Before I went to Morocco I had never eaten a pistachio. The closest I had come to a pistachio was in the Jello pudding my dad ate. But, once I ate one, well I was hooked – and a little upset that I had missed out on this delicious nut for the first 20 years [...]
Moroccan pastries are small, bite size gems of deliciousness. Most have nuts, usually almonds, honey, and powdered sugar. Sadly, the majority also have wheat making them off-limits for us. Ramadan is right around the corner and I have been re-making all of our favorite treats into gluten-free replicas. Are you ready for a ghriba-a-palooza? I’ve [...]
Do your kids cringe at the sight of cooked carrots? One of the easiest and most delicious Moroccan salads is this cooked carrot salad served at room temperature and dressed with a simple vinaigrette. When I was growing up I, like many other kids, wasn’t too fond of cooked vegetables. But, fresh vegetables well that [...]
This weekend is considered the start of summer in the United States. So, it makes sense that the theme for this weeks’ Sunday Supper is Picnics. It seems like we missed spring and are jumping right into summer considering we’ve only been without snow on the ground the last three weeks. I however, am not [...]
This week I’m participating in #WeekdaySupper, where contributors share easy meal ideas to help you get dinner on the table. As soon as the snow melts here, and sometimes when it’s still flying, our grill is on overdrive. Most everyone loves grilled burgers, but I like to mix that up. This recipe combines the Moroccan [...]
It’s that time of year when round-up posts are aplenty. Not being one to want to be left out, I’m offering you my favorite cookbooks from 2012. I have a bit of a cookbook problem, just ask my husband. Whenever a box turns up that looks like it might contain a book I hear, “another [...]
I’m busy today preparing for my online fall Twitter party. You’re coming right? Tonight at 9pm EST using #FallPartyFood. I think I like virtual parties as much as the real thing – and there’s no cleanup involved! This week was super busy and stressful for me with work commitments, party planning and family life and [...]
I was lucky enough to gain an advance viewing of Unity Productions Foundation latest feature Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World. I am a bit of a documentary geek and was interested to see how this story would be told. I was captivated. This video is one of the most beautiful and interesting films I [...]
It’s taken me a full week to recover from my trip to Seattle. I was really shocked at how exhausted I was when I got home. Usually on a trip home from Morocco it takes me 3-4 days to start feeling normal again but I just couldn’t shake the sleepiness. My trip to Seattle was [...]
So first off a little apology for having review overload this week but I’ve got so may great things to share! Last month I read The Book of Jonas by Stephen Dau with the BlogHer book club. This was Dau’s first novel and I was drawn to it initially because of the setting. [...]
I’ve shared a packing post in the past but it was when I was packing five suitcases for my three guys to live out of for nearly two months. Packing for a weekend trip is a whole lot easier! It seems that no matter where we are going or how early I start to [...]
