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 [...]
Particularly appetizers that involve creamy mozzerella cheese and buttery puff pastry. Not that I discriminate but these are good. They’re fast and easy and you’ll be popping one after another – no lie. I scooped up some puff pastry to make these appetizers in honor of the NFC Championship game two weeks ago. They were [...]
Why is it that I am the only one who likes cauliflower in this house? I don’t just like it – I love it! Raw, cooked, mashed, steamed, you name it there’s no way I don’t like it! When I made chicken tikka the last time I had a head of cauliflower taking up real [...]
Please forgive my absence the last week or so. My day job has had be putting in many many hours at the office and at home we’ve been eating dinners that I’ve made ahead of time and frozen. (Thank goodness for that!). Things should be settled down now, and I am so grateful. Mixed into [...]
I have been dying to share this all week. I was on top of my game this week and made Dorie’s Potato Gratin on Monday night and it was ahhhmazing! Even my kids were gobbling it up, gruyere cheese and all! I also may have cheated and made next week’s recipe (a delicious roast chicken) [...]
I’ve always wanted to give this style of rice a shot. I’ve found that my family is more receptive lately to the idea of rice and other starches in place of bread. That’s a good thing because I get really tired of so much bread! This is my first attempt at an Arabic style rice [...]
