One year ago today, I was flying across Europe to 14 different countries in 4 months. Now, I’m stuck on staycation and Timehop is my worst enemy. But the roommates and I are quite fond of this Mediterranean-esque dish inspired by all of my coastal travels.

Staycation ain’t so bad when the food is on point and you’ve found another excuse to fully stock the wine rack.
