If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, you know I try to be as transparent with my readers as possible, so I’m going to give it to you straight on this: I can’t even begin to tell you how disgusted I was when I first tried Molokhia in the Middle East. The flavor wasn’t bad – it’s earthy, sort-of like spinach, flavor-wise. But texturally, it’s something else altogether. Meaning, it’s slimy as heck....
Cincinnati Chili
Let’s talk Cincinnati for a minute. I had the pleasure of briefly visiting there once. One of my best friends from law school was from Cincinnati, and as tends to be the case when you’re living about 1,000 miles from home for the first time in your life, she talked about Cincy in general and chili in particular. A lot. (I definitely don’t blame her…I remember talking my fair share about Buffalo wings!) We were in law school in Florida, and when she found out there was a Skyline Chili location what she considered to be “nearby”, she drove us there to experience the magic […]...
Kid-Friendly Veggie-Heavy Taco Pie
It’s not every day you see two nine-year-old kids inhale a meal full of veggies and then opt for a second helping instead of dessert (which was chocolate cake), but that’s exactly what my niece and her friend did last weekend. Any meal that has that kind of power is just plain magic....
Pizza Mac and Cheese
It had to be done. Had to. Last week I was talking to a friend; Ramadan was about to end, and she and I were discussing food. (Because really, during Ramadan sometimes food is the only thing you can think of.) So, anyway, I told her Ramadan was ending in a couple days and she said I should enjoy my favorite foods for a week straight. (See how awesome she is? Truly a girl after my own heart.) She said if she were me, she’d be making mac and cheese. I had to laugh; she completely read my mind. Not 10 minutes earlier I had texted […]...
Chili, with a Spanish Flair
Chili, with a Spanish Flair is a great way to mix up your chili repertoire! How many times a year do you make chili? I make it a few times, but always with a different recipe. (I have a common food blogger problem; I tend to think of meals that I make and enjoy but don’t photograph for the blog as wasted opportunities, which means I rarely get to enjoy a good meal – rather, the same good meal – twice.)...
Spiced Sirloin Roast for Two
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you probably know that I’m not the biggest meat eater; in general I really don’t make roasts (except roast chicken, which is a specialty of mine). For the most part I gravitate towards fish or veggie-based meals, so I don’t blame my hubby at all for being completely impressed (actually, shocked is probably a better word) when he came home to this lovely roast beef one day....
Moroccan-Inspired Beef Short Ribs with Jeweled Couscous
Because all of my time lately (spare or otherwise) has been devoted to my book, I feel like all the main dishes I’ve been making are Middle Eastern. And since all of these main dishes that I’ve been enjoying have been for my book, this also means that it’s been forever (or at least what feels like forever) since I shared a hearty main dish on my blog. Ironically, the dish I’m sharing now isn’t for my book but it still is Middle East-inspired (Morocco, to be exact) and it’s the last thing I made for dinner recently that wasn’t for the book....
Cheeseburger Pie
A couple weeks ago I was stuck in a recipe rut. You know how it goes with dinner…sometimes you feel inspired to make a different meal each night for two weeks, and then other weeks you make the same thing for four nights in a row. (Lol, ok, maybe it’s just me who does that.) In any case, Mike and I were both ready for something new when the idea for this recipe struck me one night when I saw the fixings for a salad along with a little bit of leftover meat in my fridge, and a sheet of puff pastry in my freezer....
Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style
Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style is a delicious fusion of the flavors in classic Middle Eastern kebabs and Greek gyros. For some reason, I really don’t make a lot of fusion foods, but I do like to update classic dishes with slight subtle nuances to keep them fresh and exciting. This fusion was born out of necessity to solve a problem I had with making gyros at home (more about that in a second), and it really is a match made in heaven. Kebab is a Middle Eastern dish of ground meat (typically lamb, but beef can also be used) that’s seasoned with parsley, onion, cumin, […]...
Braised Beef & Vegetables
Mike and I divvy the household chores pretty evenly based on what each of us is good at. I do all the cooking, except on occasions few and far between. On the rare off night that I don’t feel like cooking or going out, I ask Mike to cook. He typically responds that me asking him to cook is like him asking me to engineer a computer network. Since there’s truth to that, I let it go and those are typically the nights we order in or eat eggs....
