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 [...]
This week’s Sunday Supper theme is awesome. I’m so excited! Everyone is sharing a movie inspired recipe. Even though I loathe it, I wonder if you can guess which movie I’ve chosen? Want to know a little insider secret? There’s no such place as Rick’s Cafe – never was. Flocks of tourists visit Casablanca every [...]
Two weeks ago we were standing in the middle of the Belizean Jungle. Out the window today? Kind of depressing isn’t it? We had the most amazing vacation and I completely fell in love with the Caribbean and Central America. Like, head over heels in love. My only complaint was that we just didn’t have [...]
When I was a little girl my grandparents would take me out for dinner every Friday night. It wasn’t just a happy meal at McDonald’s or a tacos in a hole in the wall place. It was a supper club. Maybe you have never been to a supper club but they are a thing of [...]
Whew!! This was one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Generally I only work part-time at my day job however we had a big fundraising event this week (of which I am in charge) and frankly I barely had time to sleep and eat. I believe I punched about 50 hours [...]
So how hot is it by you? It’s scorching here – the heat index soared above 100F today and sweat beads were dripping off my face anytime I set foot outside. It’s safe to say I’m not cooking in the house. Why you might ask…we don’t have central air. So today’s recipe is one [...]
Before I met my husband fish and seafood was something that I ate on a very rare occasion and in small quantities. Not to mention it was usually the deep fried type. I didn’t really “like” it. But fish was something my husband had grown up with, especially sardines and anchovies (I’m not there yet!) [...]
