Ahh – so the general consensus is that winter needs to take a hike!
I’ve been doing my best, in my eats, to trick myself into thinking warm thoughts.
Hence – loads of green!!
Baby Dill – ahhh, reminds me of grass (in appearance)…which makes me long for bringing a blanket to the Common and just chillin’ in the sunshiiiiine with iced coffee, friends and a magazine or book!
Lately, I’ve been playing around with wheat berries! Love them – a whole grain…so good for you…and so filling!! Yes, they do take a while to make (an hour or so…), but who said the best things are quick? Though this isn’t a quick cook, it is an easy “set it and forget it” (but don’t actually forget it and burn your house down) grain.
I love their chewy texture, and it’s quickly become an obsession.
Another obsession of mine, as of late? Tzatziki sauce. I just love the huge garlic flavor of it (or at least the Cedar’s version I get!).
What’s a girl to do?? Combine them of course…along with some extra herbage.
A creamy, garlicy, herby, chewy dream. I originally planned on serving this over spinach leaves…buuuut I got too excited; next time, next time.
This will definitely be a weekday/night staple…especially when you make the wheat berries in advance and then it’s just about assembling!
Plus, it keeps me from eating an entire tub of tzatziki and crackers in one sitting….
I have a problem. hah.
- What’re your weekday/night go-to meals?
Mmm, I also have a slight obsesh with tzatziki. I totally want a gyro now!
Sooo obsessed with it – problem. haha
Go-to weekday meal has to be a brown rice and veggie bowl. Done and done in 5 minutes. You can’t be that!
Yes – so true! Brown rice is a lifesaver for me.
Stir fry is always a safe bet for me…easy, can use what’s on hand, and cooks up quickly.
Where do you get the tzatziki?
I get the tzatziki near the hummus – usually near the spinach dip stuff. Sometimes they don’t have it though – the brands I’ve gotten are Joseph’s and Cedar’s both are delish.
What’s exactly is Tzatziki? Is is like salsa?
I love breakfast for dinner!

It’s a yogurt dip essentially. It’s plain greek yogurt, dill, garlic and cucumber (among probably other things). Soo refreshing and good.
So I’ve been baking chickpeas in the oven with salsa, nutritional yeast and spices (for about 10ish minutes)…then throwing the mixture into a warmed pita with hummus lately! Perfection. So good!
Ohh that sounds awesome!!
This is SO pretty and I’ll bet it is absolutely delicious!
So yummy! and easy!
