Pasta salad is just the best. Make it like mom did and call it macaroni salad. Fancy it up and call it farfalle salad. Or combine a well-known Italian salad (Caprese) into your pasta salad and make Tortellini Caprese Salad. The point is, pasta is so versatile that salad options truly are limited only by your imagination. Today, the Tastemakers are helping Sabra® celebrate National Hummus Day by sharing light, easy recipes using hummus, either for a snack or for your Unofficial Meal. ... continue reading...

Easy Delicious Hummus Toppings with Sabra
This post is sponsored by Sabra. Thank you, Sabra! Cooking with Hummus I really love being a Sabra Tastemaker. I really do. It's not just the free hummus (free hummus!!) but their campaigns push me to use hummus in ways that I may not have thought of before. Like that savory doughnut post--it would never have occurred to me, and they were delicious! Or maybe you'd prefer some Southern cornbread made with hummus and za'atar. Today's post is no different: we're talking The Unofficial ... continue reading...

Shortcut Vegan Lahmajoun | A Veganized Armenian Recipe
I'm honored to be working with Sabra® to promote National Hummus Day. Thank you for considering the brands I partner with and endorse. What Is Lahmajoun? Traditionally, lahmajoun is made using minced beef and/or lamb. The meat is then well spiced and spread on either homemade dough or tortillas (for a shortcut) and baked. Lahmajoun is usually then served with a simple salad of cilantro and onion with lemon on top. You then wrap or fold up the lahmajoun around the salad, eating ... continue reading...
Easy Italian Sausage Soup with Chickpeas and Spinach
Making Dinner with Pantry Staples Sometimes I look in our cabinets and fridge and can't find anything to eat. Not that there isn't anything to be had. It's just that sometimes I feel less than inspired. On those nights, I might just decide popcorn will work for dinner. Because it's whole grain and delicious. Other times, I will think of an ingredient I have tucked away in the freezer or the cupboard, and that sparks connections with other ingredients, and then a meal takes shape. ... continue reading...
Bologna and Cheese Sandwich | The Perfect Comfort Food Sandwich
This post was originally sponsored by Sabra. I received compensation both in product and monetarily. All opinions are my own. Remembering My Brother Greg As a kid, bologna and cheese was my brother's favorite sandwich. His birthday was June 19, and this year, he'd have been 52. Except he is perpetually 31 years old. In some ways, it feels like forever that my brother has been gone. And then I'll hear a song, or smell a scent or see something he'd have loved, and it feels like just ... continue reading...
Spicy Chicken Guacamole Sandwich or Sliders
Made this for a beach picnic and we all loved it!Reader Cheryl The Original Spicy Chicken Guacamole Sandwich I wish I could take credit for the original idea for this Sandwich, but alas I cannot. The Beloved and I ate at Mimi's Cafe, and along with a mimosa, I ordered their spicy chicken guacamole sandwich. It came on baguette, and it was perfect. The more I ate, the more I kept saying to The Beloved, "Dang, this is a good sandwich," and "Seriously, this thing is ... continue reading...
How to Pair Flavors: A Comprehensive Flavor Pairing Guide
The Question I have had this post on my mind for some time, now. Thanks to friend, neighbor and reader Roberta for asking: "How do you know what flavors will go together?" I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much the gist of it. I'd even broaden this to ask why do some flavors go so well together while others don't? I'm going to try to answer these huge questions in this Very Long Post. Here's what we'll be examining: the relationship between taste and flavorhow I pair ... continue reading...
Lemon Dill Cornmeal Donuts (or Cornmeal Muffins)
Savory Donuts We are all so programmed to think of donuts as sweet, fluffy confections covered in glaze and/or stuffed with cream or jam. I am here to make the case for savory donuts. Just as delicious as their sweet counterparts, savory donuts are right at home as part of a breakfast or even as the "bread" to go with your dinner. There are so many ways to make them. Once you open up your mind to the idea, the possibilities are endless. Savory donuts can also be made into muffins, so ... continue reading...
Hummus Pinwheels with Spinach and Feta | National Hummus Day
If you're anything like me, you usually serve your hummus pretty much straight from the fridge. Take a cue from those who know, though. Hummus is more flavorful when served at least at room temperature, if not warm or even hot. Give these hummus pinwheels a try, and you'll see what I mean.As a Sabra Tastemaker, I received both product and monetary compensation for developing this recipe and writing this post. Sabra's Customer Service is Excellent I am honored to be one of the Sabra ... continue reading...
