This time of year is prime for family gatherings, holiday parties, potlucks at work, you name it!… and I want to help you kick of the holiday season with a few simple (yet tasty) appetizer recipes that are sure to get the party started.

Baked Feta & Vegetable Pasta
Not too long ago, I hopped on the TikTok trend where you bake a block of feta cheese with cherry tomatoes and when done, toss it with cooked noodles for a light and refreshing pasta. It was a HUGE hit in our house so I figured I would try it again but with a few changes. The original recipe is for Baked Feta and Tomato Pasta but the recipe I’m going to share with you today is for Baked Feta and Vegetable Pasta. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the feat in the center of the baking sheet. This recipe calls for a block of feta but if it’s OK to use crumbled if that’s the only available option at the grocery store. Just pile it high and try to keep it as … Continue reading

Baked Feta and Tomato Pasta
I can’t say that I’m super “with it” and on top of today’s trends but did come across a recent TikTok trend where people are baking an entire brick of feta cheese and turning it into pasta. We tried it at home and not only is it a simple dish to prepare but it’s also delicious! The result is Baked Feta and Tomato Pasta. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Add your tomatoes to a 9×13 baking dish. Either cherry or grape tomatoes are fine but make sure you have 2 pints. Then, liberally drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until the tomatoes are fully coated. Shift the tomatoes there is a large well in the center. Place the brick of feta in the center. If you can’t find a brick of feta that’s ok. You can use crumbled feta but make sure to put it … Continue reading

Bruschetta Pasta (Vegan)
Every so often I like to make a vegan dish for a few reasons. First, the food is actually delicious (don’t knock it ‘til you try it) and second, I have friends and family members who are vegan (or follow a similar diet), so I like to have a few recipes in my back pocket in case I’m ever entertaining them. I’d rather be accommodating so they know they can comfortably eat at my house than have them eat before coming over. And truly, the food is quite good, in addition to being good for you! Bruschetta Pasta is one of my to-go dishes. It is a vegan dish, but you could easily add parmesan cheese or a little shredded mozzarella if you aren’t following a special diet or don’t have dietary restrictions. I like this pasta because it’s very light and refreshing. Think of traditional bruschetta, but instead of … Continue reading

Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed Peppers are a favorite at my house. There are so many possibilities for stuffed peppers so you can really cater the filling to meet any dietary need. Our recent craving has been for Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers. They are quick to make, fairly simple to assemble, vegetarian / vegan, healthy, and tasty 🙂 You can make this dish more colorful by using a combination of green, orange, red, or yellow bell peppers. I’m partial to red bell peppers for no particular reason so that is what I choose to use. I typically serve these as a main dish, but they could easily be a side dish if served with other items. Look for medium to large bell peppers because they are easier to stuff and hold more ingredients. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each bell pepper in half, length … Continue reading

Margarita Chicken
Margarita Chicken is one of my new favorite dishes. It’s quick and easy to make, healthy, and a tasty meal you can enjoy all year round. The chicken is grilled to perfection, then topped with melted cheese, pesto, tomatoes, and basil. The recipe can be found here. Here’s how you make it: Start by combining the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. In a separate bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil and lemon. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the chicken on each side for about 8-10 minutes. I like to cook the chicken low and slow, so I don’t burn the meat if the chicken breasts are thick. You can always cover the skillet to help evenly distribute the heat. If you are better with a grill it’s OK to cook the chicken that way too! … Continue reading
