I really appreciate my neighborhood. I love that it’s residential with lots of trees, parks and trails nearby. I enjoy the fact that we have a library and shopping center across the street. And I particularly like that the shopping center includes a grocery store.
One of the greatest purchases that I can make in said grocery store is in the produce section. There is a bulk bin of salad greens and baby spinach. I love that I can purchase the perfect amount of flavorful greens for a salad. I don’t always manage to eat a whole head of lettuce before it goes bad, so this is the perfect solution for me.
Recently, I have been on a couscous kick. In salads, I find it particularly delicious to have warm couscous on a bed of cool baby greens. Add in some carrots, peppers, and tomatoes… you’ve got yourself a fantastic salad!
Doesn’t this just scream summer? So refreshing and comforting at the same time. The couscous is garlic and olive oil flavored, so I sprinkled a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper over the lettuce for a cohesive flavor.
Happy Friday, everyone!

Chicken+Olives+Couscous+Falafels=Greek Goodness.
What’s better than going Greek? Having Greek with great friends! Another movie night combined the two perfectly. Our concoction was delicious!
It’s always fun just putting ingredients together and testing to see if they work together. This was one of those times that it definitely worked! Imagine a Greek taco. We put the chicken, olives, feta cheese and lettuce on a pita. On the side: falafel and couscous. Fantastic!
The movie: ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ is always fun to watch. It’s so fun to see which parts you relate to the most, which bits make you cringe, which spots make you glad that you have your own family, and the parts that make you wish you were Greek. Such a fun, sweet movie that’s fun every time you watch it!
