Aussies love Greek Salad. If the local fish and chip shop sells one fresh salad, it’s probably a Greek Salad. That’s how much we love it. Did you know……Greek Salad as most people know it (and the way I make it) is not actually the real-deal authentic Greek way. The way the Greeks make it, feta is served in a block on top of the salad rather than chopped into cubes, and the salad is dressed with just plain extra virgin olive oil (Greek olive oil of course!...
FavoritePinShare Hey to all the awesome Recipe Critic readers! Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Apron back to bring you one of my favorite muffin recipes! These muffins are made healthier with Greek yogurt and yet they taste like a bakery muffin equivalent – super moist and crumbly – YUM! They also have such a fun “mix-in” in the form of canned fruit cocktail. I LOVE fruit cocktail – the mix of peaches, pears, pineapples, and cherries is absolutely delicious....
These easy enchiladas were one of the first recipes I learned to make on my own and were one of the earliest dinners I made for Ben when we were dating. They are also my family’s Christmas dinner tradition (because, why not?), and were the FIRST recipe I ever posted on Well Plated. Yes, nostalgia is a big part of why I love these simple green chile chicken enchiladas. However, these cheesy, creamy chicken enchiladas serve up more than memories:...

If there’s one recipe on the blog that I’ve made the most, it’s these healthy chicken tacos. I make them at least once a week, sometimes twice. They are a weeknight wonder - ready in just 25 minutes and completely stress free. When I first posted this recipe back in January 2018 I would make them on the stovetop. These days I make them in the oven. Both ways work just fine, but I find oven baking the easier of the two given it makes it a one-pan dish and is less hands-on....

Hemingway loved Havana Club Silver Dry rum, and preferred his Daiquiris without sugar, cold and sour, and with a bit more rum than the traditional Daiquiri. There is so much history behind this drink....

“The first bite will really throw you off balance because it’s a flavour that is so familiar and yet, it is in dip form!” Other than the base which is made with a cream cheese mixture instead of a pizza crust, everything else that goes into this dip is what you would put on a pizza, including the pizza sauce. So when I say that this tastes like pizza, it really truly does....
