Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas are summer on a plate. This herby, lemony dish is served over yogurt or whipped cottage cheese for a fabulous light lunch or starter. It’s especially good on hot August days when cherry tomatoes are at their peak, and nothing else seems especially tempting. Finish it with an optional drizzle of balsamic glaze, to take it over the top.

Chinese Sesame Noodles

Chinese Sesame Noodles

It’s been hot this summer, and I’ve been making these Chinese Sesame Noodles on repeat. They’re perfect at room temperature, with a creamy sesame sauce that clings to every noodle and just enough spice to wake everything up. My cravings for this dish aren’t limited to summer, though. I’ll happily have these for lunch or dinner all year long. And after your first bite, I think you’ll feel the same!

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake is one of those recipes that sounds a little crazy until you taste it. It’s hearty, comforting, ridiculously easy to make, and somehow manages to taste like chilaquiles, enchiladas, and nachos all rolled into one.

The Nacho layer, IMHO, really “makes” the casserole.

Biscuit and Gravy Casserole

Biscuit and Gravy Casserole

I have a guilty pleasure secret. I love Biscuits and Gravy. So I scoffed a bit when someone suggested I try a casserole version. I’ve seen recipes over the years, but it wasn’t until recently that I gave it a shot. I was blown away…and I think you will be, too.

Costco Mediterranean Salad

They said it can’t be done. They said the Costco Mediterranean Salad couldn’t be made at home for the price. I say it can be, and for much less, and it will be even better! And better for you! And the only actual cooking is boiling the orzo.
