Lamb Kebabs & Mediterranean Bowls
My good friend Alyssa is my partner in crime when it comes to food. We have thrown many dinner parties and cooked together for years. Awhile she told me about her idea for these Mediterranean Bowls she was putting together. They sounded amazing! That night she sent me...
Spinach Pie
I LOVE dishes made with phyllo. It provides such a unique texture. Phyllo originated in Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines and was used to make pastries, such as baklava. Using it in savory dishes is a relatively new development. This spinach pie is the perfect mix...
Breakfast Casserole
This is what we have for breakfast every Christmas morning. And also on Easter and usually Thanksgiving. And really just anytime we are gathered together and want a yummy breakfast. This definitely qualifies as a vintage recipe. It's nice because you make it the night...
Tator Tot Casserole
Did you eat this as a child? Well here it is, back again. New and improved. It's a little healthier, a few more vegetables, but still takes you back. Use either ground turkey or beef. I have been opting for ground turkey a lot recently. It works so well as a...

Grape and Goat Cheese Crostini
I love appetizers. There's something about those small delicious bites. And there are so many different kinds to enjoy! Crostini is the BOMB! There are so many ways you can prepare it, and this is one of my favorites. Something about the combination of the bread,...
Mexican Polenta Pie
Polenta originated in Northern Italy where it was used in place of pasta. And it is just as delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, this recipe will convert you. Polenta is basically a cornmeal mush, which I know does not sound very appetizing but it is really quite...
Oven Roasted Chicken Breast
This is the juiciest way to cook chicken breast EVER! And it's seasoned perfectly! So often chicken breast can turn out tough and chewy. Roasting it, basted with olive oil, locks in the moisture and cooks it to perfection. Start with good boneless, skinless chicken...
