Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary: An Easy Breakfast or Dessert

September 6, 2016 by Faith 17 Comments

I’m thrilled to share #mydailysiggis story along with a few tips and tricks for managing this busy time of year, and my Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary recipe makes an easy, elegant breakfast or dessert.

On any given day when I check my email, I’m likely to get multiple messages saying something along the lines of “time flies!” or “I can’t believe that summer (or fall, or winter, or spring) is nearly over!” or “soon enough it’ll be Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or New Year’s, or Memorial Day)!” or “it’s been forever since we caught up!” I swear it feels like time moves faster now than when I was a kid.…

Crispy Baked Kale Phyllo Triangles with 3-Ingredient Feta Yogurt Dip

January 9, 2015 by Faith 21 Comments

The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean we’re done entertaining. There’s always something to celebrate and if there’s one thing I think we can all agree on about a party, it’s that there should be food. But yeah, maybe food that’s a little lighter because the holidays did just end and let’s face it, many of us probably need to cut back just a bit on indulgence right now. We don’t have to sacrifice flavor though!...

Green Pea, Baby Potato, and Cauliflower Curry

September 10, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

When it comes to Indian spice mixes, I have to admit that curry powder typically isn’t on my list of favorites; instead, garam masala spice mix is my much-preferred go-to. (Garam masala makes a perfect dish of Lamb Tikka Masala or Dal Makhani/Butter Lentils!)...

An Old Palestinian Potato Home Remedy for Tummy Troubles

March 27, 2013 by Faith 25 Comments

The last time Mike and I were in the Middle East I came down with stomach bugs three different times in 40 days. That’s more times than I’ve been sick with tummy troubles during the rest of my adult life combined (other than that trip, I only remember having stomach flus twice since being a kid!). Lucky for me, my mother-in-law is well-versed not only in cooking, but also in home remedies, many of which very effectively use food as medicine. As Hippocrates said, Let thy food by thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food....

Yogurt Mousse with Honey and Fresh Figs

August 19, 2012 by Faith 23 Comments

This Yogurt Mousse with Honey and Fresh Figs recipe balances a sweet and slightly tangy, airy mousse with fresh sweet figs. A while ago, a sweet friend me a copy of a book he thought I’d enjoy, called Mourad: New Moroccan by Mourad Lahlou. My friend knows me well because I swooned over this book the instant I opened it....

Roasted Corn with Indian-Spiced Yogurt Sauce

August 24, 2010 by Faith 45 Comments

At the peak of corn season when fresh, local corn is at its finest, my favorite way to eat it is steamed on the cob. I may add a touch of salt or butter, but other than that it needs nothing else. After I’ve had my fill of eating corn on the cob this way for countless meals, I like to switch it up a little and look for different ways to make it. This dish was inspired by a recipe I came across last winter in an Indian cookbook that I had bookmarked to make during corn season. The sauce has deep flavor from the onions and complexity from the spices. It’s creamy and looks absolutely indulgent, […]...

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 […]...

Pumpkin Yogurt Pound Cake 2 Ways

October 1, 2009 by Faith 19 Comments

The first holiday Brandy and I are celebrating for our All Through the Year Cheer Event is Halloween! To Brandy and I, Halloween says apples and pumpkins, so this month we’ll feature several recipes with those ingredients. (For some reason, Halloween always puts me in the mood to watch the first Harry Potter movie…I think because of the scene where they show the dining hall of Hogwarts all decked out with pumpkins!) The first recipe I’m featuring is a Pumpkin Yogurt Pound Cake. This recipe is actually a 2-for-1, since I used the same batter to make two completely different cakes. The first cake is […]...

Beef Biryani Stuffed Inside Basmati Rice

September 18, 2009 by Faith 27 Comments

Not long after we married, my husband introduced me to pilaf-style biryani, one of his favorite rice dishes that has meat and veggies cooked together with the rice; topped with toasted almonds or other nuts, it is really delicious. For the longest time that’s the only form of biryani we ever made. Then one evening at a Pakistani restaurant we ordered biryani and the rice came out in a dome-like shape, with the actual biryani nowhere to be found. Once we dug into the rice we saw that it was stuffed with the biryani. This dish was so beautiful and impressive, I immediately knew I wanted to recreate it […]...
