Katie Lee Biegel shares her easy 'Do Nothing' cake recipe, popular in the 1970s. With simple ingredients and no need to separate wet and dry, it's perfect for those who crave homemade cake without the hassle! https://t.co/fzfv7PE42r— SheKnows (@SheKnows) March 27, 2024
In the clip, she shares exactly how she made the light and fresh dinner. She starts with meatballs, which require grated zucchini, ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, lemon zested, freshly grated pecorino Romano, and other ingredients. Combine everything in a bowl and roll into 2-inch meatballs. Bake until golden brown (and the chicken is fully cooked).
From there, assemble the orzo salad! You’ll start by boiling water and cooking boxed orzo according to the package instructions. Drain and arrange them on a baking sheet to cool. For the dressing, combine lemon zest, olive oil, and other ingredients, which you will combine then drizzle over the orzo. Other ingredients, like zucchini, dill, and feta, go on top, with the meatballs added last.

The whole thing can be presented on a huge serving bowl, which Biegel carries outside to dish out into individual bowls for an outdoor meal. It looks so yummy — and we love how it’s just as delicious if you eat it straight from the fridge!
“What a good way to hide veggies!!!” one person commented. “You had me at zucchini 💚💚 But also ‘house dress’. Miss my Mom in a gingham one circa 1985 making meatballs with her in the kitchen! 🥲” someone else commented, referring to the gingham “house dress” she is wearing in the video, which she called “summer comfort.”
“I trust all your recipes. Everything I’ve made is a hit. Thank you Katie ❤️” another person praised.
Biegel certainly knows how to put together an amazing recipe. From her Mom Is the Best Pasta to her Roasted Garlic Guacamole, her unique spin on fan-favorite foods always seem to turn them up a notch (or twelve). And we can’t wait to try her latest!
