Phew, is it just me, or is there a lot going on in that recipe title?
I know, I might have gone a bit overboard, but all of the elements in the meal are so delicious, I wanted you to know about each individual one!
So, with so many elements, where should I start?

Oh man, I am such a fan of chia pudding! It’s such an easy make-ahead breakfast, and, most importantly, it keeps me full all morning. I already shared a recipe for traditional chia pudding, but now I wanted to share all of the different chia pudding flavors I make.
Chocolate Chia Pudding
If you’re someone who likes sweet breakfasts, this is a great option for you. And, believe it or not, because the chocolate flavor comes from cocoa powder, it’s actually not even “bad for you”, so you don’t need to have any guilt about eating it for breakfast. That being said, this makes a great dessert as well!

One of my favorite parts about a dinner party is the time right after the guests arrive. Your house is freshly cleaned, candles are lit, dinner is in the oven, and everyone has a fresh cocktail in hand. Your work is done, and you can just relax and spend time with your guests for a little it before serving dinner.
Dinner will soon be served, but you’ve prepared and have some appetizers out for everyone to enjoy. I like to have a few options of appetizers, with one being a healthier option, and this 7-layer greek hummus dip is my new go-to.

It’s Friday night! So that means, it’s time to visit a new place for my It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere series! This week is a place I’ve yet to go to in-person: New Orleans.
New Orleans has captivated me ever since the early 2010’s, when a group of girlfriends and I planned to visit New Orleans together. Thanks to a hurricane, our trip was stopped dead before it could even begin – our airbnb flooded, and our flights got cancelled. And worst of all, we never found time to reschedule!
So I do believe I’m approximately 10 years overdue for a trip to New Orleans.

This recipe has a few of my go-to’s in it: I use this tzatziki sauce a lot, whether it’s for pairing with a greek meat dish (like these chicken burgers), or as a dip for cucumbers and pita chips. I also make this cucumber side salad regularly, and it’s one of my favorite go-to salads to keep in the fridge.
Other than the great go-to accompaniaments, this Greek chicken burger is incredibly delicious. With fresh garlic, lemon juice, and even feta cheese in the patty, it’s packed with flavor. Then, when you serve it with a huge dollop of tzatziki and fresh red onions, it’s an absolute meal winner, for breakfast or for dinner.

I’ve been making Okonomiyaki for a long time. It’s my favorite Japanese dish to make at home, for sure. However, one thing I haven’t really gotten into yet is sake. My mother-in-law loves sake, so I’ve started trying it when I’m with her, and it’s really grown on me.
Some say that Nigori sake is a type of sake often known to be for sake newbies, because it’s on the sweet side, and quite mild. That also means that it tastes great in cocktails, since it mixes well. So I created my own version of a sake martini with nigori sake.

As we continue into episode 15 of my It’s Five o’clock Somewhere series, we’re heading to South America! I’ve never been to South America, but have always wanted to go. Peru has always been intriguing to me as a place to travel – with Machu Picchu, the Rainbow Mountains, and of course, The Amazon. Since I can’t travel there now, at least I can pretend to be there by eating and drinking things that originated in the country.

Christmas is a time for joy, for presents, for family, and of course, for EATING. I have to admit, out of all of the ways to celebrate the season, eating good food was at the top of my list. I was lucky enough to host my inlaws this Christmas, and I couldn’t resist planning a set of delicious meals for them while they were here. I’m sharing everything I cooked for Christmas in this blog post.
