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 [...]
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 [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote about our weekend in Chicago and promised a follow-up post about everything we did. Here it is!

I’m going to admit my bias right off the bat by saying King Hassan II is not someone I admire. His rule clearly shapes Morocco as it lasted from 1961 until 1999. At the time of his father, King Mohamed V’s death (heart attack) there were many rumors that the Hassan had a hand in [...]

In the US, this weekend is a holiday weekend. For our family it kicks off a summer of visiting family, picnics, fireworks, parades and travel. As a child Memorial Day weekend was an extra day off of school. It also meant that on occasion my grandma would drag me to the cemetery for a memorial [...]

As much as I love cooking, eating, and writing about Moroccan food I love reading about other peoples’ experience with Moroccan food too. I’ve always been a fan of Global Table Adventure and have been waiting for Sasha to get to Morocco. Her series just finished and her final post gave me a good idea [...]

There was a time when K, my youngest son refused to eat most anything. He picked at everything we put in front of him and the only kind of meat that was going to pass his mouth was in chicken nugget form. I struggled for months with his weight and nutrition. He continued to border [...]
