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 [...]
We are in the final 10 days of Ramadan and I’m actually a little amazed at how fast the month has gone by. I wanted more out of this months’ posts. I had a big plan and I was going to have all of these posts pre-written, posted ahead, sent to email subscribers ahead. Instead [...]
I got a message recently asking me if I could share what a day is typically like for us during Ramadan so this post is me making good on my promise to share! Overall the day is really not that much different from any other day. Though there are a few exceptions. That’s 4am not [...]
One of my favorite snacks in Morocco are spiced olives with a fresh loaf of bread and some cheese. I’ve never really cared to figure out how to make said olives because I thought they might lose some of their appeal. Wrong. With a little direction from MarocBaba and my mother-in-law I figured out [...]
Have you ever heard of flowering tea? Several months ago I was at a new sandwich shop in the area and came across Numi tea. I’d never heard about it but whenever I see Moroccan Mint tea I get intrigued. I happened to look at the back of the box and saw a halal marker. [...]
I’m just getting back from a weekend of traveling and am so tired! I feel like I’m really dragging my tail (as you can tell from this late posting!) I find that fasting while traveling is also difficult – especially driving several hours with little kids and trying to stay awake while not drinking anything. [...]
Last week I shared a link to the Cool Noodle Bowl and then realized I left out the image! I really love this recipe and especially love tossing in Saffron Road chicken nuggets for protein and texture. I highly recommend you give this dish a shot this summer. There are so many great vegetables in [...]
