Greek 'Salsa'

October 5, 2025 Amanda Plott

Let’s toss the word salsa into the Mediterranean blender and see what dances out—Greek salsa! No, it's not about salsa dancing with a side of feta cheese, though that sounds like a party waiting to happen. We're talking about a vibrant, tangy, fresh side that takes the fiery heart of traditional salsa and marries it with the crisp, herbaceous soul of Greek cuisine. It’s like the culinary equivalent of a feta cheese and tomato love story with a lemony, zucchini-filled happy ending.

What Is Greek ‘Salsa’ Anyway?

The idea of Greek salsa isn't ancient or tradition-locked, but it’s an inspired mash-up that combines the bright, fresh ingredients of a Greek salad with the easy, chunky, spoon-it-on-anything attitude of salsa. Imagine the classic salsa components—tomatoes, onions, maybe peppers—getting a Mediterranean makeover with zucchini, kalamata olives, tangy feta, fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Bam! A saucy, chunky dip that’s guilt-free, fresh, and totally crave-worthy…

Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll

October 1, 2025 Amanda Plott

The very first time that I had a pumpkin cream cheese roll, it was sometime in high school when my mom and I had purchased one from a local lady that made them from scratch around the holidays to sell for a little bonus side money.

It was one of the best things that I had ever eaten.

After that, I decided to try my hand at making one the following year. While it turned out well and was quickly gobbled up by my family (especially my little brother.) The task seemed daunting to me; mostly because I was so new to cooking and baking back then...

Zucchini with Burrata & Chili Crisp

September 27, 2025 Amanda Plott

Say hello to your new favorite slide—Zucchini with Burrata & Chili Crisp. It’s like your standard side just got a glow-up worthy of a Michelin star, but with zero guilt and all the yum.

Why This Recipe Rocks

Zucchini is the unsung hero of the veggie world: low-cal, vitamin-packed, and endlessly versatile. Grilling it brings out this smoky, tender magic that will have you second-guessing your burger bun choice. Then, enter burrata—a creamy, dreamy cheese that’s basically mozzarella’s fancy cousin who lives for indulgence. Finally, we drizzle on chili crisp, that fiery, crunchy condiment that adds just the right punch of heat balanced by a little crunch. It’s a knockout combo that’s light, fresh, but totally satisfying…
