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 [...]
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 [...]
Over the weekend we spent a lot of much needed time with family, enjoying each other and being outside. I even took a technology break. I rarely checked my phone, wasn’t emailing or checking in anywhere. It really was a great vacation. One of the things that we did was to visit my dad at [...]
A few weeks ago I got a fabulous treat in the mail. I was so anxious as I tore open the box to find inside a bottle of Moroccan gold…argan oil. This isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned this oil, in fact I’ve even given a bottle away! I was so excited when The Argan [...]
Today’s guest post is from Lana of Bibberche. She is a total sweetheart and I’ve long admired her from seeing her tweets. I was so shy to even ask her if she would want to do a guest post because she is so talented and I thought she would scoff at my request. Lucky for [...]
The first time I tried to make a tart the crust melted into a complete and utter mess and the cream that was supposed to go inside turned rock hard on the outside and raw on the inside. It was a failure of epic proportions. Undeterred I set out to give it a go again, [...]
Best. Cookies. Ever. Chewy chocolate chip cookies are one of my very favorite things. Out of desperation I rummaged through my cupboards in search of chocolate chips, only to find out that there weren’t any. What to do, what to do? Melt down a 1/4 jar of nutella and make Nutella chips of course! How [...]
