This whipped feta with honey is deliciously simple and is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The feta gives it a salty tang, the lemon gives it zing, and the hot honey balances it all out with a sweet kick!
Summertime Caprese Salad
We have been having so much fun in our backyard on the weekends, and Matt and I have been hosting little date nights on the porch after the kids go to bed. Last weekend we grilled steaks and broccolini for dinner, but the summery appetizer is what stole the show for me—caprese salad!

Greek Yogurt Spinach Artichoke Dip
Creamy, flavorful, and cheesy, this Greek yogurt spinach artichoke dip is always a crowd-pleaser! While lighter than traditional spinach artichoke dip, this healthier version is just as mouthwateringly delicious. Made with Greek yogurt, this baked spinach artichoke dip has a boost in protein. Serve warm with your favorite bread or chips, and watch this appetizer disappear quickly.
Marinated White Bean Dip
For the Ohio State game a few weekends ago, I made Natalie’s Marinated White Bean Dip and it was SO good. I slightly adapted the recipe for Matt by using vegan feta cheese and added some fresh diced tomatoes too. Everyone LOVED this dip and crushed the entire bowl.

Chicken Salad Recipes
Here’s the chicken salad recipe I made last week that Matt claimed was “the best chicken salad” he’s ever had. I mean, it was super delicious, but the best chicken salad definitely comes from Mayobird.
Avocado Chicken Salad
I recently pulled one of my favorite recipes from my archives chicken salad. I love how versatile this salad is. You can top a bed of arugula with a scoop of this delicious salad, wrap it up, or eat it straight from the bowl.
