Small Batch Easy Blueberry Jam with Ginger and Lemon is a delicious no-added-sugar alternative to sugary store-bought jams, and bonus, it whips up in just 20 minutes!

I’m a coffee drinker in the morning, but for a mid-afternoon break, tea is typically my go-to. This routine is very soothing; I find the whole process of picking a flavor and steeping tea relaxing. Paired with toast topped with cottage cheese, Small Batch Easy Blueberry Jam with Ginger and Lemon, fresh mint, and a little lemon zest, your afternoon just got a whole lot better.…

Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese

July 24, 2017 by Faith 3 Comments

Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese transforms a classic caprese salad into a full meal that strikes the right balance between being satisfying but not overly heavy. One of the best things about summer is the food. Whether your favorite is corn, watermelon, peaches, green beans, or tomatoes, there seems to be some new local produce popping up at the farmers market every week. I, for one, am hard-pressed to choose a favorite....

Mango Meyer Lemon Margarita Mocktails

May 4, 2016 by Faith 9 Comments

Mango Meyer Lemon Margarita Mocktails are the perfect family-friendly non-alcoholic drink for a party! Just because I don’t drink alcohol doesn’t mean I’m not into cutsie little drinks. In fact, if the Shirley Temple wasn’t over-the-top sweet and entirely sugar-laden, it would probably be my drink of choice at restaurants....

Tangy Arugala Salad with Sumac (Salatat Jarjeer)

July 10, 2015 by Faith 7 Comments

Rocket lettuce is the star of this Tangy Arugala Salad with Sumac (Salatet Jarjeer) that I learned how to make in Kuwait! I’m not a long-time fan of peppery “rocket” lettuce. In fact, it’s only within the past couple years that I started to enjoy arugala. In Kuwait arugala is widespread, which isn’t surprising because arugala thrives in sandy soil. When Mike and I lived there, he had a habit of ordering from his favorite Persian restaurant (which was literally a two-minute walk from where we lived) about once a week. They always included a few bags full of arugula with our kebabs, and since […]...

Tomato-Simmered Lemon and Oregano-Scented Bison Meatballs

October 16, 2014 by Faith 5 Comments

On our dinner table growing up, the most unusual meat to be found was venison. (Which my sister and I never liked, not only because of its gamey flavor, but also because the thought of eating Bambi didn’t sit well with us.) I know that’s probably crazy to some of you who eat a whole gamut of meat....

Classic Lemon-Scented Blueberry Muffins whip up in 30 minutes for a crowd-pleasing breakfast or snack. It’s funny the things we miss when we’re away from home....

Sweet Pea Salad with Scallion, Bacon, and Lemon Cream Dressing

May 16, 2014 by Faith 5 Comments

Sweet Pea Salad with Scallion, Bacon, and Lemon Cream Dressing is a quick, easy, and beautiful spring side dish! When I think of spring – as far as food goes – green peas immediately come to mind. I think it’s because green peas are not only one of my favorite springtime foods, but also because they remind me of the green buds on trees. And if you live in a place where it snows, you will know exactly what I mean when I say that buds on the trees in spring are a most welcome sight....

Lemon-Vanilla Almond Cake {Paleo}

May 2, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

Paleo Lemon-Vanilla Almond Cake 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 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.)...

Limonana (Middle Eastern Frozen Mint Lemonade)

October 14, 2013 by Faith 67 Comments

It’s October. It may or may not be snowing profusely where you are. (Although I’m not there now, where I come from, it more than likely is snowing profusely!) I realize that. So what am I doing posting a frozen beverage?...

Lemony Chickpea + Herb Wheat Berry Salad

August 28, 2013 by Faith 13 Comments

First I have to thank all my wonderful readers who sent me emails, messages, or comments on my big announcement that was hidden at the bottom of my last post. If you didn’t catch it, Mike and I moved to Kuwait. We are thrilled to be starting a new chapter of our lives and I am excited to bring you updates as we explore our new home. Can I just say that I have the best readers ever? Ok, so let’s talk about this salad....
