Couscous Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I saw this recipe in the January/February 2011 Cooking Light magazine and immediately bookmarked it to make. You would think we would be sick of Greek flavors after the Angel Hair Pasta and Greek Burger but we weren't... we all just love Mediterranean flavors. This chicken was really fun to make and tasted wonderful. I split my chicken breast in half (after flattening it) so I could make my

Mediterranean Roasted Potato Salad AND the Giveaway Winners

I wanted to use up some fingerling potatoes and grape tomatoes I had on hand so I decided to make a Mediterranean potato salad. I roasted the fingerling potatoes then tossed them in a lemon vinaigrette and let them cool. I then tossed the cooled potatoes with grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese along with the remaining vinaigrette. It was a quick and simple recipe that

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad

I saw a recipe for a delicious Greek style pasta salad over at Cathy's site, Wives with Knives, that I couldn't wait to make. I added a few extra ingredients like artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, fresh basil, and red onion. We had this salad as our main entree and we all enjoyed it, especially my son, who had two helpings. I ate some of the leftovers the following day and it tasted delicious.

Couscous with Kalamata Olives, Pine Nuts, and Feta Cheese

This is another recipe I adapted from my new cookbook, Organically Raised: Conscious Cooking for Babies and Toddlers. I added tomatoes, parsley, and red onion to the recipe because I had some leftover that needed to be used up. This was a simple, hearty, and delicious side dish that my entire family enjoyed. My son couldn't get enough! Couscous with Kalamata Olives, Pine Nuts, and Feta Cheese:

Greek-Style Pork Chops

I found this recipe in a Cooking Light Magazine and couldn't wait to make it. The pork was tender and juicy while the salad was crisp and full of great flavors. It was a simple meal to make and a big hit with all of us. I especially loved dipping the pork into the tangy dill yogurt sauce - a perfect combination of flavors.Greek-Style Pork Chops:Adapted recipe by For the Love of

Greek Orzo

I wanted a quick, simple, and delicious side dish to pair with my Mediterranean Chicken Thighs so I decided to make a Greek inspired orzo dish. I added spinach, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and red onion to the orzo then dressed it lightly with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, freshly cracked lemon pepper, and feta cheese. The dish was light, healthy, and so tasty. We all enjoyed this dish very

Mediterranean Chicken Thighs

I was in the mood for Mediterranean flavors so I picked up some chicken thighs and marinated them in some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and red wine vinegar for a few hours. The meat was tender, juicy, and very flavorful - this dish was a huge hit with my entire family.

Greek Roasted Chicken

It was another cold and rainy day and I was in the mood for comfort food so I decided to roast a chicken. I seasoned it with Greek flavors such as thyme, oregano, lemon pepper, and garlic. I stuffed the bird with lemon, onion, fresh parsley and loads of garlic cloves. It was tender, juicy and so delicious. I loved the flavors of this roasted chicken and plan to make it more often.Greek

Mediterranean Salad

I saw this recipe in a Sunset magazine a few months ago and thought it looked delicious. I had all the ingredients on hand so I decided to make it for lunch. I adapted it a bit by adding red onion, grape tomatoes, and low fat feta cheese. It was a quick and simple recipe that was hearty and tasty. My son loved it too (except the red onions). Simple ingredients make the best recipes.Mediterranean
