We all wait for Ramadan so we can have some amazing Atayef, They may only make their appearance once a year, but they’re worth the wait. Whether you say Atayef or Qatayef, we can all agree on one thing. They’re not pancakes. They may look similar, but this light and fluffy dessert is the furthest thing […]
Easy Almond Croissant
Croissants are probably my absolute favorite bread. They taste good with anything. I love making lunch sandwiches in them. They taste great with just jam. They’re absolutely amazing as french toast. Literally anything in a croissant is just better. I can even enjoy them just plain. But my absolute favorite way to eat a croissant, […]
Sahlab Pudding
Sahlab Pudding is the best thing on a cold day. I grew up in Denver, Colorado. So the snow was normal. It was always expected, not always welcomed. On the first few snow days of the season, we’d welcome it with excitement and stay home next to the fireplace. We’d play games, and take advantage […]
Red Velvet Cake Cheesecakes
I LOVE cheesecake. I also LOVE Red Velvet Cake But for some reason I’m not a big fan of the two together. This Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake was a game changer! I think it would be so beautiful if the cake and cheesecake were baked separately and then layered. But this is supposed to be […]
Lazy Chicken Pie
My mama used to make this easy chicken pie all the time for us. It comes together so fast and tastes amazing! She was never fond of the cream-based one, so this was her alternative. I’m not mad about it either. It’s crazy how cooking can really remind you of someone. I thought of her […]
Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon Rolls are hands down my favorite dessert. But, they’re hard to make. Baking has always been something I have had to learn. Believe it or not, it did not come to me naturally. I have ruined so many desserts. These cinnamon rolls and my Coconut Cake are probably the few I haven’t. They’re also […]
Manaeesh
Zaatar is something every Arab household has. We love to eat it with olive oil and bread and will serve it at every breakfast. On Sundays, my mom would kick it up a notch and make Manaeesh (Man-Na-ee-Shh). They’re basically mini Zaatar Pizzas. My mom made sure to make them every week, and we always had […]
Chicken Shawarma
Shawarma is as traditional as it gets. When it comes to Arab street food, shawarma takes the lead. Almost every block overseas has some sort of shawarma store. Either that or Falafel. They put the specially seasoned meat or chicken on a large rotating skewer to cook and carve as they need it. I don’t think […]
Meat Stuffed Pita – Arayes
Pita bread is one of my absolute favorite breads. Add to it a perfectly seasoned meat, some tangy molasses, and you have the most amazing lunch or dinner.The best part? It takes under an hour to make, and you can prep the day ahead. That’s what I call the best dinner. I’m not sure when […]
Layali Lebnan
Layali Lebnan is one of my favorite desserts. It’s so easy to make, so versatile, and almost everyone loves it. My mom almost always had a pan in the fridge for me. Since I’ve gotten married, I’ve made it like once. I know, that’s awful. I finally made it again, and now I know why […]
Fridge Organization
Where do I start? When it comes to organization, I’m crazy. I love for everything to have a place, and for all my stuff to be constantly organized. When I organize something I want it to be easy to maintain, and versatile enough that I can play around with it to fit all my needs. […]
Easy Butter Chicken
I LOVE me some good Indian Food. What’s better than an Easy Butter Chicken?! I have a great Curry with coconut milk on my blog, but this kicks its butt. Who says no to heavy cream? Even more than Indian Food, I love FAST Indian Food. This dish comes together in thirty minutes. It tastes amazing. […]
