Mediterranean Couscous Fritters

Almost every Saturday we have a nice family brunch. It usually consists of Bourekas, orange juice, feta and olives, hard boiled eggs and of course freshly chopped salad. Sometimes it’s Israeli chopped salad and sometimes I would take that extra step and make it a Tabbouleh Salad (Recipe HERE) with couscous; A few weeks ago I […]

Romanian Style Kebab in Peppercorn Sauce

Ever since we moved to Canada I haven’t had the chance to eat Romanian Kebabs. These flavorful patties are so good! In Israel you can find it in every grocery store and it is especially good when it’s barbequed. So yeah, it took me three and a half years but I finally decided to make […]

Baked Goodies

Cheese and Olives Savory Scones

Saturday morning. I wake up, make myself a cup of coffee (that is, if my dear husband didn’t already make one for me), go over my emails, Facebook, Instagram, check to see that the kids are still somewhere around and then I start feeling hungry. But really, I have no desire to make something too complicated and […]

Asian Style Tossed Green Peas

Easy PEAzy is what this dish is all about 🙂 I always like to buy something interesting when I go grocery shopping and then when I come back hoe to try and figure out what I can make with it. So I got 2 bags of Sugar Snap Peas and since I never made anything […]
