Harissa Chicken Meatballs

These baked harissa meatballs are a flavorful twist on a classic dish. My favorite ways to serve these are as an appetizer with a lemon yogurt dipping sauce, or in a quinoa or couscous bowl with roasted veggies.

Spumoni Chocolate Chip Cookies

Spumoni Chocolate Chip Cookies

This spumoni chocolate chip cookie recipe is an Italian-inspired twist on an American tradition. My family loves spumoni ice cream, so I decided to alter my chocolate chip recipe to fancy them up. In this creation, cherries and pistachios liven up already delicious chocolate chip cookies.

Lamb Börek

Lamb Börek

For this lamb börek recipe, if you get your hands on the right ingredients — including about 12 good sheets of phyllo pastry — you'll find this savory pastry way easier to make than it appears. It's all thanks to an intentionally soggy dough. That's right! Lightly moisturizing phyllo with an egg, yogurt, and butter wash produces flexible, flavorful, and externally crisp layers upon baking.

Healthy Chicken Salad

Healthy Chicken Salad

This healthy chicken salad recipe is made with a mixture of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese instead of regular mayonnaise, resulting in a healthier version that's still creamy and delicious but higher in protein. Apples and dried cranberries add a sweet-tart flavor, while chopped pecans provide textural interest in every bite. Serve it on crackers, on a croissant, in a pita, or grab a fork and just dig in!
