Here's a new one. Take any sandwich-esque thing you like, put it in a tortilla, and ruin a perfectly good taco!
I know. Sorry. I love it, though!
This one ways Jay's idea. It was lovely and sunny outside yesterday, which is totes great for photographing food, and I kind of wanted beef and Jay kind of wanted something Mediterranean-ish so....here we go. ...
Guys we have soup in the summer!
I hope that's ok. 
Like we discussed, my honeymoon consisted of caring for a sick husband, who's currently still a little stuffy. Poor kid. I made him soup, but I didn't want anything too heavy since it's AUGUST, so we went with this:
Greek-style lemon chicken soup with feta, fresh spinach, and pasta.
WHOA was it good. Super lemony without being tangy, and you make your own stock AS you poach the chicken. Two steps in one!
...
Guys it's finally Friday.
I have my final yoga test this afternoon but then tomorrow my sister and I are going to a yard sale and a farmers market so....just gotta get through today?
Anyway.
Food.
I made this meal last weekend, and it was super easy-peasy, and REALLY delicious. Lots of the components can be made ahead or aren't even really recipes so...let's get to it!
...
So, our friends Wes and Sangeeta have a house in the mountains, kind of near where we're getting married.
It's close to where we live, but 10 degrees cooler, totally isolated, and totally mountainous. Duh.
We went there last weekend!
I made dinner one night, and part of the dinner was these meatballs. They're lamb. They taste like a gyro. Or the middle east. Or something slightly foreign but SO flavorful and delicious and you want to eat 1,000 of them.
You know foods like that, right?
...
Happy Friday!
It's raining here and I'm pretty sure my work week lasted approximately 8 days. What about yours? I had several people confuse yesterday with Friday, so I'm glad that it's ACTUALLY Friday now. Phew. I'm pooped.
This isn't about me, though. This is about moussaka. Do you know what it is? It's Greek. It's like lasagna...but without noodles...and with eggplant...and lamb..and WHOA is it good.
There are thousands of ways to make it, and I'm not in any way pretending that this is the most authentic method. It IS a delicious method, though, so you should try it! There's cheese, too.
...
Real men also don't eat quiche, apparently.
I think that has something to do with real men not being able to spell, but that's juts my personal opinion.
To that point, 1. Jay is not a real man, and 2. real men are dumb.
I made this a few nights ago when my bff Heather came over to drink wine (out of bottles. we went high-end) and gossip about every single person we've come into contact with for the past 6 or so years in each of our lives.
Things like that can take awhile, and having a healthy, meat-free appetizer full of protein seemed like just the sustenance we needed.
And, Heather and I love hummus. And wine from bottles. Or boxes.
I would like to announce to you now that I am very immature and plan on making many jokes about balls in this post and if that sort of childish humor offends or irritates you please just ignore it and focus on the fact that you are making delicious, lovely Greek Meatballs.
YUM. ...
This has recently become one of my favorite ways to serve chicken, especially in the summer - Greek-style with tangy Tzatziki Sauce, which you can learn to make here. The chicken and sauce go great with veggies or potatoes and are healthy yet flavorful.
Greek flavors are some of my favorites, and I love a whole meal that is lemony, oregano-ish, 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!
