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 pungency that differentiates it from classic basil pesto. It’s delicious.…

Easy Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe

July 9, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This Easy Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe has a classic well-rounded flavor profile; it’s the perfect balance between sweet, tart, spicy, smoky, and umami flavors. After I started cutting back on carbs, I realized just how much hidden sugar is in so many of our foods. Like ketchup, for example. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s not dessert so it really has no business being that sweet, lol! And yet you wouldn’t believe how much sugar it packs, and guess what? A lot of BBQ sauces on the market have even more sugar than ketchup....

Spiced Blueberry Chutney + The Ploughman’s Lunch

October 9, 2013 by Faith 11 Comments

After making Rye Bread I thought making about a nice homemade jam to go with itsomething sweet, spiced, and fall-like. My mind went to my Spiced Balsamic Concord Jam not only because its such a beauty, but also because this time of year Concords are always on my mind. Not even knowing if I could find Concords here in Kuwait, I decided on something a bit simpler to make, yet still completely flavorful: Spiced Blueberry Chutney. Instead of being just sweet like jam, it has a balanced flavor profile and nice melding of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. Its just as perfect on a turkey […]...

Vegetarian Bolognese

Ouch, I think I just got a splinter in my face!, I muttered. I was not a happy camper. I had been (quite literally) bitten in the face by the spring-cleaning bug and I was tackling that cupboard in the kitchen. You know the cupboard I’m talking about, the one you let go for months telling yourself it really isn’t that bad. You probably have one too…it has random pots, pans, bowls, lids that doesn’t seem to match anything, plastic containers, glass jars of all sizes (why is it that for the life of me I can’t part with a single glass jar?), all manner […]...

Golden Raisin Chermoula Chicken with Bulgur Pilaf

September 29, 2010 by Faith 41 Comments

Chermoula is a marinade or sauce used in Moroccan and other North African cuisines; it is typically used on seafood, but also may be used to flavor chicken and other meats.* Chermoula usually contains garlic, oil, herbs (frequently cilantro), lemon (I’ve seen both pickled lemon and/or lemon juice used), and spices (such as cumin, paprika, and/or cayenne pepper). The bright, fresh flavors in chermoula add a vibrant, refreshing quality and punch of flavor to whatever dish it’s used in. I made a few changes to the traditional chermoula to really make this lovely condiment my own. I added golden raisins for a little sweetness and instead […]...
