What's for Dinner? Occam's Razor

My mom's an awesome cook. I grew up never having quite the same meal twice. Really. She tries to cook meals differently every time to appease and expand our picky discriminating tastes. I can't really afford to do that. I have limited groceries/spices/room to experiment, but I do try different things. Sometimes.

During our initial "big shop," my mom got me some feta cheese that I had intended to use in a couscous salad modified from a Real Simple recipe for orzo salad. A month later, my desire for cold food has not returned and the feta was still unopened. Fearing that it would go bad soon, I spent forever trying to find a recipe that would involve feta, be hot and yummy, and not require more ingredients than I had. Desperate, I called my mom for ideas. She was about to leave for mutual when I called. (You're welcome, 5th Ward young women, by the way. My mom is the best and I used to be her only daughter.) I forgot what she said, but it inspired me. 

I took this to make

this.

I was almost upset how simple it was after all that time trying to come up with something, and it wasn't that different from what I would usually make. But of course, it's the simple things that are the best, right?
