Simple Greek Quinoa Bowl

August 7, 2018 Amanda Plott
greek-bowl4.jpg

I'm leeeaving on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again...

Okay, not really. But. I am leaving on a jet plane this coming Sunday for nice little vacation. But... before all of that - I've got to get through the week of chaos that is in full swing. We're talking shopping, packing, laundry, lists, chores, instructions, and so on.

As excited as I am, and as much as I have to do, I thought I would keep this week pretty simple with some rather minimal recipes.  I don't want to have a bunch of leftover madness going on in my fridge while I'm away. So! That's where this super simple Greek Quinoa Bowl comes in…

Spinach & Artichoke Mediterranean Burgers (Lettuce Wrapped)

June 28, 2018 Amanda Plott

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Reese Specialty Foods. As always, all opinions are entirely my own.

Just about everyone enjoys a good burger. Especially during the summertime when grilling season is in full swing! I don't know about you, but I always like to play around with burger flavors. I guess that started some years back now when I was in high school and my parents started buying these 'fully loaded' burgers from a local grocery chain. They were always delicious but super expensive! I knew even then how easy they would be to make ourselves at home, and how much cheaper and better they would be too!

Now, I'll be honest in saying that, originally, I was just going to shoot for a spinach and artichoke burger. But I figured, why stop there? We're going way outside the box here! So, I ended up making these Spinach & Artichoke Mediterranean Burgers which really couldn't be any more fully loaded…

Loaded Hummus

April 29, 2018 Amanda Plott

Let's talk apps. No, not phone apps... edible apps. Appetizers! Sometimes, I have those days where I don't want to end it with a big huge meal. And today is one of those days. After spending almost all of yesterday wading around in the heat out at Pease Park here in Austin for Eeyore's Birthday, I just don't feel much like indulging in full on meals today.

So, a selection of cool and fresh snack bites sounds PERFECT. With hummus being one of my favorite snacks, I thought it would be the perfect time to make this Loaded Hummus; filling enough to be a light meal and light enough not to weigh me down…

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

With the schedule around my house changing up a bit recently, I've had to make some adjustments to when and how I cook. So, I've been cooking a lot less and mostly just for myself since my little one is still a rather picky eater and lately dinner time is our mommy-daughter time.

That being said, dinner time for me has included quicker, easier dishes that are either meal prepped or a one and done toss together sort of salad. Most recently I've had a stockpile of leftover feta in my fridge that needed to be used up, which for me always means it's time for a Greek/Mediterranean style salad!...

Mediterranean Quinoa Bowls

March 23, 2017 Amanda Plott

I've been on a mediterranean kick lately. Can you tell with my Mediterranean Toast and now this Quinoa Bowl? I have always been a fan of Mediterranean and Greek inspired dishes. I think it's the mix of savory, salty, and the bright bold flavors that go along with it. This bowl starts out with a simple cooked quinoa on the bottom and goes from there. It's light enough to enjoy as a simple dinner and yet hearty enough to have as a filling lunch.

For this bowl, I kept it traditional with fresh tomatoes, zucchini and lemon. To get some salt in there I added greek olives, feta, and of course those artichoke hearts. The avocado is there for some smooth creamy healthy fats that you can use along with the lemon juice as a dip/spread/dressing for everything else. And... who doesn't love avocado anyway?...
