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.
Italian Chopped Sandwiches
An Italian Chopped Sandwich isn’t just a sandwich. It’s an experience. Once chopped, the meats, cheeses, vegetables, and giardiniera no longer stand alone. But the dressing? That’s where the real magic happens. Drizzled, the creamy Italian dressing winds throughout, turning each flavor note into a symphony. The result is everything you love about a great Italian deli in a single bite.
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.
Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll
I grew up in the Midwest, where so many settlers from Germany rolled in around the 1880s to the turn of the century. They brought their favorite recipes with them, and cabbage rolls were one of them. A Bundt Pan Cabbage Roll might have an Oma or two rolling over if only she knew.
Boursin Cherry Tomato Pasta
A friend passed this Viral Boursin Cherry Tomato Pasta on to me. I’ve made versions of this simple, baked Cherry Tomato Pasta with Feta Cheese before (and maybe you have, too), but the Boursin in this recipe is an absolute game-changer.
