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.

Several weeks ago I stumbled across a post on Cooking in Westchester through a friends share on Twitter. It’s an Indian cooking blog specifically focusing on Bengali cuisine. I am always drawn to blogs like my own, those who are living outside the country they blog about. Although I’m not Moroccan I have found that cooking [...]

The mosque and attached school were built in 859 and have been operational ever since. This spiritual and education center is in Fes Morocco and operates as [...]
Who’s ready to party? We’re starting to get into the holiday spirit with Eid right around the corner. Last year I did a special giveaway with Silver Envelope, a great online store that offers Islamic stationary such as Eid greeting cards, Ramadan party supplies and everything that you need for a birthday party or other [...]
Once upon a time my friend Yvonne at My Halal Kitchen wrote a post called “Brighten Up Your Kitchen” that included a giveaway for some very cute pink shelf liner. I entered of course, because living in a home chock full of testosterone I need as much pink in my life as I can get. [...]
Get out the streamers! Cue the balloons! I love my birthday and this year I have even more reason to love it because this year I get to give one lucky reader a gift. As you know I’m always on the lookout for new kitchen supplies and tools. I recently had the chance to try [...]
I’ve often wondered what people did before the internet. How did they find new products? Where did they share these new finds? Then I remember there really isn’t a time in my life before the internet so it’s all a bit subjective. Six months or so ago I discovered Go Picnic when I was searching [...]
