Our culinary diary
If you peruse our blog, you'll notice that we try to minimize our usage of prepackaged or canned foods. I think that if you showed Selim a can of cream of <fill-in-the-blank> soup, he'd shrivel up like a vampire exposed to garlic and sunlight. Sometimes it's unavoidable and sometimes the convenience outweighs all other factors,... Continue Reading →
One of the best things about writing this blog is the introduction to foods and dishes that I didn't know about beforehand. Today, I learned about chermoula! (Or charmoula - like so many words translated from the original Arabic, this one has more than one spelling.) When we decided to make our Tangy Moroccan Meatballs... Continue Reading →
I don't know if you noticed, but we haven't shared too many posts this month so far (although our Sultan Selim Kofte was amazing & you should check it out!). A two-fold problem - we attempted a few recipes that we thought would be "blog-worthy," that just didn't turn out well, so we definitely couldn't... Continue Reading →
Ok y'all, I know I say things like this all the time, but... This dip is SO easy to make and SO worth it. Bring this to your next family gathering, book club, or just make it for tomorrow's dinner! It's spicy without being overpowering. And everyone loves feta cheese! On that note, now is... Continue Reading →
Gosh, it's been awhile since we've made zoodles. For awhile there we were making, eating, and sharing zoodle recipes every week it seems like. We took a little bit of a hiatus it seems, but don't worry - the zoodles are back! This time, they're topped with a deliciously spicy sauce that makes you think... Continue Reading →
I had a great month of May in terms of a rotation I was doing for school. I loved it and learned so much! On my last day, I wanted to bring a little treat for the staff who taught me and worked with me for the past few weeks. I couldn't decide what to... Continue Reading →
Ok, bear with me now. I know this isn't the first post where I've started with - "this sounds kind of weird, but I promise you it's really good!" This is another one of those. I don't know who originally thought, 💭Hmm... let me combine some eggs and crab and make a dip out of... Continue Reading →
Did you know that there is a week every year devoted to egg salad?? National Egg Salad Week is celebrated on different dates every year, starting on the Monday following Easter. (It all makes sense.) Both Christians and Jews use eggs in their traditional celebrations of Easter and Passover, with the eggs symbolizing new life.... Continue Reading →
I don't know about y'all, but I feel like lunch is kind of a struggle meal. I want to have something that tastes good, is easy to make, is portable to work/school, is pretty healthy, and keeps me full until dinner. That's doable, but sometimes is just a little boring. Lunch just isn't an exciting... Continue Reading →
Have you been introduced to zoodles, the semi-recent food craze and healthy-eater favorite? I love these spiralized "noodles" of zucchini. We've made several dishes with them, and I think they work great as a noodle or grain substitute if you're into that kind of thing. What I don't think however, is that they are "just...
