Fresh Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole with Crispy Shallots will definitely be on our Thanksgiving table.
Whenever I bring up favorite Thanksgiving sides in conversation, Green Bean Casserole always rises near the top. Even though Stuffing seems to be the emotional favorite.

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.

I knew Fresh Fig Crumble Bars would be a popular recipe!
Such a sweet way to incorporate my recent fresh fig score!
And boy are they delicious! The tender crumb is sweet and buttery and the jammy fig layer has a nice hint of lemon.

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house!
Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!!
You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu).
You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!

If you love Roasted Greek Potatoes then you’re going to flip over these Greek Style Potato Wedges With Feta!
You know the kind that cook in the most delicious lemony garlicky broth!
I absolutely adore them and wanted to recreate a version to go with our Greek Chicken Burgers.
These lemony potato wedges have all the beautiful flavors of the classic roasted Greek potato recipe but are crispy like steak fries.

We turned our Greek Chicken Meatloaf into Juicy Greek Style Chicken Burgers.
With summer in full swing, it was time to recreate one of my most favorite Lemony Thyme comfort food recipes.
These burgers have all the fresh bright flavors that Greek food brings – lemon, fresh oregano, spinach, feta, aaahhhhh. They are super moist, easy to make and reheat beautifully.

For the most part, our pantry staples are pretty common. We keep canned tomatoes and beans, dried pasta, boxed broths, baking supplies, etc. However there are a couple of other unique items I like to keep on hand just in case.
Just in case a recipe for Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew crosses my path.

I’m rather proud of our Greek Chicken Meatloaf with Spinach & Feta recipe.
We use ground chicken, which on its own is fairly bland. No worries. Here’s how we bring full blown flavor to this dish.
