Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Limonana recipe (Middle Eastern Frozen Mint Lemonade) is sweet, tart, and refreshing, and perfect for cooling down with on a hot day!
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?…
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. It’s funny the things we miss when we’re away from home. When Mike and I were in Kuwait, I was surprised by which sights and smells triggered a memory....
This Chicken Caprese Recipe with Lemon and Thyme transforms a classic Caprese salad into a flavorful meal! It 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....

All opinions are mine alone. #TeaProudly #TeaProbiotics #CollectiveBias 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 […]...
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 […]...
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....
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.)...
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....
Last weekend I had big plans for the gigantic bag of organic lemons that had taken up residence on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Pushing thoughts of lemon bars, lemon curd, candied lemon peel, lemon sorbet, and lemon pie out of my head, I decided on lemon marmalade. Since the title of this post wasn’t “Lemon Marmalade” you can probably guess that something went wrong along the way....
Growing up I had weird tastes for a kid. Of course there were a few normal kid-repellers that I didn’t like (such as Brussels sprouts and sauerkraut), but there were also a few that I did enjoy, namely, beets. (Beets are a funny thing…I’ve found that most babies love them, most kids hate them, and most adults will eat them. What a vicious cycle!)...
