Shrimp Chraime – A Morrocan Dish with a Twist

Chraime is a traditional Moroccan dish. It is fish cooked in tomato based sauce. It’s spicy and has a dominant taste of cilantro which I love, and it is one of my favorite dishes in the world.

Cakes and Cookies

Blueberry Banana and Cinnamon Muffins

Once again I had to save a bunch of blueberries from their misery in the fridge 🙂 It was a Saturday morning and the kids were craving something yummy, and frankly, so was I.

Soups

Tomato Soup with Rice

My son was practically begging me for a tomato soup, but the weather wasn’t right. A tomato soup is something you eat for comfort on a cold evening or a rainy day (not to say snowy day).

Cakes and Cookies

Tahini Cookies or Sesame Flavoured Cookies

If you like the taste of Sesame or Halva, you will LOVE these. When we used to own a restaurant I made these cookies and they were a hit. Not only that they melt in your mouth, they are also easy to make.

Chicken with Rice – A Whole Meal in One Pot

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just fill a pot with ingredients, let it cook and have a whole meal? I mean no side dish, no main course, the whole meal in one pot.

Salads

Potato Salad – The Best Version

Potato salads have so many versions. I never know which version is the original one, but if I think about it, It doesn’t really matter because they are all so good. I just love potatoes!

Gluten Free Vegetable Quiche With Potato Crust- A Colorful Dish

A colorful veggie quiche, that’s what I made last Friday. And you know what’s the best thing about it other than having veggies in it to add some color? The fact that it’s gluten-free.
