Baba Ganoush Recipe

June 14, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

Creamy with a complex smoky, garlicky, lemony, slightly nutty flavor, this Baba Ganoush (roasted eggplant dip) recipe will blow your mind. I learned how to make this dip in Syria and it’s been one of my favorite easy appetizers ever since!

I remember my first bite. Carefully, I ripped off a small piece of Arabic flatbread, shaped it into a little scoop, and dipped into the creamy dip decorated with glistening swirls of golden olive oil and flecks of bright green parsley.

Everyone around me looked at me eagerly, smiling, and seeming to collectively hold their breath as they waited to hear my response.…

Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread

May 10, 2021 by Faith 19 Comments

Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread combines the creaminess of hummus and the rich complexity of French onion soup for the perfect snack. I’ve been finding myself making fusion-type dishes more frequently lately. To name a few, Indian-spiced burgers with tamarind chutney and fresh mint, rolled up in hot naan instead of being sandwiched between a bun. Greek-flavored enchiladas, with garlicky marinated chicken, feta, tomato sauce, and beautiful briny Kalamata olives. Boeuf Bourguignon served pot pie-style, enrobed in a melt-in-your-mouth tender, flaky pastry crust....

December 28, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

And if you use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken it takes just 30 minutes to whip up from start-to-finish! I was late to the game when it comes to Buffalo Chicken Dip.

This Apple Baked Brie Recipe features gooey, melted brie cheese topped with an easy homemade sweet spiced Apple Chutney for the perfect 15 minute appetizer!
