These Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings have inched their way onto my short list of favorite wing flavors.
Mardi Gras still holds the top spot in my book, but these buttery garlic parmesan wings are insanely good.
There’s no spice, just lots of punchy garlic flavor mellowed by the buttery parmesan parsley toss sauce.

Falafel.
They are bright and green and filled with fresh herbs.
A crispy exterior with a tender moist center makes them irresistible and comfortable and oh so delicious.
These chickpea and herb fritters are a staple dish in many parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.

I wanted to make a gluten free version of Tabbouleh so included Quinoa! It’s perfect!
There’s something about Spring that makes me crave bright green flavors!
Which generally means I’m incorporating as many fresh herbs as possible.
Tomorrow I am making Falafel which I’m going to serve on a great big board with lots of tiny bowls of other levantine favorites like hummus, Jerusalem salad, baba ghanoush, marinated olives and feta, and this gorgeous Quinoa Tabbouleh.

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!

We shall make Chicken Marsala Meatballs. Because TODAY is National Meatball Day!
With the way I love meatballs, this food holiday is deserving of a celebration.
A Meatball Palooza if you will.
I have so many meatball recipes to share (and several I’ve yet to create) that we’ll need days to properly honor those perfectly packaged bundles of love.
I shall call this celebration March Meatball Madness and share a meatball recipe every day for the remainder of the month.

Lemony Thyme Vinaigrette is of course loaded with fresh herbs, freshly squeezed lemon juice, some wonderful aromatics and a nice quality extra virgin olive oil.
Homemade vinaigrettes are so versatile.
And delicious.
With oil and vinegar as your base, the flavor pairings are endless.

Chicken Piccata Meatballs are a new favorite.

Besides how delicious this Chicken Piccata recipe is, it also comes together quickly from ingredients likely already in your fridge/pantry.
That qualifies this as a great week night meal.

Parmesan & Herb Savory French Toast {with Balsamic Onion Jam} is just one more reason I’m addicted to breakfast foods. Fresh herb flavors with a bit of nutty parmesan went so well with the slightly sweet onion jam. Let fresh herbs elevate the flavors in your dishes while you take full credit for the results.
