Greek Chicken & Rice Soup, also known as Avgolemono, is a wonderfully hearty soup with fresh bursts of lemon throughout.
As we head squarely into soup season this creamy delicious pot of love deserves to be on rotation.

If you want to deliver comfort, bring them The Best Three Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It works every time!
Super cheesy, ultra creamy, with a little something special to make them go hmmmm.

This From The Earth Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette is aptly named after our nearby brewery where it can be found on the menu.
The ingredients in this salad are simple and colorful and fresh. Tangy feta, with blistered tomatoes and crisp corn pair perfectly with creamy avocado and fresh cucumber and greens.
Then there’s the Sherry Vinaigrette. Just the right balance of vinegar to honey to aromatic shallot and garlic.

I am coming off such an incredible weekend and needed Monday’s dinner to be as easy as Cacio e Pepe. Served Two Ways!
The first way is rather traditional made with spaghetti and lots of cheese and pepper!
The second is prepared with spaghetti squash! Equally as delicious, gluten free and low carb friendly!

I’ll never forget the first time I tasted these Antipasto Squares (and I’m sure my teammates who were with me won’t either).
We were at an away tennis match, where traditionally the home team provides a spread of food.
These little bites of ooey-gooey-love got our attention in a hurry.
I have no idea if we won or lost our match that day. However, there’s no question that leaving with the recipe for Antipasto Squares was a Win!

Simple Butter Chicken Meatballs Over Basmati Rice is pure comfort.
You know I love to roll my favorite flavors into Meatballs of Love!
The warm Indian spices found in Butter Chicken were the perfect pairing for meatballs. And the sauce is pure heaven!

Copycat Animal-Style Fries.
As an East Coast girl, if you tell a West Coast friend that you’re planning to visit say California – inevitably In-N-Out Burger will become a part of the conversation, including how and what to order.
Nick and I made our first California visit together in 2019 and In-N-Out Burger made our bucket list.

We decided to host an Oktoberfest themed dinner and knew Creamy German Cucumber-Dill Salad would be on the menu.
The ingredients are simple yet the sour cream & fresh dill dressing brings a lovely full flavor to this chilled salad. This salad, also known as Gurkensalat is fresh and light and makes a perfect side dish.

I thought it might be fun to do a little Oktoberfest inspired meal that included simple Sage Brown Butter Spaetzle.
Autumn produce is popping up on every site I follow! Pumpkins, apples, and lots of comfort food awaits! I for one, am completely inspired!
Bring it on Mother Nature! I’m ready for fall!!
