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 didn’t break!! I’ve blogged a few times about my bad luck with cracking tajines. The most recent tajine that I’ve gotten I didn’t take any chances with – doing lots of prepping before actually using it. I very timidly decided to try it out, cooking a chicken tajine on very low temperatures and only [...]
This week was going to highlight breads of the Mediterranean but I think that we will hold off and postpone for next week. I have decided to leave two weeks to complete each challenge. It will give everyone a little breathing room and a chance to participate. Not to mention allow me to get back [...]
In conjunction with the Food of the Sun weekly blog theme I have decided to randomly giveaway a Moroccan tea set. I talked about this set a few weeks ago as an item that I had for sale. There were no takers and so I decided to use it as a giveaway! I will be [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve to all of you! I’m excited about Round 3 of the Food of the Sun – Appetizers! I came up with this recipe out of the blue one day when I was having people over. I love the little pinwheel sandwiches but usually they have either a) bacon or b) ham [...]
I’ve been reading so many cooking magazines and cookbooks lately that I haven’t even had time to make recipes from them! I have been trying to incorporate more beans and fiber into our diet, as I am anemic and my husband has cholesterol issues. This truly is a comfort dish. It has the lemony [...]
It’s here! I am really looking forward to sharing with you all some great new recipes every week. I have participated in a few online cooking memes and have long wanted to start my own. With the help of my friend Henia at Simplicity by the Sea we’re putting together Food of the Sun – [...]
