A tasty and refreshing salad with grilled tilapia that has been marinated in a mixture of lemon and rosemary. This salad tastes great and fills you up because it has fresh vegetables, tangy olives, and creamy feta cheese.

Ingredients: 4 tilapia fillets. 2 lemons, juiced and zested. 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 cups mixed greens e.g., spinach, arugula, and kale. 1 cucumber, thinly sliced. 1 red onion, thinly sliced. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced. 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.

Instructions: To make a marinade, put the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Put the tilapia fillets in a plastic bag that can be closed again and again, and pour the marinade over them. Put the bag in the fridge for 30 minutes with the lid on. Warm up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Take the marinated tilapia fillets out of the bag and grill them for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have a little char on the outside. Take them out of the heat and give them a minute to rest. Put the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Set the tilapia aside while you do this. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar should be mixed together in a small bowl using a whisk. This will make the salad dressing. Cut the grilled tilapia into small pieces that you can easily eat and add them to the salad. Add the salad dressing and toss the salad to mix it all together. Serve the Lemon Rosemary Tilapia Salad right away, and if you want, top it with more fresh rosemary.

These Philly Cheesesteak Pierogies are a tasty take on the traditional dumpling. They have the tastes of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the comfort of pierogies. They go well with a hearty meal or as a tasty starter.

Ingredients: 1 package of store-bought pierogi dough. 1 pound of thinly sliced beef steak ribeye or sirloin. 1 cup of thinly sliced bell peppers green and red. 1 cup of thinly sliced onions. 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese. 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup of beef broth. 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce. 1/4 cup of cream cheese. 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley. 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Instructions: In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Spread the beef steak out thinly and add it to the pan. Cook for two to three minutes on each side until it turns brown. Add pepper and salt to taste. Set the steak aside after taking it out of the pan. Put the sliced onions and bell peppers in the same pan. It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Put the cooked steak back in the pan with the onions and bell peppers. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Allow the flavors to blend for another two to three minutes. Take the pierogi dough and roll it out. Then, use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut it into circles. On each circle of pierogi dough, put a spoonful of the Philly cheesesteak filling and a few pieces of provolone cheese. To seal the edges, fold the dough over to make a half-moon shape. As the water boils, add salt to a large pot. Slowly add the pierogies and cook for three to four minutes, until they float to the top. With a slotted spoon, take the pierogies out of the fat and put them on a platter to serve. Over low heat, stir the cream cheese in a small saucepan until it's smooth. Add the cream cheese sauce to the pierogies and then top them with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
