My hubby loves lamb so I thought it fitting to share this Lamb Kefta recipe ahead of Father's Day. One of my families greatest pleasures is trying different cuisines. Middle Eastern is a firm favourite and this Lamb Kefta is based on one we like to order at a lovely restaurant nearby.

The best thing about my Breakfast Hash Pie, ...

My Mediterranean Chicken Bake is prep to plate in 30 minutes and I strongly recommend you make a double batch for a few days of quick and simple lunches. Last week we added to our family an adorable puppy - Bonnie Blu. My teen also started at a new school so I now have two kids at two different schools. So ...
