Authentic Kicked-Up Syrian Hummus
This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch by adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago, and she said it was incredible — that was my Oscar moment! Even people who don't like hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!
Stir Fried Kale
A great way to use up some of the extra kale you might have in your garden! You can use other similar greens in this recipe - spinach, mustard greens, and arugula will all work. A mixture of greens is also quite good. Serve as a salad, as a side dish, or as a main dish with rice.
Marinated Mozzarella Balls
Marinated mozzarella balls take advantage of the fact that mozzarella balls are creamy, and somewhat neutral flavored. They're just waiting for a zingy herb-packed marinade to turn them into one of the easiest and tastiest appetizers ever.
