Greek food is one of our favorites. It’s so delicious and flavorful, but it is also light and refreshing. What is great about it is that it’s easy to make Greek food healthy, with it’s focus on fresh ingredients. So this is a great dish for lunch or a weeknight dinner that comes together quickly…

Greek Chicken Meatballs with Sour Cream Tzatziki
Life during COVID-19 is really weird – the grocery stores are bought out of a lot of things and we are relying on our pantries a lot more than usual. I have been trying to get fresh garlic for awhile now, but no such luck! My local grocery store is out of onions, garlic, and…
Greek Horiatiki Salad
Horiatiki salad is a traditional Greek dish with green bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, raw red onion, olives, a whole bunch of feta, olive oil and oregano. When Jared and I were in Greece, we ate horiatiki salad every day with our lunch or dinner. We were in Greece for 12 days, I have 11 pictures…
Buffalo Chicken Burgers
When I was traveling every week for work, it was really important to me that I was able to make fun and healthy meals to have during the week. So when I was working on a project that was about 25 minutes from a Wegmans, I made the effort to get myself there every week…

Creamy Asparagus Soup
Asparagus are one of my favorite vegetables – they are versatile, easy to prepare, and delicious. This creamy asparagus soup has a good asparagus flavor, with undertones from the mint, onions, garlic, and parsley. Most asparagus soups don’t call for a traditional mire poix (carrots, onion, and celery) but I use one in mine. The…
Pasta e Fagioli Soup
Pasta e Fagioli soup is one of my absolute favorite Italian comfort foods. Yes – pizza, and pasta and pastina are all amazing too but pasta fagioli is ever so slightly healthier than the other options and tastes just as good. The great thing about it is that it is easy to make, comes together…
