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 [...]
Last year for Mimouna I wrote a general post, introducing many of you to this unique Moroccan holiday. Whether you’re Jewish or not, Mimouna is a great festival to share with family and friends. This year the holiday is on April 2nd. So get your wheat flour ready to celebrate! Mimouna, like many Moroccan holidays, [...]
In Morocco there is a really unique holiday called Mimouna. It really only happens there or in communities that have a Moroccan Jewish diaspora population. It happens the day after Passover and and marks the start of spring and the return of chametz or bread products. Last year I wrote a whole post with many [...]
Here, in the United States we’re celebrating Thanksgiving today. This morning I’m doing a “Turkey Trot” with my mom and step-dad, and while some people will be running the 5 mile course, we’ll be walking it. You have to start somewhere right? It’s a low-key kind of day, with the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, a [...]
If your kids are like my kids they are super cute… Everyone knows your kids are cute and therefore they are constantly buying your cute kids toys. And then some more toys. So when it comes time for mom and dad (or Santa – hey you never know) to get them something well, [...]
Every year for the Fourth of July our family has a little get-together at a local lake. It’s been a few years since we have been able to attend and so this year I was excited to be going. Since we have seen marked improvements with MarocBaba since removing gluten from his diet I didn’t [...]
Whew!! I have spent a better part of the weekend working on a little blog makeover. So…what do you think? (PS if you say you hate it I will ignore you…just kidding!) I think my eyes are crossed but I am happy with how things look, although I’m sure to make tweeks as I go. [...]
