Monday: Mediterranean White Chicken Chili
This Mediterranean White Chicken Chili is creamy, hearty and comforting, with tender shredded chicken, white beans, corn, and just the right amount of heat. A little cream cheese gives the broth richness, while lemon, fresh cilantro, feta and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil brighten everything up.
This Creamy Orecchiette with Sausage, Broccolini and White Beans is hearty, comforting and packed with flavor. Italian sausage, tender broccolini and creamy cannellini beans come together in a silky Parmesan cream sauce, with lemon and chili flakes adding just the right amount of brightness and heat. And it’s ready in under 40 minutes!
Qidreh (also pronounced Idreh) is a Palestinian Spiced Lamb and Rice Recipe that is hearty, comforting, and filling. It does take some time to prepare, but the work and cooking time is well worth it. Prepare it on a weekend or for a special occasion.
This easy Fasolada (Greek White Bean Soup) is hearty, comforting and packed with simple Mediterranean flavors. White beans are simmered with onion, carrots, celery, tomato paste and herbs until the broth is rich and flavorful, then finished with lemon, parsley and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
This Pasta alla Vodka with Cherry Tomatoes and Shrimp is rich, creamy, a little spicy and seriously satisfying. Tender shrimp are served over pasta coated in a silky tomato vodka sauce made with Calabrian chili paste, heavy cream, Parmesan and butter. Ready in under 45 minutes.
This Greek-Style Butter Bean Salad has it all! Tangy feta, crunchy veggies, creamy butter beans in a lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. Perfect as a light lunch, a side or an appetizer. And best of all, it comes together in 20 minutes!
A small-batch version of my very popular overnight no-knead focaccia recipe. This recipe does take some time to prepare (mostly hands-off) but the final baked focaccia in a jumbo muffin tin will be worth the wait. The base recipe needs just 5 ingredients that you probably have in your pantry right now!
If you love classic tiramisu but want something a little sunnier and brighter, this Limoncello Tiramisu is it. It’s creamy, light, and layered with lemony goodness in every bite. It's basically an Italian dessert meets lemon meringue pie without ever turning on the oven. No added eggs, no bake and it uses jarred lemon curd.
