Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and Spinach
Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and Spinach recipe Cooking Light, April 2007 Yum. These were...YUM! We didn't broil them. We pan fried them. Every time we use the broiler, the fire alarm goes off, so I try not to use it all that much. The filling was very tasty and lemony. I liked it!! I couldn't, however, taste much of the sun dried tomatoes. I may try to reconstitute them next time we make these. I'm sure we will make these again as they were supah easy and very good. Measuring cups and … [Read more...]
Baked Shrimp with Feta
Baked Shrimp with Feta recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 This was REALLY good and REALLY easy to make!! I didn't have white wine, so I just used the clam juice instead. It made it a little more juicy, but I let it simmer a little longer so it wasn't so watery. However, if you're serving it over pasta, then you may want to keep the juice. The only thing I would do, is to add fresh oregano instead of dried. I couldn't really taste the oregano in the dish. This is on the list to make again!! We … [Read more...]
Greek Salad with Feta and Olives
Greek Salad with Feta and Olives recipe Cooking Light, April 1996 I didn't add the lettuce or the escarole. C'est la vie! I wanted the salad to marinate a bit before we ate it and the lettuce would have just wilted. Besides, I wanted to be able to take left overs for lunch. I have a hard time paying $4 for a jar of kalamata olives, so I used jumbo California black olives. It probably would have been better with the kalamata, but we didn't go to the Shoppers that had the olive bar. I didn't use … [Read more...]
Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce
Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce recipe Cooking Light, March 2003 Since I couldn't find the skewers, we didn't make kabobs with the chicken and zucchini. We just grilled the breasts normally. Usually, when there's lemon in the marinade, I don't usually taste it. For some reason this time I could taste the lemon, but not the oregano. Next time I think I'll add more oregano to the marinade. This was really good!! It could have used some pita bread or other flat bread to round out the meal. … [Read more...]
Greek-Style Scampi
Greek-Style Scampi Cooking Light, March 2008 This was sooo good, we made it again yesterday for dinner. I used two cans of tomatoes and drained both, which I wouldn't do next time. Drain 1 can so there's juice for the pasta to soak up. Or you could add a bit of the pasta water to the pan. Measuring cups and spoons Mini Cuisinart (for the garlic) Can opener Saucepan for the pasta Strainer Large nonstick skillet … [Read more...]
