A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...]

Well, I did it. I really did it! I have to admit part of me didn't think it was possible. When ATHENOS asked if I'd be willing be a Spokesblogger for their Make a Change for the Feta campaign. It included creating 18 Feta Cheese ideas for the month of July and I was [...]

Over and over and over again you guys kept suggesting feta with eggs and I just didn't see it. If you've been reading for awhile you know I absolutely hate cheese on eggs. I'm not sure why. I love eggs. I LOVE cheese but put them together and.... ick, at least in my opinion. I [...]

I think my name for this idea if longer then the actual recipe! Tuesday night is rough for us. Little Guys has karate, the husband as Gaelic Football practice and I'm on dinner duty as usual. (note: I'm never NOT on dinner duty. That's what happens when you marry a non-cook, non-foodie.) Anyway it was [...]

I've never eaten coleslaw in my life. Is that weird? Isn't that was a cabbage salad is? Anyway, I was armed with the cutest little heads of cabbage from the farm and, yup you guessed it, feta. :) So i decided to combine them together and I'm so glad I did! This was fabulous! I [...]

I made this last week as a complete experiment. I thought it came out alright but not great. Until... I ate it cold! Then I feel in love! The sweet couscous with the bite of cilantro, fresh summer squash and creamy feta? YUM! The husband wasn't game but I had a friend come over [...]

Have I ever confessed my LOVE of cheese and crackers to you? Give me a hunk of cheese (cheddar, jack, muenster, whatever,) a knife, some crackers and I'm in heaven. I like it so much I stopped buying blocks of cheese. I'm serious! I can't be trusted with them in the house. I can [...]

Ok, don't stone me for this but I HATE tuna salad. I never order it. Ever. I think it's gross and totally disgusting. Not because of the tuna but because of the mayonnaise. I've never been a fan of mayo even as a kid. Once I saw them make it in a demonstration (blending oil [...]

I had no intentions of cooking last night. The husband was pissing me off. I had a long day at work. I have a messy house. A to-do list about as long as the yellow pages and I knew I was going to have to go to bed early just to wake up and start [...]

Believe me, I know, the title of this idea scares me too! First of all there's a vegetable in there not many of us are familiar with (kohlrabi) and then I'm mixing one of natures most amazing fruit (at least I think so), the watermelon with cheese. Not any cheese but FETA. Yeah.. my [...]

Oh My! I can not believe how many amazing ideas I'm getting from the The First Fabulous Friday Feta Giveaway! Just reading through them is SO inspiring! I combined a few of the comments to make a light tasty salad this morning. Coming off a weekend of insane fast food indulging this was the perfect [...]

I told you guys I rarely read recipes, right? It's funny but when I read them and actually find out what's in the dish I'm not as inspired to make it. Oh I'm an odd duck, I know. lol Anyway I saw this recipe or should I say picture of Kalyn's Carrot, Parsley, and [...]

I try a lot of different things in the kitchen, it's just in my nature to make stuff up. Normally I know if an idea will work or not but sometimes I just take a shot. This was one of those times. I didn't even bother to grab my camera during prep because I [...]

I made this up while home for the 4th of July Holiday weekend. I just wanted something quick and fresh using what I had on hand. I'm not quite sure why I only made a half it was so good I ended up immediately making another. I didn't think I'd like it [...]

I had two cute eggplants from the farm pickup last week and I thought to myself... "self.. I bet eggplant and feta would go REALLY good together. Especially with some tomato. Oh! and I have Basil!" So I googled "Feta Eggplant" and look at all the pretty pictures. Noticing that some recipes had chickpeas, I [...]

There's just something about the feta, spinach roasted pepper combination that I'm really enjoying. It's a trifecta of flavor with the fresh spinach, sweet pepper and salty, creamy cheese. Tonight I put is all on/in a burger. Just perfect on a hot summer day and boy is it HOT! We are breaking records here in [...]

Sometimes simple is simply DELICIOUS! I can't get over how much I enjoyed this salad! Normally I'm not a cheese mixed with fruit kind of gal, I'm not sure why. The sweet fruit and the salty, creamy feta did make a great combo! I also rarely buy salad dressing, but my attempts at recreating a [...]

I made these for dinner last night and I'm in HEAVEN! What an easy, light, tasty way to make dinner for one (the husband and child stuck with leftovers.) I used to make Skillet Veggies all the time and simple got out of the habit. Not sure why. It's so easy to make a base [...]

My first experiment is a smashing success! You know me and my addiction, if anything even resembles a pizza, I'm game. I thought for sure I'd miss the mozzarella on this but not a chance! This little baby was PACKED with flavor. The sweet tomato paste and peppers with the spices and creamy cheese. I [...]
