Moroccan salads are so important to the dinner table. One of the easiest, is this tomato and onion salad. It’s always on the table if there is fish being served and you’re likely to find it in regular rotation with many other meals as well. It may become a new favorite after you give it [...]

I love scouring the condiment aisle at any market I find myself in. When traveling it’s one of the most interesting aisles to explore. You can learn so much about people and their food culture. I never knew mayonnaise was so easy to make! As part of my preparation to move to Morocco, I’ve been [...]

The tajine is a Moroccan slow-cooker. It’s an ancient cooking pot originally used by the indigenous Berbers of North Africa. It is not only the word used to describe the cooking vessel but the meal contained inside. Braniya happens to be one of MarocBaba’s favorite meals, though it was only this year that he “remembered.” [...]

Morocco isn’t known for it’s coffee culture but I’ve found the “coffee culture” inside of many Moroccan homes to be my favorite part of the day. Arabica coffee sometimes mixed with spices and sometimes alone is brewed thick and served with plenty of sweet, whole milk. In honor of Mother’s Day in the United States [...]

If you asked my mom, she would probably tell you I wasn’t a very adventurous eater when I was a child. I liked all of the things every other Midwestern child liked. Hot dogs and hamburgers, casseroles, and of course heavy doses of starches like pasta, bread, and potatoes. It’s what we ate. It’s what [...]

Menu Plan Monday October 11

10 Oct posted by Amanda Mouttaki

I didn’t do this last week, not sure why but it just didn’t come across my radar in time. And the week was an absolute mess. Seriously. I started a new job on Tuesday and had no plans in the works at all for meals the rest of the week. This has led me to believe that meal planning is a must, especially now that I’m at work a good portion of the day. My oldest has also started carrying his lunch almost everyday so I’ve added on lunch planning, though not as structured.

Monday: Lower Fat Lasagna

Tuesday: Beef and White Bean Tajine

Wednesday: (out of town for DH’s citizenship ceremony) Crockpot Chicken with Rice and Veggies

Thursday: Baked Gnocchi

Friday: Chicken with Saffron Rice

Saturday: Greek Slow Cooker Chicken

Lunches – often will be leftovers for me; some type of sandwich for the little guy. I’m also making some Kale chips and Sweet Potato chips to add in. I’m also checking some of these lunches for more ideas.

Congrats on DH's citizenship ceremony. It will be a huge weight off your shoulders & makes life, especially travelling, so much easier.

I've tried meal planning on several occasions but always have problems following it. Maybe it's easier if it's more than just two? Or do you have to be a really structured person?

I think you can make it work a few ways. 1) is to plan daily and stick to it (or pre-cook portions of the meal) or 2) make a list of 5-6 meals and then shop for them. Make which meal sounds good that day. I don't always follow exactly but it helps me to have ideas prepared ahead of time so I'm not wandering the kitchen figuring out what to make!
