It has been a long time since we've done anything with the Mediterranean flavors we love so much— Kalamata olives, feta, tzatziki and the like. Dustin whipped up a quick tzatziki sauce with greek yogurt, cucumber, and lemon juice early in the day to let the flavors meld (definitely some of the best tzatziki we've had outside of a restaurant),...

I came up with this on a whim, and I completely miscommunicated my intentions to Erin. I think she expected a lamb shank with a sublet humus dressing, but instead she essentially got pita chip nachos. Now, I would consider her lucky because who doesn't want to be eating pita chip nachos? Our weekly trip to the farmer's market significantly...

Consider yourself lucky. You were alive for a Hanukkah + Thanksgiving day! It won't happen again for almost 80,000 years. And to celebrate this once in in a lifetime day, we cooked up to-die-for latke burgers. Unfortunately, for the orthodox, this won't be allowed, but if you like gooey cheese on your hamburger sandwiched between two...

Delicious way to use up leftover Indian take out? Indian burgers using the delicious sauces from your favorite Indian restaurant. For us, that's India Gate's tikka masala and raita. We doused our garam masala-coated lamb burgers in both of these sauces, and piled it on top of grilled Macrina buns with some sliced white onion. It was a...

Want to impress your friends with a fancy, restaurant-like dinner? This is the meal for you! Red wine and mint lamb chops with a savory corn creme brûlée on the side. All you have to do is marinate lamb chops, bone in for ultimate juiciness in an easy delicious marinade of equal parts red wine and soy sauce (I used 3/4 cup of each) with a...

Moussaka, where have you been all of my life? I'm not sure I had ever even heard of it until one day, Dustin ordered it while dining out in Seattle. It was the restaurant's daily special, and the description on the board sounded delish, so he ordered it. I think I ate just as much of his meal as mine. What a nice boy for sharing! I vowed that I...

After the success of our Mozzarella Stuffed Meatball Sliders, we wanted to stuff more cheese into meatballs. We decided feta in lamb meatballs was the perfect combination. We used the same basic recipe used for the meatballs in the sliders, just switching feta for mozzarella and ground lamb for beef. These meatballs weren't quite as exciting...

I think the only way Dustin and I will eat cucumber is when it its made into tzatziki sauce. I've tried cucumber multiple times in other ways, and no matter what, I can't stand it. But when cucumber is mixed into Greek yogurt with some garlic, drenching a gyros sandwich, we love it. Funny how flavors blend, turning something you hate into...
