Using herbs and spices normally used for mahshi (Egyptian stuffed cabbage) he came up with this delicious recipe. The flavour blended so well together that I used…

Sopaipillas
This past week was quite intense and reminded me that as a mother we should be more active, mindful and conscious. That we should set an example to our little ones of how we should treat each other and the environment; that we need to work hard for what we believe in. Because I’ve been…
Sopa de Habas: Fava bean soup

Hummus
Featuring a simple mezze dish to celebrate the beginning of Ramadan! Although widely popular, many tend to buy this spread instead of making it at home, which is really sad because the taste of home-made hummus is far superior than the store-bought kind! Additionally, it’s very easy to make and healthier since you can control…

Basic Quinoa
Hope your week is going well! I recently received a question from a reader asking about quinoa, and I thought it would be a great idea to write a quick post on it. Quinoa is an extremely versatile grain-like crop from South America (mainly the Andean region). Enjoyed both hot or cold, it pairs nutty…

Hope you are having a good week. Here is a post on a warm little side dish. Can you believe December is already here? During fall and winter I like to have comforting food that will make me feel as warm and cozy as a soft-knit sweater. This chickpea dish did just that! The earthy…
