What does comfort food mean to you?

For me, it’s typically family-style dinners that my mom made when my sister and I were young. Meals like pot roast, meatloaf, and roast chicken with side dishes like green beans, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and squash. You know, foods that take all day to cook and make the whole house smell amazing. Meals that nourish your body and soul.…

Marinated Chicken Salad with Apple

September 23, 2021 by Faith 16 Comments

This recipe for Marinated Chicken Salad with Apple features juicy, flavorful grilled chicken that’s marinated with apple juice, onion, fresh herbs, and spices. It’s absolutely perfect in a fall-inspired salad with apple, pecans, and brie cheese. I admit that my husband Mike is without a doubt the grillmaster in our house. He’s very particular about the grilling process and basically has it down to a science. Which is why it was really strange when one day when I grilled (for like the second time, ever), he asked me how I made the chicken taste so good. I had to laugh because I knew there was a […]...

July 5, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Shish Tawook Recipe features tender, juicy chicken that’s marinated in a spiced yogurt, lemon, and garlic mixture and then grilled to perfection. When I lived in Syria, I remember buying incredibly delicious pre-marinated Shish Tawook from a local butcher. It wasn’t fancy. It came in a plastic bag with the open end tied into a knot. The marinade had a pretty pinkish color flecked with spices and pieces of garlic. It smelled divine....
