Lamb Kofta

If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, lamb koftas are a great choice. I serve these with a yogurt sauce, tomato cucumber salad, pita, babaganoush and roasted veggies for a complete meal. For an even easier option, stuff your pita with yogurt sauce, hummus, or your favorite spread, add the koftas and top with tomato cucumber salads or just sliced tomatoes.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Lemon cookies are probably one of my favorite types. These crinkle cookies are quick and easy. Err on the side of under baking them to keep the center chewy. You can store them in an airtight container for a few days. One note on baking time, if using a dark baking sheet, your cookies will bake faster.

Cinnamon Pancakes with Maple Apple Topping

This recipe is an easy breakfast or brunch recipe that comes together with basic ingredients you may already have at home. It looks like more work than it really is. If serving more than 4, I would increase the recipe. This makes about 9 pancakes.

Shrimp Scampi over Pearled Couscous

If you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner that requires little effort but packs a lot of flavor, this is it. It's like a traditional shrimp scampi, but I love that the couscous soaks up the sauce and becomes just as flavorsome. Serve with a salad and warm crusty bread.

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

These glazed carrots were a new addition to my family's Thanksgiving this year, and they have now become something I make regularly. They're easy, but a total crowd pleaser. Carrots are a very simple side dish, but adding the brown sugar brings out their natural sweetness and enhances the flavor.
