Yve Eats: Avocado Corn Salad + Baked Churros

Join us as we progress in our cooking chronicles (that would've been a nice name for this series of blog posts) and venture away from the continent of Europe and take something a little closer to home. Mikaela and I decided on Mexico as our theme country for this meal and we included the caveat of having minimal cheese. The biggest challenge was finding a recipe we could make on short notice that fulfilled our requirements but no challenge is impossible.

Yve Eats: Spanakopita + Greek Orzo Lemon Chicken Soup

I'm starting to get the hang of working in the kitchen (rather than just dealing with dishes and scouring the fridge for a snack) and I thought it'd be a good idea to tackle two recipes at once. It ended up being a lot of running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I can't say it wasn't worth it, though. It's safe to say I'd do anything for Greek/Mediterranean food and doing laps around the kitchen wielding a knife and/or a carrot is one of the milder of those anythings.

Yve Eats: Turkey Pesto Lasagna

Immediately after the first round of ratatouille, my mom put in a request for lasagna. She really wasted no time. It certainly made my and Mikaela's job easier when it came to deciding what to make next. I set out to find a good recipe aka looking up a bunch of different recipes and taking bits and pieces from each one to build the ultimate lasagna. It's not as easy as it sounds since everybody seems to have their own "best" and "most delicious" way of making it. It took a lot of cross-referencing, but I'm quite satisfied with the results and everybody who has gotten a taste seems to agree.

Yve Eats: Ratatouille

I'm a fan of Disney and Pixar but that's not news. I mean, who isn't? While that's pretty much common knowledge, something you might not know is that there are two Pixar movies tied at number one for my favorite. I managed to combine both of them into one delicious dinner that was pretty much made for summer. This meal has been a long time coming and I've already made it again after my first go at it! I know you've been wanting to try this dish as much as I have so let's get to it!
