Move over, Olive Garden. This creamy spinach and mushroom Gnocchi Soup is about to put you out of business ;) It’s so buttery and flavorful I don’t even know where to start. This recipe was originally a vegan recipe of mine that I adapted with some chicken and regular cream or milk!

These Honey Glazed Salmon Meatball bowls? Straight-up chef’s kiss. Fresh, easy, and ridiculously delicious—this is my go-to for a healthy, complete meal that’s also super chill to make. Perfect for a laid-back Sunday vibe, plus they’re great for meal prep and stay fresh for days if stored properly. 💯

I used @bcsalmonfarmers responsibly raised in British Columbia in these Rice Bowls, and it’s delicious, packed with flavor and juiciness! BC Salmon Farmers are an essential part of Canadian agriculture and food security, raising salmon responsibly to help feed communities across the country. Their farm-raised salmon is a high-quality protein and is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and essential nutrients that support heart health and brain function.

#BCSalmonFarmersPartner Check out @bcsalmonfarmers to learn more about BC farm-raised salmon!

Pro tip: Make the salsa ahead of time! Trust me, it’s a game-changer. Everything else? Flawless on rice, in a salad, or tucked into a wrap. Seriously – carbs, protein, fats, AND fiber in one bowl. You just got the ultimate meal, and so does your fam! 🙌

Arayes are a meat-stuffed pita that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. They are usually stuffed with minced meat like beef or lamb, along with a combination of aromatic seasonings and spices. Think of them as a better, Middle Eastern version of a pizza pocket. These are so tasty and your whole family will love them (even the picky eaters).

When @thegoldenbalance shared these months ago, I tried them with beef and they were phenomenal. You all agreed! So we’re bring it back for round 2, but this time with a non-traditional chicken and feta filling.

Arayes are a classic Lebanese & Syrian street food. (There’s also an Egyptian version called Hawawshi.)

They’re incredible easy to make, perfect for a quick dinner and a party friendly!

When you think of Greek food you probably think of the delicious Greek Chicken Gyros. Vendors line the streets in all the Greek cities with their vertical rotisserie of meat (either pork or chicken) ready to make you the most life-changing wrap you’ll ever find. You’ll usually find these served with fresh tomatoes, onions, fries, and tzatziki. This type of Greek food defined and carved my childhood - I hope you enjoy!
