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

Mediterranean Munchies
With the cold weather approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a Mediterranean based meal, and imagine I’m in warmer weather, perhaps sitting on a beach somewhere 🙂 I made Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce for the main course and served Mediterranean Layered Hummus on the side. Both are easy to make, flavorful, and healthy! Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce are filled with spiced chicken, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade sauce, and are served on warm pita bread. The tangy homemade sauce is Tzatziki Sauce, which is a Greek yogurt-based sauce with cucumber and fresh herbs added. These gyros are incredibly tasty! Start by preheating the oven. While the oven preheats, prep the chicken. Place the chicken in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to rub the olive oil over both sides of the chicken. Then sprinkle fresh minced garlic, paprika, … Continue reading
