Black Eyed Pea Hummus with Pimiento Relish
I've been making this black-eyed pea hummus every New Year's Eve for the last 3 years and it's always a hit. An ideal way to get those black eyed peas in (which you must!!) and doubles as a great healthy option to keep snacking on in the week ahead! I hope it brings you and yours all the luck this coming year!
Bahn Mi Inspired Meatballs with Sriracha Drizzle + Sesame Slaw
Vietnamese food is just always a treat in my book, particularly Bahn Mi sandwiches and my absolute favorite place of all time for Bahn Mi is Nammi located in the Dallas Farmer's Market. They make an INCREDIBLE Bahn Mi that inspired me to make my own spin that is meal prep friendly and delicious! I hope you enjoy!
Greek Inspired Lamb Meatballs + Garlic Yogurt Sauce
I don't know HOW this recipe slipped through the cracks! My Greek Inspired Lamb Meatballs + Garlic Yogurt Sauce is one of my most requested recipes and I am finally adding the recipe to the blog!! I love these meatballs because they are herby, flavorful and delicious with tangy, creamy yogurt sauce. Makes for an awesome app for your next dinner party or with lettuce cups, couscous or basmati for a weeknight dinner. Either way, you can't go wrong!
Whipped Basil Ricotta + Grilled Bread
I love a good snack opportunity and I have to say this one really hits the spot! Crispy, garlicky bread paired with creamy basil ricotta dip is a match made in heaven and SO easy to throw together, not to mention a great way to use that fresh garden basil!
The GEM Inspired Jalapeno Pesto Hummus
The GEM in Dallas is one of my go-tos when I need a healthy pick up. They have this incredible jalapeno pesto hummus that immediately got my wheels turning and I knew I had to figure out how to recreate it! And here we are: with a super meal prep friendly, clean and delicious snack to add to your repertoire.
