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”s not very often I make lamb out of the blue but a few weeks ago it seemed the perfect time to pull a rack of lamb chops from the freezer and slow roast them. I had received a package from Superior Farms a little while ago but hadn’t had a chance to cook with [...]
Recently my sister moved to the town we live in. I am so excited that my niece and nephews are close by! When I first visited Morocco and met MarocBaba my sister was with and it’s safe to say she played some part in creating the events that led to us meeting. She also grew [...]
I have a confession. I haven’t been cooking much lately. It’s true. When I do cook I haven’t been all that inventive, relying on tried and true recipes. I’ve had a lot going on and my younger sister has moved home to have her second baby. So, I’ve been busy being the baby whisperer..(he hasn’t [...]
I have been meaning to get this recipe up for sometime but kept having other things to put up instead! This is generally made during Eid al Adha in Morocco. While I have never eaten it (I don’t do organs) MarocBaba and even M do like it. The first meal of Eid al Adha in [...]
What’s sweeter than fresh sweet peas (in super sweet little hands nonetheless)? On a recent trip to the farmer’s market I was very happy to see tables bulging with these beautiful peas. As the first of the season some pods were full of plump peas while others were minimal. While at the market I also [...]
Today’s guest post is from a new blogging buddy of mine. Amnah is an absolute darling and I have really enjoyed getting to know her. She is a fellow contributor at American Muslim Mom and is the mom I wish I could be! You should really stop by her blog, Little Life of Mine for [...]
