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.

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto is one of those cozy, fall dishes that takes very little effort but has a huge payoff in flavor. And even though this dish and dishes like this are typically called “risotto” it’s made with barley rather than rice. Call me Miss Obvious, lol! 🙂

I first had this Sun-Dried Tomato Feta Pasta Salad from the grocery deli and I was in love at first bite!

I don’t know if I was happy or horrified by how well the Brussels sprouts I had in the fridge kept! I’ve been checking on them, watching as there were certainly things more desperate to be used at my house. They’ve been in my fridge veggie drawer since the first week we high-risk people were told to stay in so that’s five weeks now, I think! Well, it was high time to get after them and so came about this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apple & Feta.
