It’s pasta salad season! I could eat pasta salad every night and this Greek version is packed with fresh flavors and textures. It pairs well with a protein and is the perfect side to summer barbecues. I made this for our cooking club last week and it was such a hit. I am having a moment with fresh herbs in everything. I chopped up a big fresh mix of dill, tarragon and parsley and it completely transforms the flavors. Paired with lemon zest and the most delicious lemon olive oil. If you are someone who loves to cook, this olive oil will change your life.

Greek Orzo Salad with Crispy Chickpeas

Ingredients:

1 box of orzo pasta
extra virgin olive oil (Brightland lemon olive oil for brownie points)
juice + zest of one lemon
greek seasoning
fresh feta in the brine, crumbled
kalamata olives, chopped
a big bunch of chopped dill, tarragon and parsley
chickpeas, drained
2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper

Start by preheating your oven to 375F. Place chickpeas on a parchment lined baking sheet and coat evenly with olive oil, cumin and salt. Roast until crispy and set aside!

Cook your orzo. Strain and reserve 1/4 cup water. Coat in olive oil (probably 4 tbsp), lemon juice (make sure to zest and set aside!), reserved pasta water, Greek seasoning and salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes! Remove and add your feta, olives, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper. If your pasta seems a little dry add more olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to serve and top with crunchy chickpeas! Enjoy!

Gingham is one of those prints that I have a hard time turning away from. If I could I think I’d live in a tiny cottage covered in gingham curtains and couches with chicken art on the walls. There is just something about it that speaks to my soul! Especially this time of year. A classic print that feels fun and youthful and traditional. Gingham in a fun color or modern silhouette, check and check. Both of these styles are from Ann Taylor (this is not sponsored but I love them so much!). In case you love gingham, too, scroll down for a bunch of styles I’m eyeing for summer…

I honestly haven’t felt very inspired in the kitchen lately and when I need a good recipe to get me back into the game, I always lean towards mediterranean flavors. My inspiration in the kitchen comes from meals I’ve enjoyed, a version that I know my family will enjoy and ease! These ground turkey gyros were everything I wanted them to be, and more. I had seen this technique of cooking ground meat into a tortilla on Instagram a few times and decided to try it with this recipe. Wow! I’ll be using this method going forward for tacos on the flat top. We used (and love so much!) our MadeIn griddle and I just saw that it is on sale.

One thing that I think elevated mediterranean flavors when you’re cooking is adding lemon every step of the way. It adds a zippiness and freshness to each layer. If you’ve ever lived or visited Chicago, one of my favorite restaurants in Athenian Room in Lincoln Park. They are famous for their greek recipes and their gyros are a favorite. These tasted just like them and transported me back to my favorite years living downtown.

Here is a step by step video of the recipe if that helps you visualize it better!

Ground Turkey Gyros with Homemade Tzatziki

Ingredients:

for the tzatziki…
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 small cucumber, grated
2 cloves of garlic, grated
juice of 1/2 lemon
lemon zest of one lemon
1 tbsp chopped dill
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
flakey salt to taste

for the mediterranean slaw…
1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
2 small cucumbers, chopped
1/2 cup green olives, chopped
1/4 cup pickled red onion, chopped
1 tbsp dill
1 tsp greek seasoning
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
flakey salt to taste
lemon zest from 1/2 lemon

for you the ground turkey…
1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp greek seasoning
a big pinch of flakey sea salt

+
really good feta on the block
avocado oil
tortillas of your choice! I used low carb flour tortillas

For the tzatziki, grate your cucumber in a bowl and use a paper towel to absorb majority of the juice. Grate your garlic, lemon zest and add your yogurt and dill. Add your olive oil and salt and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to eat!

For the mediterranean slaw, combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to eat!

For the ground turkey, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Preheat your griddle and coat it with oil. I like to use avocado oil with turkey because it has a higher fat ratio and can handle high heat. Evenly distributed your ground meat evenly amongst your tortillas. Use a spatula or your hands to create a thin layer on the tortilla. Place tortillas meat side down on your griddle and cook for 4 minutes. The meat will cook fast because it is a thin layer! Flip and warm tortilla on the other side. Load of your gyros with all the toppings and enjoy!! Oh my gosh I’m drooling just typing this.

Please let me know if you make this or any of my other recipes!! You always inspire me to keep going in the kitchen even when life gets busy.

Liz Adams x DRD 14K Gold Seashell Reversible Charm

I am so excited to share the Mother’s Day charm I created in collaboration with my friend Dana Rebecca! When Dana approached me about creating a custom charm that symbolized motherhood for me, I jumped on board. We discussed symbols that are a reflection of my relationship with my own mom and every layer of motherhood – the feelings, the journey, the transitions. Ultimately we settled on two: a scallop shell and a rising sun. Dana worked her design magic and created the most beautiful 14k yellow gold reversible charm (making it so special for a charm bracelet!). The scallop shell symbolizes “all paths lead to one” and the significance of the paths it takes to becoming a mother and the natural beauty of becoming. The rising sun symbolizes the transformation, the overwhelming nature of it all and the reminder that the sun will always rise on the hard days. I am so so proud of how this charm turned out! I love that it can be worn on a necklace or bracelet.

Meatballs are a popular meal in our house! We make them all the time and over the years I’ve made many variations! Some of our favorites include these stuffed meatballs and these perfect turkey meatballs with pesto. I have even made a variation of these greek meatballs before! Let’s call this version a dumbed down, super simple, just finely chop your favorite flavors and through them into whatever ground meat you choose!

See a video of this recipe right here!

Greek Turkey Meatballs

1lb of ground turkey (I use 93/7 fat percentage) but you can also use whatever ground meat you want!
Finely chopped shallot, about half a shallot
Finely chopped garlic, 2 cloves 
1/2 cup finely chopped kalamata olives
3 pepperoncinis, finely chopped
finely chopped dill
finely chopped parsley
finely chopped feta (I prefer goats milk feta in brine!)
salt + pepper + a dash of ground oregano 

Combine and roll into meatballs! Bake at 350F for 18-20 mins on a nonstick sheet pan. Easy peasy!

For my pasta I made a sauce of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, Parmesan, salt and pepper, and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

I was looking through all of my saved items recently to sort of connect the dots between what I’m wearing lately and what I’m eyeing. I’m definitely leaning into a more muted palette and softer tones of green, blues, yellows and cream. It feels like a good time of year to rely on pieces that feel light and airy and that can help you easily transition into warmer, longer days ahead!

I made a pact that I would be more intentional with my style this year, you can read about it here! It’s funny because I actually think I’ve been less in my head and my outfits feel more cohesive. Sometimes simple is best! I typically gravitate towards a more classic style but with a bit of delight. Everything linked above feels timeless but special! I also just ordered these yellow pants to pair with this lace top. They are definitely pricey but I’ve had the stripe version for maybe 5 years and they are still some of my favorite pants! A reminder that investing in high quality pieces is always worth it when building a solid wardrobe.

You can see a lot of my recent outfits here.

January through March are heavy denim months when it comes to my style. I have been rotating through quite a few of my favorite jeans in recent days that feel casual and easy. I made a pact with myself to make the extra effort when it comes to “finishing” my look but the truth is every good outfit starts with a good foundation. Denim is one of those items in my wardrobe that are always worth the price tag. They get worn day in and day out, can be dressed up or down and somehow can always be appropriate. Below are the best jeans to buy in 2026 and some fun ways to wear them! And check out this reel with a more detailed view of my favorite jeans in action.
