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 [...]
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 [...]
There are two Moroccan meals that I learned first. This is one of them (the other is Moroccan style lentils). Although I now can make any number of tajines and other dishes, chicken with potatoes and preserved lemons brings back really nice memories. It took me many tries to get the spices right and [...]
On the weekends I usually take a little more time to prepare larger meals and favorite foods. For me during the week it’s just too hard to keep up and I’m usually too tired for any major cooking after a day at work. I try and circumvent a lot of this stress by cooking a [...]
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 [...]
After I had my youngest son I became very anemic. I was tired all the time and I felt like every little ounce of energy I had was being sapped out of my system. I chalked this up to having a 3 year old and a newborn but a post-partum visit revealed that my [...]
It didn’t break!! I’ve blogged a few times about my bad luck with cracking tajines. The most recent tajine that I’ve gotten I didn’t take any chances with – doing lots of prepping before actually using it. I very timidly decided to try it out, cooking a chicken tajine on very low temperatures and only [...]
