Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette
Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette might be my new favorite way to dress a salad. Roasting the garlic mellows it nicely while the fresh lemon juice gives a nice burst of bright flavor.

Quick Greek Red Wine & Feta Vinaigrette
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.

Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Dip
I was torn on whether to call this beautiful bowl of roasted goodness a dip or a spread. Not that it really matters, but considering I dipped my way through its photo shoot, I settled on Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Dip. Had there been a baguette in the house, this most certainly would have been called a spread. You decide.

Homemade BBQ Sauce
We ran out of our favorite bottled BBQ sauce about the time I developed an insatiable craving for BBQ Chicken Pizza. Sadly it’s not available locally so this time I turned the tables and challenged myself to come up with a Homemade BBQ Sauce that was equally as good as our favorite.

Pork Souvlaki {with Tzatziki Sauce}
Pork Souvlaki {with Tzatziki Sauce}. It’s time for a relatively wordless Wednesday. These skewers of happiness happened. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and fresh oregano infuse the tender pork chunks with classic Greek flavor.

Caprese Panzanella {with Shrimp}
I scored these gorgeous tomatoes at the market this week, aren’t the colors amazing! Each year when tomato season hits, we run down the list of our favorite tomato recipes. Almost in unison, I heard Caprese Salad and Bread Salad. Just think what gorgeous children those two classics will make. That’s when the Caprese Panzanella love child was born.

Submarine Dressing
For me, it’s the Submarine Dressing that kicks up all those Italian meats and cheeses as they nestle into crusty Italian sub rolls. I’m a huge fan of Italian Grinders aka Italian Submarine Sandwiches.

Chili Gumbo
I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day.
