Thanks swbrigadoon & emejay. Pho seems super ambitious to me - but I'll add it to the list to try!!

goldpolkadot here's the Orzo Greek Salad recipe! I make up measurements when I cook so I don't have any measurements. Sorry!
Place cooked, cooled orzo into large bowl with chopped cucumber, tomatoes, 1 can garbanzo beans rinsed & drained, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Toss with dressing (whisk olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt & pepper).
YUM!!!!!

stuntmanmillie thank you!! That sounds delish! Super similar to the Greek salad we make - but I love orzo.

goldpolkadot Unless we are feeling super ambitious we do a major cheat recipe and do not make the broth. It's not exactly the same, but it's really tasty and so fast and easy to make. We buy the Pacific brand beef pho broth then add thin rice noodles and thinly sliced beef (freeze it a little first so you can cut it really thin). Once those are cooked and you are ready to serve add Thai basil, cilantro, thinly sliced jalapeños, scallions, lime, and bean sprouts (I usually leave the sprouts out). Serve with Sriracha and hoisin!

I'm going to have to check out some of your quinoa recipes, they look yummy!

I love pho and that sounds easy! Thanks for sharing

In no particular order:
Lemon pepper shrimp scampi, chicken piccata, homemade tostadas, and NC pulled pork in the slow cooker. Tonight I'm making turkey sausage, kale, and white bean stew.
