There are so many things that I make for myself on a near-daily basis that I just don’t think about sharing the recipe for. Silly things. Like this caramelized onion + goat cheese omelet, this cabbage hash + fried eggs, or this pretty little breakfast number. Or an almost-instant, healthy treat (that I promise tastes more indulgent than healthy), like this cherry-chocolate sorbet that can be easily whipped up when a sweet craving strikes....
Pepper and Onion Pasta with Sausage {Giveaway}
I can’t resist picking up a unique (or better yet, strange) food item, and even something that seems as ordinary as pasta is no different. (Food bloggers, I know you get this…everyone else, I know it’s a little weird.)...
Where to Find Middle Eastern Ingredients {Giveaway: 4 Middle Eastern Ingredient Prize Packs, Each with a Signed Copy of My Cookbook}
Today’s post is a fun one. Not only is it a giveaway (four giveaways, actually!), but I’m hoping to be able to convince you to try something that you might not normally try. To step out of your comfort zone and discover something that’s as rich in culture as it is delicious. You never know, maybe you’ll find a new family favorite! In some cases, you might want to try something new, but have no idea where to look for ingredients…...
An Edible Mosaic: Virtual Book Launch Party {Giveaway of Over $1300 Worth of Items!}
I feel so incredibly blessed beyond measure. I have wonderful family and friends, a job I love so much it doesn’t really feel like work, I’m part of an amazingly supportive community of food bloggers, and I have the best readers in the world. And now I have a book that contains a small piece of my heart and soul to hold in my hands and call my own. Truth be told, I’m still pinching myself because the reality of it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet. I am humbled, truly, more than words can express. All I can say is thank you to those […]...
Mujaddara Burghul (And a HUGE Giveaway of My Cookbook + Prize Packs From Bob’s Red Mill!)
Photo (taken by yours truly) of Mujaddara Burghul from my cookbook, An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair. If you’re curious about Middle Eastern food and looking for a good recipe to start with, Mujaddara Burghul, otherwise known as Lentil & Bulgur Wheat Pilaf with Caramelized Onion, is the perfect dish. It’s very healthy with lentils and whole-grain bulgur wheat as its main ingredients. (Since it’s a vegetarian meal, it’s easy on the wallet too!) It couldn’t be simpler to make…if making rice intimidates you, know that bulgur is much more forgiving than rice. And with caramelized onion and the perfect blend of spices, it’s […]...
Hazelnut Cookies {Vegan & Gluten-Free} & A Bob’s Red Mill Giveaway
A friend recently asked me for a gluten-free recipe for cookies. When asked what kind, he said, I don’t know…something nutty…or maybe chocolaty; definitely something that goes well with coffee! I aim to please, and these cookies are all of the above....
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....
Cinnamon Bun Bar Cookies & $70 CSN Giveaway
This post is all about cinnamon and CSN, so first things first, let me start with CSN. It’s an online store that sells just about whatever you’re looking to buy. Spring is on its way and maybe you’re in the market for swing sets for your kids…or perhaps you want some cute new plates for a spring soiree you’re throwing…or maybe your way of celebrating spring is to break out of your winter boots with some cute new shoes…in any case, check out CSN because most likely they have what you need....
Chocolate Giveaway & Recipe for Warm-Spiced Cranberry Jam
With holiday feasts just around the corner, cranberry recipes are abundant. When I made this jam I didn’t have turkey dinner in mind; I was actually thinking more along the lines of breakfast. I wanted something festive and fall-like to spread on toast or stir into a bowl of oats or yogurt. I’ve been using this sweet/tart jam as a breakfast accompaniment, but of course it would also fantastic as part of a turkey meal. When I first started my Halloween Candy-Making Event I promised a chocolate-related giveaway. I wanted do something different with this giveaway, so I thought a little contest would be fun. Another […]...
Giveaway Winner & Tortilla Soup
A huge thank-you to everyone who participated in my last CSN giveaway! The winner is… Congrats to KarenB! Karen please email me and I’ll send out your prize. Tortilla Soup is a great go-to meal to have in your recipe repertoire for a few reasons… It’s really healthy (just be mindful of the toppings you use). It’s easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish. It doesn’t require a lot of chopping – just the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Like any 1-pot meal, there is very little clean up. It feeds an army (and freezes well, if you don’t have […]...
