Is this just a Beth girl dinner ?
Beth,you picked a good time to move to France.LA is burning in apocalyptic fires that are beyond belief with no end in sight and Trump's inauguration is coming soon.V scary times.
I love meals like this. We often have them. I like your chicken idea, looks and sounds yum.
Happy New Year Beth! I unfortunately had covid for the first time and the first thing to go was my appetite. Now, that I am recovered my desire for food has returned. I had lost a few pounds and want to try not to eat back the pounds. Good luck to me. LOL I will try that salad, it looked so refreshing. BTW, I love the color of your sweater on you. So pretty.
Happy New Year Beth 🎉🎉❤❤
Looks delicious 😊 hope your family are safe in California ❤
Happy New Year! Definitely will try this. Looks simple and delicious!
🎉🎉happy new year Beth and family especially George. Hehe
LOL! I just got back from lunch with old friends at my local Greek restaurant & we had almost exactly the same thing! Except not such a lovely presentation. It was all tossed in a bowl together with a couple of pita triangles tucked into the side. Thanks Beth!! You're always a fun refreshing inspiration!
Thank you
Beth, this looks delicious! Hi from Boston! 💕💕💕
Love this!
Simple, clean, nice 👌🏽
Happy New Year Beth! Great to see you again!
Happy New Year’s Beth!
A nice flavor to start off your New Year!
Thanks for sharing 😊
🥰🇬🇧
Kinda underwhelming for a recipe video from my favorite YouTuber, to be honest.
Delisioso😋, we missed you ❤
Sounds great and I read your email today. I have to say being a native Californian my heart is breaking. I however, moved to Florida five years ago so I’m watching it from afar like you are I pray your house is saved for the sake of the new buyer and your memories there.
Beyh, my daughter is studying French snd has become super interested in French culture. I shared this video with her and she asked if you do some specifically French recipies .
Oh comme j'ai faim maintenant !
So colorful and looks refreshing
Beautiful dish. Thank you and wishing you a Happy New Year. Prayers for your parents that they and their home stays safe🙏♥️
Wonderful idea! It must be delicious!
Thank you very much for sharing Beth!
Wonderful dinner idea – fun and interactive as well as a nod to healthy Mediterranean vibes! Here’s wishing you and yours a Happy New Year from Washington, DC!
Happy New Year to our dear Beth!! I just read your email, and tears came to my eyes. I live in Florida, and our oldest daughter lives in Ojai. Several years ago (2017), the Thomas Fire was a massive wildfire that affected Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties and was one of multiple wildfires that ignited in southern California in December 2017. Sitting here, 2,250 miles from my daughter, I felt helpless, concerned, and worried beyond reason. So I can relate to what you are going through and pray that your parents and your beloved "old" house will come out of this unscathed. Seeing you preparing such a delectable dinner or lunch idea made me realize how important our lives interwind in shared experiences. As always thank you Beth…Bisous 😘😘
Happy New Year!! Such an exciting year ahead for you!!!! Hoping you will be doing a book tour that brings you to Seattle!! You look radiant and ready to take it on!!
I will be trying this right away! We are headed to the desert for Feb & March and this looks perfect for al fresco dining too!
Beth, I am always blown away by your choice of outfits for your videos. It may look like just a simple plain red sweater, you somehow managed to look gorgeously stunning in it! Aside from that, I am going to try out this recipe as well😊😊
Such beautiful and elegant dinner ideas, Beth, and you look so beautiful and classy wearing red. 😍😍😍 I’m sure your ratatouille recipe will be world famous. 😍😍😍
Happy New Year! Looks delicious. Do you have any 'healthy' cookie recipes please? A friend bought me back two bags of shredded coconut from the US (which we can't get in England) and I wanted to make something healthy rather than the usual coconut cake with buttercream frosting. Thank you. Love from England xx
Hi from LA 👋
Thank you Beth! Beautiful platter
Thank you! I make this kind of meal often using marinated chicken, pork or beef on skewers cooked on the grill! Fresh pitas, tzatziki and a rice pilaf to round out the meal! 👍🏻 Happy Healthy New Year!
So easy ,so nice😍Thanks
Happy new year! Great meal looks delicious! I will try it.
I love this idea! So healthy too! Keep these ideas coming!
Happy New Years 🎉so perfect to start my Saturday with coffee and Beth! Please pick New Orleans for your book signing! I would ❤ ❤ ❤ to meet you ! I’ve already preordered your book, I watched the photo shoots for the book and just absolutely loved the process. ❤️ from Louisiana🦞❤️🦞❤️🦞❤️🦞
Best wishes to you and family for a Happy New Year 2025🎉❤
Love how picture perfect that plate is. We have that tomato cucumber salad almost all the time, with it without onion, olives, feta.
Can’t wait for your boook!
Happy New Year, Beth!🎉🎉 May all your dreams for 2025 come true!
That looks delicious! I LOVE cucumber tomato salad! 😍 And I love all the other parts of this meal, too. I've just never thought to put them all together in this way. I do grill Greek chicken and serve it with tzatziki and a salad that is lettuce plus the cucumbers and tomatoes, Kalamata olives and feta with a Greek dressing. Never thought to include hummus or just leave the lettuce out! I had actually planned to make my version this week (it's all on the grocery order I have coming on Monday) and I'm absolutely making it your way! Thanks – your timing is impeccable! 😂
Love ❤❤❤
This looks so good! I need a grill pan!
Great Beth ! Thank you ! All the Best for 2025 🎉🍾🙏
I love it . I make that salad before and I put some feta on it . Everyone loves it . Your cherry tomatoes have so much flavor . Have a great week Beth .
Looks delicious, thank you.😊
❤❤❤
