Meatless Monday Grocery List: Greek Orzo Pasta Salad

We're back from a few days visiting my parents in Cleveland, which featured a trip to one of my all-time favorite food meccas, the West Side Market. For all you Clevelanders reading this post, can I get an "amen" on the Market? If you're ever in CLE, be sure to check it out.



So for this week's Meatless Monday Healthy Eating Challenge I'm featuring my favorite Greek Orzo Pasta Salad, making it Jersey Baby style.

Jersey Baby suggested topping this delicious orzo salad with some chickpeas for good measure. Since I'll be enjoying this salad without any feta, some chickpeas for protein are right up my alley, and a great suggestion no matter what.


Here's the grocery list for this delicious recipe:

Produce:
1 large lemon
4 roma tomatoes or a package of grape tomatoes
1/2 red onion
1/2 bell pepper
1 small zucchini or yellow squash
3 cloves garlic

Grocery:
12 oz orzo pasta
2 cups (about 15 oz canned or frozen artichoke hearts)
1 cup chopped olives, preferably kalamata
1 -15 oz can chickpeas -OR- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Dairy:
4-6 oz crumbled feta

Pantry:
red wine vinegar
dried mustard powder
dried oregano
salt
pepper
olive oil

Have a sweet weekend,
SPC

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
