Watermelon Ice Pops

Serves

For an easy, refreshing treat, simply insert a stick in a small block of watermelon and freeze. Servings vary

Watermelon Salsa

Serves approximately 4 cups

Peppers and onions spice up refreshing watermelon for a sassy summer salsa.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Serves 4

Copious amounts of breadcrumbs are traditionally called for in this appetizer favorite, but I don’t use them all in this version. It actually ends up with a more moist filling because of it and allows the bite of the Pecorino to really shine.

Coconut Rice Pudding

Serves 4

This is one of my favorite desserts. Some days, when I’m in the mood, it’s breakfast. I often serve this to friends for dessert to drive home the point that gluten- and dairy-free eating can be delicious. You can use any rice, but my favorite is arborio, the kind used in making risotto. It makes a much creamier pudding. The coconut milk adds such a wonderful flavor that I don’t use sugar. I’ve added a small optional amount to the recipe.

Herb Chicken Kebabs with Chimichurri

Serves 4-6 as a snack

A yogurt herb marinade gives grilled chicken a Greek flair, while chimichurri sauce boosts the flavor. Serve on top of pitas.

Olive Cream Cheese Spread

Serves 4

This bottom-of-the-jar (of olives or olive tapenade!) is a great use-up for the last of your cream cheese for a crostini appetizer or snack.

Pesto Cream Cheese Spread

Serves 4

This bottom-of-the-jar (of pesto!) is a great use-up for the last of your cream cheese as well for this crostini appetizer or snack.

Greek Meatballs and Toasted Orzo

Make ’em healthier and tastier when you bake these Greek meatballs with orzo and feta.
