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 [...]
My favorite part of a Moroccan meal isn’t the main dish. I have never really loved meat and, at least with my mother-in-law, most of the meals are pretty heavy in that department. No, my favorite part of the meal is the salad assortment that comes out first. I think my love of tapas in [...]
Now that you’re loaded up with new recipe ideas (and even more after Monday’s chat) it’s time to start planning the fun part of the party – the decorations! I love the idea of simple, chic design that’s easy to set up and even easier to clean up. I put together this little picture collage [...]
I live in Wisconsin, the dairy state. Perhaps you’ve heard that we are known as the dairy state. However there are some disturbing TV commercials that try to claim that happy cows are in California, ergo California should be the new dairy state. It’s a bit of a controversy. So I’m calling this pizza the [...]
This is an exciting week for me and MarocMama, it’s a full week of olive love! It should come as no surprise to many that we eat a lot of olives. Morocco is well known for their olives and olive oil. I always come home with kilos of them in my suitcase. But they only [...]
This year our family decided to sign up for a CSA share. If you’ve never heard of a CSA let me give you a few details about it. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Individuals or families buy a share (or a half share) in the CSA to help the farmer cover the production costs [...]
I have exciting news to share with you! I recently found out about a fantastic contest being held by – Salsa Sensations. They are giving away a $1000 gift card to Wal-Mart in their What’s Your Craving contest. Contestants should showcase a creative after-school recipe. Salsa Sensations is a new product found at most Wal-Mart [...]
Particularly appetizers that involve creamy mozzerella cheese and buttery puff pastry. Not that I discriminate but these are good. They’re fast and easy and you’ll be popping one after another – no lie. I scooped up some puff pastry to make these appetizers in honor of the NFC Championship game two weeks ago. They were [...]
