Buffalo Ranch Chicken with Goddess Dressing

Tina0 Comments

What are you having for dinner? I’ve said recently that I’m craving warmer weather and lighter foods, but I’m still hanging on to cozy sweaters and comfort food. I think this buffalo ranch chicken ticks off the boxes for being both a fresh and comfort food kind of meal. If you’re looking for a dinner idea, no matter what time of the year, then I highly recommend this chicken. You’ve got crispy (when it’s fresh from the oven) baked chicken, seasoned with hot sauce and ranch-like spices. Comfort food, check. I enjoyed it with a salad (lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, avocado, …

Are you in a food rut? The other night my husband asked me, “What do people eat for dinner?” That was a hint to me that we’re in a food rut. I’ve been feeling it too. I’m tired of the same old same old that I’ve been making on rotation lately. So I turned to good old Google and found this new recipe to try. Hello, new yummy food. The chicken and chickpeas are covered in loads of warm spices. I added couscous, mini tomatoes, and homemade guacamole to the party. The leftovers are great to add to a salad …

Chicken Keftedes – Meatballs

Guys, I think these are the best little meatballs I’ve ever made. This recipe intrigued me. These little meatballs are made with ground chicken and are seasoned with onions, mint, parsley, coriander, cumin, and lemon. Coriander and cumin for a Greek meatball? I found that unusual so I knew I had to try it. These meatballs are so delicious. The mint and parsley are definitely the key flavors which are quite lovely and very quintessentially Greek. You don’t taste the coriander or cumin. Maybe that’s a good thing? Or maybe they do help what was otherwise boring ground chicken and …

Tuna Lettuce Wrap

Tina2 Comments

I am craving Spring. I’ve got some Spring décor up in my home. I’m getting my Spring/Summer wardrobe ready too. I’m also craving fresh food, like this tuna lettuce wrap. I added avocado and mini tomatoes to the tuna wrap and topped it with one of my favorite homemade dressings, cilantro vinaigrette. (Now with its own post!) You can really change it up by adding whatever veggies and toppings you want or swapping in your favorite dressing. I’m calling this a “wrap” but I always end up putting too much stuff in it to be able to close it. I …

Cilantro Vinaigrette

Tina2 Comments

This cilantro vinaigrette has been a staple salad dressing for the past couple of years. I’ve shared it with a few recipes but I thought that it deserved a spotlight of its own. It’s also handy for me to refer back to a post with just this on it when I want to make it or include it in some other post. 😉 It was a sunny day so I took advantage of the light. I’ve been enjoying playing with the light and shadows in my photos lately. I hope you like the personality of the recent pics. Cilantro Vinaigrette …
