small, beautiful DSLR's. I've also discovered I might be blinder than I realized---several pictures… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Salad
Mediterranean Orzo Salad
I feel like I've been on a weeklong food binger. The holidays are rough, really rough. There's cookies and candies and pies and turkey and stuffing galore. Now is the time to start getting through the end of the leftovers and then rebooting the system. I've got to get some more greens and roughage in… Continue reading Mediterranean Orzo Salad
Mediterranean Chicken Zoodle Salad
August is already off to a jam-packed start. We've been slammed at work over the last week and a half, and in a few days I'll be off on a vacation for a week and a half. To say it's needed is an understatement. It's not just work bogging me down right now, there are… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Zoodle Salad
