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 [...]
It’s been a little sporadic around here as I work a few weeks ahead of time getting prepared for Ramadan. I have so much planned for the month and I know that it’s going to really be awesome! Today I’m sharing a little recipe that my oldest M made up. Lately he has been my [...]
This gluten-free thing is really resting my cooking skills and creativity. It’s REALLY stretching my limited baking skills. I still haven’t been able to make a good bread, though a few have been decent, but not good. Instead of trying to replicate bread that MarocBaba is so dearly missing I’m trying instead to come up [...]
Six years ago, I boarded a plane and set off to spend my last spring break in Morocco. A few months earlier I had met MarocBaba and decided that I needed to go back even if it was only for six days. It wasn’t my first international trip but it was a little different. We [...]
I am always looking to bring new recipes online that aren’t all over the place. Last week we watched Jamie Oliver’s Food Escapes: Marrakech on Cooking Channel. It brought back a flood of memories and ideas but also made me a bit sad. He messed with every traditional Marrakechi dish and made it into something [...]
The first time I wrote about sfinge it was 2009. Whoa. These Moroccan doughnuts are a big favorite in this house – and this looong winter I’ve made them several times for M and K. (They usually have them eaten by the time MarocBaba gets around to them). They love having them for breakfast in [...]
If there is one thing my boys really enjoy it’s getting into my kitchen and “helping” mom. They do help but it is definitely a test of my patience. I try to let them help me at least once a week, generally on the weekends. Usually it’s a group effort but I am starting to [...]
