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 [...]
Were you one of those crazy people standing outside at 3am this morning waiting to score a deal on the latest electronic toy for Christmas? Not me. This year I decided we would try something else. I’ve shared how important travel is to our family. It’s more than just a good time, it’s an opportunity [...]
This weekend MarocBaba and I are going away for our anniversary and to cover a city that I grew up in love with. It was the closest really big city and my aunt, who lived there, would take me every summer for a week or two to “babysit” her kids. But really, we just did [...]
If your kids are like my kids they are super cute… Everyone knows your kids are cute and therefore they are constantly buying your cute kids toys. And then some more toys. So when it comes time for mom and dad (or Santa – hey you never know) to get them something well, [...]
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. [...]
Sixteen was a big year for me. I got my drivers’ licence, my first passport and my first trip out of the country. Most kids pine for their drivers licence, to open up all kinds of new opportunity and freedom. For me, my first passport held that same promise. For years and years I dreamed, [...]
