I’ll be honest—I was never a flan person. Every flan I’d ever tried either came from a box of powdered mix or tasted so eggy it reminded me more of a frittata than dessert. So imagine my surprise when a relative who openly admits she hates cooking served me the creamiest, silkiest homemade flan I’d […]
Tahini Salad – Salata Bil Tahini
Tahini Salad ranks pretty high up on my list of favorite salads. So I’m the kind of person that has to have a salad with dinner. It adds such a nice freshness to a meal and honestly completes any dinner. This specific salad is one of my favorites because it pairs well with almost anything. […]
Zahra Bi Laban
Zahra Bi Laban or Zahra O Laban translates to Cauliflower in yogurt. It is such a hearty dish and the perfect dinner especially on a cooler night. It’s made with fried cauliflower florets (or baked!) and tender lamb. You can also use beef, or even chicken. Growing up we always made it with tender cooked […]
Date Swirl Coffee Cake
I absolutely adore the Panera Bread Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake. The cake itself has the perfect crumb and is just the right amount of sweet. I recreated something similar to it but with a soft date filling instead. Sometimes I have an idea and I execute it and it’s a disaster. Other times I have […]
Authentic Maklouba
Maklouba is a traditional Middle Eastern Rice Dish that literally translates to Upside Down in arabic. It gets its name because of the way it’s made. You layer all the meat or chicken and vegetables in the pot with the rice and once it’s cooked it’s flipped upside down onto a platter. As much as […]
Lotus Cheesecake
Lotus cheesecake. TikTok, IG. Just everywhere. I love Lotus cookies, but within limits. Last year there was a trend with Lotus Cookies and Cookie Butter on literally everything and I just couldn’t do it. They’re both really good but super sweet and can be very overpowering. But, I still love them. So this year I […]
Knafeh
Authentic Knafeh or Kunafa holds so many memories. 😁 This past summer we went back to Amman for the first time in 6 SIX years. It feels like a lifetime. And in some ways it really is. We were so blessed to be able to visit and see family we hadn’t seen in a long […]
Halawet El Smeed, Semolina Pudding, حلاوة السميد بالجبنة
I know there’s a stigma going around about how bloggers write their life story before a recipe. But I promise you, this one is worth it. I feel like knowing how special a recipe is makes me so much more inclined to make it. After all, it’s not like I’m sharing a Tuna Casserole and […]
Halawit El Jibn
Halawit El Jibn is one of my favorite desserts. These sweet cheese rolls are so delicate, rich, and taste amazing. This dessert is definitely a labor of love, but after making it time and time again, I have truly perfected it. I believe there are many right ways to make something. I personally have made […]
Mujadara – Lentils and Rice
Mujadara is such a simple dish, one that was made so much more often when times were also much simpler. It’s a classic arab dish made from rice and lentils. You can also make it using bulgur. It’s typically topped with crispy fried onions and served with yogurt and a simple arabic salad. Mujadara used […]
Sfeeha – Arabic Meat Pies
Sfeeha. This simple and classic meat pie is so versatile. Serve it for breakfast. Serve it as an appetizer. Or even make a salad and serve it as a dinner. It’s one of my go tos for an easy and quick dinner. And I almost always have a batch of them in my freezer. It’s […]
Classic Cheesecake
This cheesecake. Oh. My. God. You will never have a cheesecake as good as this cheesecake. If you’ve watched Friends, then you’ve probably seen the episode where Rachel and Chandler eat cheesecake off the floor because it was that good. Well, this cheesecake is that good. I’d eat it off the floor any day. This […]
