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 [...]
Thursday is Valentine’s Day, an (in my opinion) over-hyped, commercialized holiday – at least where we live. you might be wondering why in the world I’m blogging about this then. I think that any opportunity we have to show the ones we love our appreciation [...]
You may have heard there’s a little event going on today. Well, if you live in the US you couldn’t have missed it. It’s Superbowl time! For those of my readers who don’t know it’s a football game and an excuse for many Americans to overindulge in food, alcohol and noise. I grew up watching [...]
If your kids are anything like mine, they’re condiment crazy. Every few weeks, as I make my shopping list I have to re-check the door of the fridge to see what’s missing this week. MarocBaba, who for the longest time wouldn’t touch salad dressing or dipping sauce has become a ranch-a-holic. It goes on everything. [...]
It was after a long morning on the beach of Essaouira that we stumbled into the medina to find something for lunch. Well equipped with a list of requests from the rest of the family we found a “snak” stand to place a very large order. It was during this last visit to Morocco [...]
When we moved back to the Midwest I left behind a lot of really great friends. For many months I really felt like I would never find even a single friend let alone several. But I have been very blessed to meet several ladies that I am honored to call friends. We’ve started a little [...]
See that? It’s probably one of the most recognizable symbols around the world. I’ve always dreamed of the day I made it to France to see L’tour Eiffel up close and personal. On our way to Morocco we had a 13 hour layover in Paris and there was no chance we were spending it [...]
