Greek Lemon Rice with Chickpeas
Greek Lemon Rice with Chickpeas is an amazing one-pot dish! It is full of great Mediterranean flavors and is packed with so many herbs and veggies. You’ll think you’re somewhere warm and sunny when eating this dish 🙂 The recipe can be found here. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make sure you have a large ovenproof skillet to use. You will start by heating ingredients on the stove and will eventually move the skillet into the oven, so you want to make sure you are using something rated for oven use. I used a large cast iron skillet, but a Dutch Oven would also work well. Prep all of your ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, drain and rinse the chickpeas, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, chop the dill, slice the lemon, slice the olives, and slice the tomatoes. Whew! I think that covers it all! Set all the … Continue reading

Vegan Meals
We recently committed to a vegan diet for about 2 weeks and have to admit, it was delicious! We had done this once before, but enough time had passed that we wanted to try some different foods and see how we could handle meals without any meat, once again. We both lost weight, our bodies felt great, and we enjoyed creating recipes.

If you’re up for the challenge, I recommend starting with a week of vegan eating. If it works out well, try for another week. Baby step your way into it! We don’t plan on going vegan by any means. We love food too much and would miss some of our favorite meals! BUT… we do plan on incorporating more vegan meals into … Continue reading

Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing is a wonderful salad that works as a main dish or side dish. I do think this is a great salad for colder weather because I like to serve it warm, but it is light enough that you can enjoy it during warmer months. The veggies Melt. In. Your. Mouth. They are THAT good. The spiced chickpeas have a good amount of heat and flavor, so they complement the mild tasting cauliflower nicely. The chickpeas also have a crispy outside, so they add a bit of crunch to the salad. When you drizzle the Lemon Tahini Dressing over the top and take your first bite you will be in heaven. The Lemon Tahini Dressing adds the perfect amount of citrus and tang to the warm and smoky salad. I could eat this dressing on any vegetable – it’s that good! It’s also oil-free, … Continue reading
