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. […]
Pantry Organization
One of the keys to enjoyable and easier cooking/baking is an organized working environment. Things go so much quicker and smoother if you’re organized and have everything you need. I found that the best way to do that is to have my pantry organized. Keep in mind that this system works for me, but it […]
Date Cake
I’m probably going to get this post up before the salad, just because so MANY of you are asking for it. Today was my first ever Live on Instagram and I absolutely loved it! It was truly a blast! I made this Date Cake that my grandma taught me and it was a huge hit. I […]
International Food Bloggers Conference 2017 and Hareesa Cake
It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I missed a step walking downstairs a year ago and it seemed to have injured a joint in my back. Lately, it’s decided to give me a lot of trouble, but after some therapy, I think we’re on the road to recovery. Anyways, I haven’t found very much […]
Maamoul – Semolina Date Cookies
Hey, everyone! So I know lately I’ve been a little absent and not so on time with the posts. I’m really trying to figure out how to be efficient with this blogging thing. It’s been a hectic few months, but I’m getting into the drift of things. Anyways, Eid is around the corner, so I […]
Kabseh, Kabsa, Machboos
Growing up I was always the kid in the family that preferred home cooked food over fast food. If you were to ask one of my siblings whether they wanted rice and chicken at home or Chick-fil-A, they would almost always choose Chick-fil-A. For me, a home cooked meal beats anything you can buy. Not […]
