Arabic Breakfast

June 30, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

A typical Arabic or Middle Eastern breakfast usually contains a beautiful variety of appetizer-style dishes known as mezze, such as eggs, vegetables, beans, labneh, etc.

Arabic Breakfast Spread on Dark Metal Tray

One of the things I loved most about the time I spent in the Middle East is discovering how tightly interwoven culture and cuisine are.

At mealtimes, especially larger meals like lunch and breakfast, everyone gathers around to share the meal and talk and laugh.…

Glass Bowl of Maamoul Cookies on Dark Ornate Wooden Table

Ma’amoul cookies (aka Maamoul) feature a sweet spiced date filling stuffed into a rich, buttery, crisp cookie that’s somewhat similar to shortbread. Different cultures have different rites of passage. Like getting a driver’s license and graduating high school....

Falafel-Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

April 16, 2014 by Faith 16 Comments

I remember the first time I bit into fresh falafel. Mike and I were in Amman, Jordan on our honeymoon, out and about just strolling along arm-in-arm, the way you’d expect people on their honeymoon to do. We passed a guy frying up falafel on a street corner; simultaneously, Mike’s stomach growled and I inhaled deeply, asking what that amazing smell was. You know we had to stop and get some....

Molokhia Waraq

June 5, 2013 by Faith 14 Comments

If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, you know I try to be as transparent with my readers as possible, so I’m going to give it to you straight on this: I can’t even begin to tell you how disgusted I was when I first tried Molokhia in the Middle East. The flavor wasn’t bad – it’s earthy, sort-of like spinach, flavor-wise. But texturally, it’s something else altogether. Meaning, it’s slimy as heck....

Shakriya (Arabic Meat in Yogurt Sauce)

May 4, 2010 by Faith 42 Comments

I’m going to be honest right from the start. This soup really is an acquired taste. The first time I had it, not only did I think the very idea of it was strange (it’s basically yogurt soup), but I didn’t like how it tasted either (it was tangy!). I was able to spend quite a bit of time in the Middle East when my hubby and I first married…and the longer I stayed the more my tastes changed. It was right around the time I started enjoying slimy green soup that I also started to like Shakriya. Even though Mike and I no longer live […]...
