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.

It’s 12:30am and I have terrible insomnia. While I have spent the last 45 minutes pinning things on Pinterest (which by the way you should totally join me!) it dawned on me that I’ve never shared much about our immigration tale. One of my goals for this year is to expand beyond recipes and provide [...]

Right now, I’m on vacation with MarocBaba and the boys but as I prepared for the trip, a few ideas for posts came to me. We have had the good fortune of traveling a lot with our kids. They think nothing of a 4-5 hour road trip and don’t balk at being told, “we’re driving [...]
