Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)
I learned how to make this while visiting my husband's family in Syria. It can be a healthy, fast, easy vegetarian/vegan main dish for lunch or dinner that is surprisingly filling when eaten with pita bread, or it can be a flavorful side dish.
Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Quinoa
This blueberry lemon breakfast quinoa recipe pairs sweet blueberries and tart lemon as an alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa makes an excellent start to your day! I made this one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top it with extra milk for a thinner consistency. It's also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
