Italian Quinoa Salad

This could also be called the cleaning-out-the-fridge salad because that’s literally what I was doing the first time I made it. However, we knew it was a keeper when we went to the store the next day to buy the same ingredients for another batch.

Raspberry Macarons

Well, I finally did it. I broke down and made macarons. They have only been on my “to-do” list for more than ten years, ever since I visited Ladurée {Maison de Macarons in Paris}. These natural macarons with pink raspberry buttercream filling taste deliciously like raspberries and are the perfect bite-sized melt-in-your-mouth raspberry almond treat for Valentine’s Day or any other day.

Palmiers

You might recall that not too long ago I posted about the Pepperidge Farm “Puffection” Holiday Entertaining Challenge. Now for the second part of the challenge: my own “Puffection” creation using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Golden, caramelized sugar coats these puff pastry palmiers. Enjoy them plain, with cinnamon and sugar, or dipped in chocolate for a special holiday treat.

I chose these individual Chocolate Fondue Cups because they are festive and perfect for holiday (or anytime) entertaining.

Gyros Sliders

Gyro is a sandwich consisting of meat roasted on a vertical spit which is then shaved off in thin slices and wrapped in pita bread, topped with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. My gyro-inspired wraps are technically not gyros because the meat is not cooked in the traditional way. However, in my opinion, they taste pretty darn close to an actual gyro. And they are healthier to boot!

Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki sauce {also known as cucumber salad} can technically be served as a dip or a salad but for me, I have always known it as the sauce that makes gyros.
