And for good reason. It’s absolutely delicious!!!

The punchy flavors in the Quick Greek Red Wine & Feta Vinaigrette will transport your tastebuds.
Whether you have a favorite Greek restaurant or a favorite Greek Island, this dressing will save you the trip!
I love how the classic Mediterranean aromatics and herbs make this dressing sing. But its the salty tangy feta cheese that’s the star. Sweet honey and the acid from the red wine vinegar are the perfect balance.

This Bruschetta Panzanella Salad was born out of leftover garlic bread and bruschetta! Exactly the way classic Panzanella (Italian stale bread salad) is intended to come together.
Happy Monday!
Monday. The day I peer into my fridge and decide which leftovers from the weekend can be given a new outlook on life.
Kind of the way I give myself a new outlook on life. Mondays are my chance to reset. To start the week off right and forgive myself for veering off course by getting back to good intentions.

With these Eggplant Meatballs you’ll never even miss the meat.
Through all of this March Meatball Madness I have received several requests through social media (some subtle, some not) to share more vegetarian options.
This veggie-loving lady is happy to oblige!

Pasta alla Norma is an Italian pasta and eggplant dish with roots in the ancient port city of Catania, Sicily.
My husband’s ancestors also have roots in Catania! Lucky for me it’s where we visited on a dream vacation a few years back.

Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of those recipes.
For as much cooking as I/we do there remains an incredible gap in my culinary knowledge.
I am drawn to classic recipes like this one. It’s the history that surrounds them that draws me in. Which inevitably leads to recipe inspiration.

And I have several favorite roast chicken recipes throughout Lemony Thyme.
Yes, there’s double butter happening here.
