Couscous Salad with Mixed Beans, Feta Cheese and Olives - via Green Lentil

I really need to start eating better. The trouble is, a lot of healthy food just doesn't sounds good to me, most of the time. This Couscous Salad on the other hand, sounds like something I could without hesitation. Maybe it's the fact that the salad in the picture is smothered in feta, a small weakness of mine. Either way, I am going to be eating this!

Our recipe for couscous salad with mixed beans, feta cheese and olives is now on the blog, https://t.co/ULuM5OPWoY #recipe #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #foodlover #foodblog #foodblogger #vegetarian #delicious #yum #hungry #lunch pic.twitter.com/bomxRUm1u2

Tomahawk Steak - Reverse Sear - via Shakey Eats

Look, if you haven't tried out the reverse sear method for grilling steaks, you need to stop waiting on get right to it. I was hesitant at first. Steaks are expensive, and I really didn't want to through money away with an unfamiliar cooking method. As long you as you a decent grasp of grilling meat or cooking them in a pan over the stove top, it's hard to mess this up. It's all about indirect heat anyway. Shakey Eats even gives it an added shot of butter if you needed any extra coaxing!

This is cool. I've been a fan of these guys for as long as I can remember. Opening their new location was a big deal back in 2009, and they have continued to grow it. Now, with another expansion with a beer garden right next door, this is just another reason beer travelers and tourists to stop by and check out the brewery!

Greek Pasta Salad with Chicken

Greek Pasta Salad with Chicken

Some nights we just don't feel like cooking. Every week, we try to add at least one meal that requires almost no prep. We can just come home and put it together, so we can relax and enjoy the rest of our evening together. This week, we made Greek Pasta Salad.





Here's what you'll need:

• Chicken - cooked 
• Olive mix
• Pasta
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Cucumber - Quartered and Chopped
• 1 Recipe Greek Salad Dressing

We grilled some boneless chicken breasts this time,
but it will make this even easier if you use a grocery
store rotisserie chicken.

To make this recipe even easier, there is no measuring involved. A box of pasta, however much chicken we have in the fridge, it doesn't matter how much or how little of each ingredient goes in. I'm a bit of an olive junkie, so I do go heavy on the olives. We like to use the olive mix from the store that comes with feta cheese so we don't have to buy an extra ingredient. Mix everything together in a bowl. Add salad dressing to taste. This week we added some avocado to mix it up a little.
