Peach Burrata Salad with Bacon, Butter Lettuce, Basil, and Pistachio

August 24, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Peach Burrata Salad with Bacon, Butter Lettuce, Basil, and Pistachio comes in a clutch during the summer months when you have more fresh peaches than you can devour! This salad is a lovely balance of sweet and savory flavors, and creamy and crunchy textures.

I’ve been a little peach-crazed lately, buying them by the bagful and then trying to eat my way through them! When they’re in season, a perfectly ripe, sweet, juicy peach is bliss.

My favorite way to eat them is just as they are. However, when I buy more than I can eat out-of-hand, I have to get a little creative.

That’s when I start thinking of other outside-the-box uses for peaches.…

Cilantro Pesto Recipe (Low Carb, Keto, Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)

August 6, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This vegan Cilantro Pesto Recipe is fresh and bright-flavored with cilantro and nutty with pistachios, and is a delicious change from a traditional pesto. Oh, pesto. It’s one of those things that I truly love, but forget about until it’s all I can think about. (The cravings are real once basil is in season.) If I played it right, I’d spend the final days of summer every year putting the last of the fresh basil to good use and freezing it so I could enjoy it throughout the rest of the year. And have you ever tried cilantro pesto? It’s bright and fresh with a […]...

Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes

December 1, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

These Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes are sweetly aromatic and soft-textured; from start-to-finish they’ll be ready in just an hour, and it’s perfect if you want just a small batch of something sweet. This time of year has the tendency to get so busy. With Thanksgiving over, our focus turns to Christmas and all the preparation that goes along with it. But a moment of peace, however brief, is a most welcome retreat in December. Even if it’s just taking an hour to make these cupcakes and then enjoying one with a cup of tea. I can’t think of anything more comforting than the smell of something sweet […]...

Thick & Creamy Vanilla-Pistachio Drink

This drink is incredibly rich; if you’ve ever had a European hot chocolate, the thickness of this drink will probably remind you of that. But hot chocolate wasn’t my inspiration…I had sahlab in mind!...

Pistachio-Chai Muffins

A couple weeks ago I happened to briefly mention to my mom that I had never seen The Sound of Music. (How does this come up randomly in conversation?, you ask. Well, as it were, we were driving through the countryside with my niece and I happened to nonchalantly say Look, there’s a deer – a doe! And then my nine-year-old niece broke into that song that even I’m familiar with, although I’ve never seen the musical.)...

Ricotta-Pistachio Toast

January 11, 2013 by Faith 12 Comments

January is a month for reflection. Looking back on things past, and looking forward with hope and optimism to what lies ahead. For many of us, January 1 brings a laundry list of changes: new diet, new workout routine, newly organized pantry, closet and desk, etc. Then by January 31 few of any of these changes have become permanent habits. Why? I think it’s because we’re too hard on ourselves. We want to make that perfect version of ourselves a reality overnight, all at once, when the true reality is that baby steps toward our goals are much more likely to have lasting impact. And […]...

Syrian Ice Cream (Éma’a)

September 9, 2010 by Faith 58 Comments

At the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan comes a three-day holiday called Eid al-Fitr, which means The Festival of Fast-Breaking. People greet each other by saying Eid Mubarak (Blessed Festival), and during this time charity is given to needy families, gifts are given to children, and people get dressed up and visit family and friends. As you can imagine, food of every kind (but especially sweets) is abundant....
