Unique Meat, Grain, Cheese and Vegetable Dinner: Pesto Pearled Couscous, Served with a Variety of Baked Vegetables, Topped with Fried Halloumi Cheese and Crisped Prosciutto Slices
I am ALL ABOUT creating restaurant-worthy meals at home. Yes, it is definitely super nice to go out to eat (don’t get me wrong).

Fun fact: this was the FIRST recipe I was going to post on my cooking website (2+ years ago when I had decided I wanted to have my own website for sharing recipes). I had the post uploaded and everything, but the website set to private. However, I decided at that point in time that…

Homemade “Store-Bought” French Onion Dip: Made with Fresh Onions & Garlic, Skyr and a Variety of Seasonings
This was a labor of love.

French Onion Dip) I used to LOVE before I started actually paying attention to food labels and…
