Greek Taco from The Food Network

Jeff Mauro really captures all the classic gyro flavors in this simplified Greek pita "taco." We added a little extra spice by making a harissa hot sauce to go with it. read more >

Baked Kale Chips

These are amazing. Super easy, super tasty, and my new favorite way to eat kale.

Broccoli Slaw

Not one of my favorite dishes. The recipe was easy to follow and I really wanted to like this, but I'm not enough of a broccoli fan. If, however, you love broccoli in its raw form, I highly recommend trying this as you will probably enjoy it more than I did.

It was definitely a soup night last night and Smitten Kitchen's Cream of Tomato Soup and Classic Grilled Cheese were perfect for the evening! Classic comfort food at its best. The soup was a little time consuming in terms of seeding the tomatoes, but all of the ingredients were things I readily had on hand, so not having to hit the grocery store was a bonus. It took about an hour to get together from start of prep to finish. I can see how the soup would be easily adaptable as well -- might add some fresh herbs next time, or a pesto swirl just to change it up a bit.

As an appetizer this is a recipe that's quick to put together from ingredients that are usually on hand. The flavor was amazing -- we served the creamed mushroom portion with toast on the side and let people put them together themselves so that the bread didn't get mushy. It was tasty straight out of the pan as well as at room temperature.

Melon Agua Fresca

This was a strange drink. They were a bit time consuming to put together and in the end it was like drinking a piece of cantaloupe. Not a bad thing since that's what it was supposed to be, but personally I think I'd rather eat the cantaloupe than drink it.

I've been trying to add different sides and salads to our meals and came across this one after purchasing an abundance of peppers at our local farmers market. The capers add the perfect tang to the dish. An excellent and easy salad option.

Simplest Apple Tart

This really is the simplest apple tart ever! And it tastes so good.

Spicy Caramel Popcorn

Caramel corn. Yum! This is like Cracker Jack with a kick. I used bagged microwave popcorn and had no trouble following Smitten Kitchen's instructions for this recipe. On a scale of one to ten I'd put ease somewhere in the middle because it is a mess to put together.

We bought a ton of tomatoes from our local farmers markets and this recipe was one of two fabulous tomato recipes we tried. Simple to put together and so tasty!

Walnut Pesto Crostini

These crostini are truly wonderful and completely addictive! Couldn't be simpler either. I used a fresh, homebaked loaf of bread and all of the actual pesto ingredients go right in the food processor.

I thought this soup was ok. The croutons turned out very good, but the soup could have used a bit more flavor.
