Colorful Side Dish #3
Spinach and Feta
Israeli Couscous, Orzo, Baby Garbanzo, Red Quinoa
Sauté chopped garlic, chopped scallions, and red pepper flakes in olive oil. Add fresh baby spinach to wilt. Season to taste.
Toss spinach mixture with cooked Israeli couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo, and red quinoa. This blend is called Harvest Grains Blend and is available from Trader Joe’s. Crumble feta on top. This recipe was inspired by one in Gourmet magazine some years ago, they made theirs with Acini di Pepe (tiny pearl pasta) and used frozen spinach.
Something New at Home
I am very excited about this change that cost nothing but makes my home feel dramatically different for the new year. I switched the dining room and family room. The former family room is considerably larger and has a fireplace in the corner. I moved the dining table here so now there is a more open and casual space for dining, and we can eat in front of a beautiful crackling fire.
The former dining room is now a cozy den. The chandelier which was above the dining table is above the coffee table, so you can still walk by without hitting your head. Makes a great spot to sit and read cookbooks! I also switched some artwork around, and that has freshened up some of the other rooms in the house.
Have you made any changes to your home or kitchen for the new year?

I love what you did here, very gorgeous. I had a professional organizer at my house, and she changed everything around for better “feng shui” and I got a new kitchen! Isn’t it great to change things up a bit.
The Cosus cous looks fantastic. What a cozy idea with the room change. Asyour family eats in style , they can dine in style too.
I know I’m writing again but.. our master bedroom is chocolate brown, cream and teal with gold and silver leaf accents! I love the richness of brown! 🙂
What, what amazing photography! Everything looks perfectly tasty!
Thanks for sharing.
I’m loving your wonderful side dishes!
The changes in your home look wonderful. We’ve done some funky things with our spaces… the living room/sitting area is my husband’s home office, and he wants to put a pool table in the dining room (I won’t let him!!!)
