Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins

November 10, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Aromatic with orange and spices, this Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins is the perfect balance of sweet and savory! The secret ingredient that takes it over the top is a little splash of orange blossom water right before serving.

Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins with Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens

In keeping with my exotic, intimate holiday meal, this one of the side dish stars of the show. Some kind of pilaf is a necessary component along with my Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce; it acts as a bed to soak up all that glorious stew-like liquid.…

10-Minute Cinnamon-Almond Mocha Pudding

July 8, 2016 by Faith 7 Comments

10-Minute Cinnamon-Almond Mocha Pudding is a beautiful pairing of simple flavors. In May, Mike and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary in Costa Rica. We weren’t there for long, just enough time to take in some stunning views, relax a bit, get a taste of the regional cuisine, do a little local shopping, and explore a coffee plantation....

Easy Homemade Vanilla Almond Lattes

January 29, 2016 by Faith 11 Comments

Disclosure: I’m sharing #beyondordinary in my life as part of a Sahale Snacks® sponsored series for Socialstars™. Try these Easy Homemade Vanilla Almond Lattes instead of hitting up your favorite café! As of late, I have come to terms with the following regarding myself and coffee: As an adult, it turns out I actually am a coffee drinker. I don’t like my coffee super strong and straight-up the way I drank it in law school (basically for rocket fuel); instead, I much prefer a medium roast brewed in a French press with a splash of whole milk or if I’m feeling indulgent, half and half. […]...

Breakfast Pineapple and Pearl Barley Pilaf

September 11, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

This Breakfast Pineapple and Pearl Barley Pilaf will fuel up your morning! One of the nice things about the change of weather (which hasn’t happened in full force yet here in Northern Virginia, but the temps have definitely started to cool down pleasantly), is that there are less bugs. Now, let me say, although ants in my kitchen are enough to send me into a two-hour cleaning frenzy and I really can’t do camping because of how much I hate the fact that I can never just get clean, bugs never really bothered me much. That is, until I got to Virginia. Here we might […]...

Small Glass Dishes of Brown Rice Pudding Recipe with Spoon on Top of One Dish

This Creamy Almond Brown Rice Pudding Recipe is rich and flavorful, and comes together in just 20 minutes thanks to a secret ingredient! It’s been a while since I talked about our pudding obsession. Our obsession hasn’t gone anywhere, but I don’t want to bombard and overwhelm you with pudding, of all things. That would just be weird....

Lemon Almond Cake Recipe (Paleo)

May 2, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

This paleo Lemon Almond Cake Recipe has a dense, but moist and tender crumb, and is sweetly aromatic with vanilla and lemon. When I was younger, I hated any and all lemon-flavored desserts with a passion. Lemon bars, lemon meltaway cookies, and even lemon meringue pie were all on my “avoid at all costs list”. (But oddly enough, I was a big fan of super sour lemon-flavored WarHeads candy – does anyone else remember those? Incidentally, I consider this proof positive that there is no rhyme or reason to kids’ tastes.)...

Apple-Almond Streusel Muffins

October 11, 2013 by Faith 15 Comments

Have I ever told you about my mom’s apple pie? It’s killer. She always makes it deep-dish style (like Chicago pizza). Sometimes she’ll make it with a double crust and sometimes she’ll make it with what she calls a “French crumble topping”, and her thick apple layer is perfectly spiced and sweetened. It is hands-down the best apple pie. In the world. (Tall claim, but I’m sticking to it…but I won’t argue if you tell me the same about your mom’s pie.)...

Nutty Biscotti {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}

December 15, 2012 by Faith 8 Comments

Where you live, does it snow for Christmas? It used to snow here religiously every year. (Actually, I remember being a kid and trick-or-treating in the snow on Halloween some years!) Alas, we haven’t been guaranteed a white Christmas for the past four years or so. Which is a crying shame, really…there’s just something about a blanket of white that makes Christmas feel so special....
