I love Greek salad – cool cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, crisp peppers, tangy olives, sour red onion, salty capers . . . how it possibly be improved? PAN FRIED FETA. Greek salad with pan fried feta is the only way to take an amazing salad – and make it even better (without sacrificing healthy!).

This pasta with basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella is quick, low calorie, healthy, and my favorite meal in the world.
I love eating crispy mushroom tacos with our family. One night I accidentally made a delicious crispy mushroom salad, complete with turmeric yogurt, feta, corn and caramelized onions, and cilantro.
