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 [...]
Todays’ meal plan is going to be short and sweet. I have guests coming this weekend and a prep work to do for next week as well as a few new recipes to test out. How are you doing? How have you liked the food so far? In the coming weeks I will be trying [...]
We are almost through the first week of Ramadan, and I’m not sure about you but time is going a lot faster than I thought it would! Today I want to share a few articles from the internet that I have found interesting and beneficial during this Ramadan. If you’ve been overloaded with all this [...]
If you’re fasting this month are you making sure to eat enough fruits and vegetables? Last month American Muslim Mom posted a story that many Muslims actually GAIN weight during Ramadan. How can that be? For many after a day of fasting the foods that fill the table are fried or sugar laden. The recipes [...]
Today is the first day of fasting and I hope that suhoor filled you up! If this is one of the first times you’re fasting, it does get easier as the week goes on. Because Ramadan is in the heat of summer this year make sure that you are drinking a lot of water in the [...]
For as long as I can remember the only thing on my bucket list (the list of things to do before you die) was to have a passport full of stamps. That technically means there’s more than one thing on the list because gathering all those stamps would involve a few trips. I got my [...]
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. [...]
Games, games, and more games! lots of different homemade games for the kids to make
