YUMMY dinner!

Hi friends out there in blogworld... Colin and I have just been freewheeling through life these past few months. I think constantly about updating more frequently, but the thought of sitting down at the computer and typing something out is, well, not always that exciting. So apologies for that.

We made the most delicious dinner this week, and I told some people I would share the recipes. Here they are!

Cheesy Quinoa Bites
This recipe makes a TON, so I would suggest halving it if you're only making it for two people!

Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken
This is by far the best Greek salad I have ever made... It rivals quite a few of the ones I've had in restaurants, too!
