Easy Rice Pudding Recipe

July 8, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

Rice Pudding in Glasses on Dark Table with White Roses

This Easy Rice Pudding Recipe is rich and creamy with a subtle floral aroma from rose water and nutty crunch from pistachio. When you think of rice pudding, what do you think of? Pre-packaged store-bought tapioca-style rice pudding for school lunches that’s always a little bit on the bland side? Or maybe diner-style rice pudding, laced with cinnamon and studded with raisins, served warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top....

Arabic Breakfast

June 30, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

Arabic Breakfast Spread on Dark Metal Tray

A typical Arabic or Middle Eastern breakfast usually contains a beautiful variety of appetizer-style dishes known as mezze, such as eggs, vegetables, beans, labneh, etc. One of the things I loved most about the time I spent in the Middle East is discovering how tightly interwoven culture and cuisine are. At mealtimes, especially larger meals like lunch and breakfast, everyone gathers around to share the meal and talk and laugh....

Dukkah Recipe (Egyptian Herb and Spice Mix)

Dukkah Spice Mix with Flatbread and Olive Oil on Vintage Tray

This Dukkah Recipe (Egyptian Herb and Spice Mix) is a savory, nutty herb and spice blend that packs a punch of flavor and crunch. Pictured above is my Low Carb Flatbread recipe from The Keto Queens. Paleo Flatbread would also be delicious! When I lived in and visited the Middle East, one of my favorite things to shop for was spices. The spice shops were vibrant; full of heady, exotically-spiced air, a rainbow of colors, and of course all the usual clamor that goes along with your typical lively marketplace....

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe with Easy Homemade Pita Chips

January 29, 2020 by Faith 15 Comments

Close Up of Roasted Red Pepper Hummus in Metal Bowl

Save money and learn how to make this flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe at home in less than 10 minutes! You’ll never want store-bought hummus again! My hubby, Mike, who grew up in the Middle East, doesn’t go for any kind of “flavored” hummus. No crazy additions of things like pumpkin. (At the mention of that, he gave me a shocked/horrified look and muttered, Do people really do that?; my reply, Why yes, yes they do.). And no sundried tomato, pesto, or even roasted garlic (because of course garlic should be raw in hummus!)....

Ma’amoul (Middle Eastern Date Filled Cookies)

January 21, 2020 by Faith 22 Comments

Glass Bowl of Maamoul Cookies on Dark Ornate Wooden Table

Ma’amoul cookies (aka Maamoul) feature a sweet spiced date filling stuffed into a rich, buttery, crisp cookie that’s somewhat similar to shortbread. Different cultures have different rites of passage. Like getting a driver’s license and graduating high school....

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh)

February 20, 2019 by Faith 24 Comments

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh) with Small Bowl of Rice and Vintage Spoons

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh) is a classic Iranian dish of meat stewed with tomatoes, okra, and spices. It’s delicious enough to convert even the most adamant okra haters! Growing up in Upstate New York I never tasted okra until I was a teenager (which could be partly because of geography and partly because of my mother’s huge dislike for it), until one summer when I visited my aunt in North Carolina. We went out for dinner and she ordered fried okra!...

November 3, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Persian Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce with Golden Pilaf on Wooden Table

Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce is all about that rich, velvety, nuanced sauce. It’s slow food cooked with love, and perfect for a unique twist on holiday entertaining.  This year I decided I wanted to feature a beautiful holiday meal that serves just four people. It’s equally appropriate for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or any time you’re having an intimate festive gathering....

Sweet Pepper Chickpea Salad with Mint and Honey-Sumac Vinaigrette

September 11, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Sweet Pepper Chickpea Salad with Mint and Honey-Sumac Vinaigrette Top View Metal Background One Dish

Sweet Pepper Chickpea Salad with Mint and Honey-Sumac Vinaigrette features the tangy bright citrus-like flavor of sumac tempered with honey. Three kinds of bell peppers add color and crunch, and two kinds of fresh herbs make it something truly special. The thing is, I can happily eat salad like this for lunch any day of the year. It makes no difference to me that summer is (unofficially) over. Setting aside for a minute the fact that it’s always summer in Florida (except for about two weeks in January!), I eat hearty salads like this in the winter as well (or at least I did when […]...

Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt)

June 19, 2017 by Faith 8 Comments

Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt) is a dish that’s simple to make, but complex in flavor. This dish is heady with aromatic spices, onion, and garlic, and the green beans take on a nutty flavor after being toasted in olive oil. I don’t think there’s anything more intimate than sharing a meal with someone. Food is so deeply intertwined in who we are…meals our moms made for special occasions growing up will always be special. Holiday foods remain festive in our minds and are reserved for once a year. And there’s nothing quite like the feeling of […]...
