    Fergasa Bread (Green Onion Cheddar Buttermilk Bread)

    Fergasa Bread is probably my ultimate favourite bread on the entire planet. I don't know if it is the cheddar and green onion combination. Or if it's the soft white bread, the butter-soaked crust, or the mixture of it all. What I do know is that when I would come across a loaf, I'd snatch it up like it was my long lost child. Then, I'd give everyone side-eye as I made my way to the checkout. As if every person I came in contact with might try and pry it from my grip. I know totally obsessive.

    Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs

    If you've been following along, you know I'm in love with my grill this summer. But did you know my favourite summer dish is Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs? We didn't grow up making shish kebabs, it just wasn't my parent's thing. My dad grills steak and burgers. I'm not sure a piece of chicken has ever graced his barbecue, I'm probably wrong, but I don't remember any grilled chicken in my childhood.

    Greek Pasta Salad

    I found this recipe for Greek Pasta Salad in a stack of old recipes I was gifted from my Grandma. When my grandmother moved into an assisted living home, my aunt, my uncle and my dad were tasked with selling her house. We were each asked if there was anything we'd like from grandma's home as a keepsake. I knew immediately, what my heart was set on. It was her handwritten recipe cards. And it is a gift I will forever treasure.

    Sweet Onion Vinaigrette

    So I came across some cranberry and Turkey wraps in the grocery store the other day. They looked amazing. I'll be sharing my copycat recipe in the next couple of weeks. But the kicker for me was that these wraps are served with a Vidalia onion vinaigrette. And I knew, it would be good. So, before I even set out to make the wraps, I whipped up my own version of a Sweet Onion Vinaigrette.

    French Onion & Pickle Dip (Two Ingredient)

    I'm literally sitting here eating this French Onion & Pickle Dip as I type and it keeps getting better and better. Each bite starts with the onion dip but then finishes with a tangy kick from the dill pickles. It's surprisingly eventful, is that a weird way to describe a dip? Probably, but you definitely don't expect that sour punch at the end. Paired with salty chips, this snack checks all the boxes.
