Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe

April 9, 2021 by Faith 12 Comments

In this Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe, the chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor of wheat berries is accented with tangy lemon, rich olive oil, and zippy herbs. Chickpeas bump up the protein and make it a filling, nutritious lunch or side dish.

I’ve always loved hearty salads! Beans, grains, and green vegetables are some of my favorite additions to salads, not only because they’re satisfying and nutrient-dense, but also because they’re sturdy enough to keep well for a few days in the fridge.…

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?...

This Classic Blueberry Muffins Recipe whips up in 30 minutes and yields soft, tender muffins that are studded with sweet blueberries and faintly scented with lemon for a crowd-pleasing breakfast or snack.

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 10 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....

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.)...

Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

May 1, 2013 by Faith 18 Comments

There was this cute little café that I used to frequent with a friend for lunch. It was just this hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but it was decorated in a charming, eclectic way inside. The food was quirky and full of charm too....
