The “Real” Jennifer Aniston “Friends Salad”
I hate to break it to you, but…. It turns out that the famous “Friends” salad which has been making its rounds on the internet for the last couple of years, is not exactly the salad that the girls were lunching on daily, on the set of friends. What?? Like what??? Hmmmm….. Ok, I’m not really that surprised, but I wanted to believe, didn’t you? LOL Upon further investigation, it doesn’t appear that there was actually any footage or proof of Jennifer telling us that this was indeed “The Salad”. So, how did the Fake Friends Salad even come about? I have no idea. However I will tell you that…

Wine Braised Chicken Stew in the Instant Pot
Today’s recipe is my very own chicken version of a beef stew. And, if like many of us, you’re cutting back on eating red meat this is a fantastic alternative.

The only downside to stews is that the cooking time is usually several hours. The flavours need time, to simmer and meld into a beautiful rich sauce. But what if you don’t have that kinda time? Instant Pot to the rescue once again. I’ve been experimenting and…

The famous “Friends” Salad {vegetarian}
So there’s been a recipe circulating the internet for months called the “Jennifer Aniston Friends Salad”. The intriguing part about it is the story that goes with it… Rumor has it that Jennifer ate this salad every day on set, for 10 years. Ten years! And the rest of the “Friends” gang often joined her. And.. They didn’t add any salad dressing. Not even olive oil. (I can’t get on board with that lol) Needless to say, I was intrigued and had to give it a try. Well, it turns out that our “Friend” Jen makes a great salad! LOL It really is a a simple mix of typical Mediterranean…

Memories of Greece Chicken Meatballs
Feta cheese is hip again! With the recent TikTok craze over a baked tomato and feta pasta dish, there seems to be a renewed interest in cooking with this very traditional Greek cheese. And why not, I mean it’s fantastic on so much more than just a Greek salad. Of course, now folks out there are putting it on everything! LOL Including meatballs…. Now, I’ve been making meatballs for many years, but I must admit that I never thought of adding feta cheese to the mix. Well, I had to try it. And I absolutely loved the results. So today I’m sharing with you my go to, tried and true chicken…
