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 [...]
One of my favorite go-to recipes for a quick dinner is chicken stir fry. We’ve been eating a lot of rice and while I normally would serve stir-fry with more rice it was time to change things up. There really is no “right” way to make these. The ingredients can be whatever you have [...]
My kids love corn dogs and thankfully I have been able to find some versions that are ok for them to eat. The problem however is that they’re EXPENSIVE! I’ve got an almost 8 year old that would and could eat 2-3 corn dogs for a meal. Then there’s that pesky stick that boys always [...]
As promised I continue to delve into the appetizers that I tested out during Ramadan. This recipe came from a group I’m a part of on Facebook but I adapted a little bit while making. The recipe is a little in depth but once you get into a good rhythm it goes fast. You can [...]
One of my favorite ideas is Once a Month Cooking (check out Trish and her great recipes), not because I actually believe that I could cook a month’s worth of meals for my family. I do like to prepare several meals that go into the freezer and I can pull out on nights that are [...]
This meal was devised out of pure desperation. I was starving, there wasn’t much in the fridge and I didn’t want to order out. Luckily I had some random things in the fridge and was able to throw this together. I don’t think that it would have tasted as good if I would have planned [...]
