My husband and I are slightly obsessed with shawarma. It is just soooo good. There are all kinds of variations and ways to eat shawarma but today I made these simple chicken shawarma wraps. The combination of spiced chicken, Israeli pickles, fries and garlic sauce is about as tasty as it gets. The chicken inContinueContinue reading “Chicken Shawarma Wraps”

Ricotta Dumplings with Asparagus and Garlic
This recipe comes from Bon Appetite. I had never had or heard of ricotta dumplings but the picture looked delicious and I love to try cooking new things. The simple dumplings are made of ricotta, eggs, cheese, flour and salt. They are served with asparagus and garlic in a chicken broth and topped with chivesContinueContinue reading “Ricotta Dumplings with Asparagus and Garlic”
Chopped Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
This recipe is from Kathleen Ashmore. I love her salad recipes! They have so many great ingredients and interesting dressings. We had this chopped salad with our spinach and artichoke galette last week, but it kept well in my fridge for a few days after and I ate it for lunch every day. The baseContinueContinue reading “Chopped Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing”
Moroccan Meatball Soup with Israeli Couscous
I love this soup! Israeli couscous is my favorite kind of couscous. It is larger than regular couscous and so satisfying in a soup. This soup has all the good things… highly spiced meatballs, Israeli couscous, flavorful broth and veggies, and you top it off with a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Yum! You can makeContinueContinue reading “Moroccan Meatball Soup with Israeli Couscous”
Sirloin Kebabs
I have been making these marinated sirloin kebabs for years, but I tend to make them only for camping trips. They are great make ahead option because you can marinate and skewer the meat and veggies ahead of time and just grill when ready. We haven’t had a chance to go camping since the spring,ContinueContinue reading “Sirloin Kebabs”
Fried Bologna Sandwich
Who else grew up eating bologna sandwiches as a lunch box staple? I liked them fine as a kid, but wasn’t overly impressed. This fried bologna sandwich is a step up from the soggy brown bag lunch version of childhood. The bread is toasted, the bologna is nicely fried, and it is served on myContinueContinue reading “Fried Bologna Sandwich”
Spinach and Artichoke Galette
I love making galettes. They seem fancy, but are actually way easier to make than pies, and you can fill them with pretty much anything you like, sweet or savory. This spinach and artichoke galette is based on the Half Baked Harvest one, but as always I have a few tweaks. The crust for thisContinueContinue reading “Spinach and Artichoke Galette”
Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork Noodle Bowl
This Vietnamese lemongrass pork noodle bowls are one of my favorite meals. The lemongrass pork is served with tofu, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, cilantro and mint over rice noodles and drizzled with amazing nuoc cham (lime sauce). They are healthy and light, but pack so much flavor into one bowl. They don’t require a tonContinueContinue reading “Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork Noodle Bowl”
Creamy Garlic Chicken
Creamy garlic chicken consists of lightly breaded, pan seared chicken served over mashed potatoes with a caramelized garlic gravy. Need I say more? 🙂 I can pretty much eat endless variations of meat/gravy/mashed potatoes, and this one is a nice twist on the traditional beef dishes. Like any dish where I’m going to pan fryContinueContinue reading “Creamy Garlic Chicken”
Short Rib Chili
Chili is one of those things that everyone makes differently, and there are so many variations. I love a good traditional ground beef chili with tomato based sauce and make that often. This chili, though, is probably our favorite. Short rib chili takes a little more time and work than typical chili, but it hasContinueContinue reading “Short Rib Chili”
