Greek Style Dolmades & Tzatziki

Dolmades can be found in cuisines all over the Middle East, but my favorite style is found in Greek cuisine. Stuffed with short grain rice, herbs, onion, garlic and of course, yummy lamb. Paired with my homemade tzatziki, this is one fresh plate! Dolmades is often a serious craving for me, and with so many local Mediterranean spots in my area, I usually just pop out for a bite when I want some. Tonight, I am making them on my own because I like to push myself out of my comfort zone, and I hope you will too! Serve warm and fresh after cooking or nicely chilled the next day; these stuffed grape leaves are truly a delicious labor of love. This is a great recipe for feeding a large party!

Summer Veggie Medley Risotto

Risotto is one of my favorite dishes to make, and I usually always have it on my Holiday menu; but today I thought to myself, why not make a summer-y version? This is one of those dishes that can be a little intimidating to make, because you have to constantly pay attention to it for 30 minutes while cooking through every step, but it is oh-so-worth it when it’s ready! Cheesy, decadent and perfectly paired with any type of protein, enjoy it on the patio this weekend with a glass of crisp white wine!
