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 [...]
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 [...]
I often have leftover rice but the main dish has been eaten up. I don’t think rice reheats very well but I have remade it into fried rice. As I was getting ready for this week’s Sunday Supper I came across another use. I’m making Frijol con Carne in honor of our upcoming vacation to [...]
I am no stranger to Middle Eastern food though many Moroccan “foodies” would argue that Moroccan food isn’t Middle Eastern food. I would tend to agree with that. This recipe is a great example of just how true that is. I am participating with several other food bloggers taking part in a virtual potluck using [...]
I had really great intentions of getting this post up earlier this week but work got in the way. I hate it when that happens! Today is the last day of Hanukkah and so I wanted to make sure that I shared this post before it was too late. Then again, this whole experience has [...]
My kids are on their way back to school Tuesday. This mama is going to release a big sigh of relief when it happens. I loved having my kids around this summer, we did a lot of really fun things but sometimes it’s just too much! Since I’ve started working for myself it’s been a [...]
Banh mi is a Vietnamese word meaning bread and most commonly refers to a baguette filled with sandwich toppings. Like Morocco, Vietnam was a French colony/protectorate. Wherever the French went they left their indelible mark of bread and boulevards. In Morocco the bocadillo sandwich, a baguette filled with a mishmash of ingredients is a well [...]
One of the best things I have found to supplement the lack of bread since moving to a more gluten-free existence (we’re about 80% GF – 20% no) are corn tortillas. Amazingly these guys have so many different uses! While we love a good taco bar as much as the next family – tacos every [...]
