    A Very Good Pimento Cheese Burger

    September 2, 2022 by Lindsay 14 Comments

    HELLO, best pimento cheese sandwich meets pimento cheese grilled cheese meets a perfectly seasoned smashburger! This easy burger with pimento cheese is SO good and perfect for indoor cast iron skillet burgers or outdoor grilling. I love to make pimento cheeseburger and fries plates, but these are also really yummy with homemade potato chips!

    Ok, so where do we stand on grill vs indoor for burger cooking? I'll be honest: I LOVE a burger on the grill, but I'm also super partial to the consistency of indoor cooking (a nice way to say that I'm a control freak). Weather concerns, gas running out, regular "life happens" kinds of things can derail a great burger night plan, and when I want a burger I want a burger.

    Enter: Cast Iron Skillet Burgers. They're by far my favorite way to make burgers indoors. Super simple, seasoned just with kosher salt, a delicious crust from a very hot pan. THEN, we top the whole mess with spicy homemade pimento cheese for a creamy, cool, sharp contrast to the salty beef.

    Let's just....SAY YES to the phrase salty beef. You know?

    2-Ingredient Pink Pasta Sauce

    March 23, 2022 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    The most delicious easy pink pasta sauce recipe! Just two ingredients make this creamy tomato sauce come together FAST (in the time it takes to boil noodles), and you can serve it plain or add anything you'd like to flavor it. Prepare for this to be your new favorite weeknight recipe!

    skillet with wooden spoon and parsley-topped pink pasta.

    Let's prepare for some pink pasta magic, shall we? Two ingredients, fifteen minutes, DINNER.

    This is one of those suuuuuuper kid-friendly dinner recipes that came out of necessity; I wasn't interested in making marinara or another more complicated pasta recipe, and we needed dinner asap. (thank you weeknight sports) Canned tomato sauce + heavy cream saves the day!

    Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce

    March 17, 2022 by Lindsay 11 Comments

    The most foolproof Greek meatball recipe! Beef meatballs with just a little bit of filler, tons of flavor from lemon and oregano, with tzatziki for dipping. Make your own tzatziki sauce, or use your favorite storebought brand!

    pile of greek meatballs with cucumber slices and fresh mint.

    Omg meatballs are just so good, right? Seriously.

    I find that when feeding people, meatballs are one of those "easy but a little special but also everyone likes them" recipes that are fun to make, hard to mess up, and can be made in advance. LOTS of good stuff there, right?

    (Bonus points for meatballs being a nice kid friendly dinner aka pick it up with your hands, I don't have time to cut up your food 17 times a day.)

    Greek Chicken Thighs

    September 16, 2021 by Lindsay 2 Comments

    Delicious broiled chicken thighs with Greek chicken marinade! This version of honey lemon chicken has a quick and easy marinade and is done in under half an hour because the chicken is broiled quickly. Serve these on their own, in pita for chicken gyros, or as part of a Mediterranean charcuterie board!

    crowded board with plate of chicken, lemon halves, tzatziki, pita, and lettuce leaves.

    This has recently become one of my favorite ways to serve chicken, especially in the summer - Greek-style with tangy tzatziki sauce, broiled in the oven for a quick and easy weeknight dinner situation.

    Greek flavors are some of my favorites, and I love a whole meal that is lemony, oregano-y, and honey-esque.  Lemon, honey, olive oil, garlic, and oregano are cornerstone flavors of Greek food and can be mixed and matched in a thousand ways to create different dishes!

    14 Back-To-School Dinner Ideas (with meal prep tips)

    August 5, 2021 by Lindsay 11 Comments

    sliced baked chicken cutlets

    How are we feeling this week? Or whenever you and yours start back to school (if you do)?

    Our district starts in just two weeks, but we're deep in prep for the big day. Beck has asked weekly when school is starting back since it let OUT in May, and now is up to asking about three times per day if tomorrow is the first day of school. She can't wait to start in her new class with new friends, and I'm SO excited for her.
