Greek Salad


This has to be my all time favorite salad. Simply ingredients and a simple and tangy dressing to go on it. I love to serve this salad with a flank steak, turkey burgers or even baked chicken. If you love feta then I am sure this will become one of your favorite salads as well.







Greek Salad
adapted from South Beach Cookbook

head of romaine lettuce
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado diced
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/2-3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Combine all ingredients above and add dressing. I add dressing to each plate so if I have leftovers they aren't soggy the next day!

Dressing
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt

Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over the lettuce mixture and toss until coated. You will have some dressing left over!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
