Cauliflower Hash + A Beautiful Experience at a Syrian Restaurant in Kuwait
Syrian or Lebanese?, Mike asked me late one evening, wondering what I was in the mood for. Syrian! A glimmer in my eyes, I replied instantly, already excited at the prospect. (Side Note: Something you might not know about Mike is that he was born here in Kuwait and left the country as a young child with his family to live in Syria – his mother’s homeland – after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in the early 1990s. He still has several childhood friends here.) That night, Mike and I were going out to dinner with one of his friends that he had reconnected with […]...
Roasted Vegetable Crustless Quiche with Basil & Pine Nuts {Cuisine Nicoise Cookbook Giveaway}
There are certain recipes you see that you expect to have certain ingredients just from reading the title. Like macaroni and cheese. I always expect macaroni, and I always expect cheese…but that’s not necessarily true. Take cauliflower “macaroni” and vegan “cheese”; true it doesn’t taste exactly like the original, but still, it’s macaroni and cheese-ish and delicious anyway. Or fudge. I hear the word fudge and my mind goes to chocolate. But flavors like cappuccino, cinnamon bun, and peanut butter show that isn’t the case. Chocolate obviously doesn’t have to be included in a fudge-like confection for it to be tasty. And then there’s quiche. […]...
White Cheddar Muffins & A Giveaway {$50 VISA Giftcard!}
Where do you get your recipe inspiration? The other day I was at the grocery store. Nothing fancy (there still isn’t even Whole Foods or a Trader Joe’s in my area, if you can believe that!), just my regular grocery store (picking up the bread that I mentioned in this post, actually). When I saw them looking up at me....
Greek-Inspired Omelet
A couple weeks ago I bought a brick of Kefalotiri cheese to make Saganaki (recipe coming soon!) and I had some leftover cheese. Kefalotiri is a hard, dry Greek cheese made of sheep or goat’s milk. Inside it’s dappled with small, irregular holes, and it has a sharp aroma and a tangy, salty taste. To me, the texture and flavor of Kefalotiri is very similar to Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano, so either of those might work well as a substitute. Chives grow wild in Greece, so when one of Mike’s colleagues was sweet enough to give me a large bag of chives (thank you, Thom!) […]...
Spaghetti Quiche with Roasted Asparagus
After a long, cold winter I look forward to seeing asparagus abound in the market…it means spring is here! When asparagus is in season I’m always looking for new recipes to use it in, so when Natasha announced that this month’s 5 Star Makeover Challenge was pasta, I knew I wanted to incorporate asparagus somehow. Quiche came to mind and I envisioned a golden spaghetti crust filled with a light quiche and roasted asparagus, and topped with bubbling cheese. The crust didn’t turn out as planned…the spaghetti wasn’t golden or crust-like. Instead, the pasta incorporated into the quiche filling (think spaghetti frittata). I think next […]...
Welsh Rabbit (With Spinach & Poached Egg) & An Announcement
I usually spend Saturday afternoons with my 6-year-old niece. I take her to the library and then out for a coffee (hot cocoa for her ;) ) and occasionally shopping, and we both have a blast. She’s so cute, whenever I see her she tells me how many days are left until next Saturday (what she calls our “girls’ day out”). A couple weeks ago we were at the library (she was playing Miss Spider and I was thumbing through a stack of old cookbooks), when I happened upon a recipe for Welsh Rabbit (also known as Welsh Rarebit). I’ve heard of Welsh Rabbit before, but I never actually […]...
