Roasted Plum Rosé Popsicles with Cardamom

June 22, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Cool and refreshing, these Roasted Plum Rosé Popsicles with Cardamom feature the intensely sweet flavor of roasted plums, rosé wine, and complex, slightly citrusy tang of cardamom. 

Roasted Plum Rosé Popsicles with Cardamom with Bite

If you’re looking for the perfect way to cool down and unwind on a scorching summer day, these Roasted Plum Rosé Popsicles with Cardamom are it. Imagine yourself lounging next to a pool, book in one hand, and one of these popsicles in the other. That sounds like a darn-near perfect summer day to me.…

Cardamom-Spiced Cranberry-Pear Sauce

November 17, 2015 by Faith 4 Comments

This Cardamom-Spiced Cranberry-Pear Sauce is perfect if you want a fresh new twist on a classic favorite. Serve it with turkey dinner or as a fun seasonal topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or toast. Most people only enjoy cranberries in sauce, but not me. I look forward to cranberry season months before those little gems show up at the market....

Cardamom-Spiced Tapioca Pudding with Fresh Mango Sauce

July 8, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

This Cardamom-Spiced Tapioca Pudding with Fresh Mango Sauce makes a light and fresh summer dessert! After Mike’s Mexican mango fiasco, we’ve basically been swimming in mango sauce. There are definitely worse things though, so I can’t complain....

Cardamom Saffron Cake {Inspired by the Kuwaiti Cake Qors Oqaily}

March 2, 2015 by Faith 11 Comments

When Mike and I returned to the U.S. last July after spending a year in Kuwait, it was surprisingly unceremonious for us, which felt weird because spending a year there was definitely life-changing for me in so many ways....

Pineapple Cardamom Coffee Cake with Coconut Crumb Topping

July 22, 2014 by Faith 9 Comments

For years I was the girl who only ordered New York-style coffee cake at coffee shops. Once I saw that mile-high topping on display, I wouldn’t even waste a passing glance at anything else....

Middle Eastern Tahini, Date, and Cardamom Bulgur Wheat Breakfast Bake

May 9, 2014 by Faith 16 Comments

In the Middle East Mother’s Day is in March. Since my husband is – in some ways – quite a typical guy and tends to forget things like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and dentist appointments, I make note of two Mother’s Day dates every year so that my sweet Syrian mother-in-law isn’t forgotten in March and my own mom isn’t forgotten in May. This beautifully aromatic dish is something I’d happily serve to either of them for brunch on their special day....

Vanilla-Cardamom Pear Hand Pies

November 15, 2013 by Faith 22 Comments

I’m one of those people. You know, the people who get an idea stuck in their head and can’t sit still until it’s not just an idea anymore. I need something tangible to come from it. Like the time I woke up with the idea of snack cake stuck in my head. It didn’t take long before my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake came into fruition. Unlike that cake, these little hand-held treats took a bit more thought. All I knew was that “hand pie” was stuck in my head like glue and the idea wasn’t going anywhere until they were made....

Spiced Coffee Cupcakes

January 19, 2010 by Faith 36 Comments

Turkish coffee is very finely ground coffee that’s brewed in a special pot (traditionally a copper pot with a narrow neck) called an ibrik or cezve.  The finely ground coffee is typically spiced with cardamom before brewing, which gives it a very unique flavor.  Sugar can be added to the coffee (depending on personal preference) but milk is never added.  Once the coffee is brewed it’s poured into small cups called fincans, which are similar to espresso or demitasse cups; the dregs settle to the bottom and are left in the cup when the coffee is drunk.  Turkish coffee is almost magical…it’s smooth and velvety […]...

Cardamom-Spiced Mocha

August 2, 2009 by Faith 18 Comments

Cardamom in coffee might sound strange, but cardamom is typically added to Turkish and/or Arabic coffee.  Cardamom is related to ginger, and it has a eucalyptus-like aroma and a warm flavor similar to cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but with lemon-citrusy undertones.  Not only does it add a very complex flavor to coffee, but according to The Herb & Spice Companion, there is some evidence suggesting that cardamom reduces the effects of caffeine in coffee.   I really like the use of cardamom in mocha because all of its flavor complexities pair well with the various flavor notes in the cocoa powder.  And it’s even better […]...
