I happened to be at an Armenian bakery last week to pick up some dessert for my kids’ doctor. I wanted to thank her for her last month’s generosity –by taking her office some sweets and to thank her for treating my cold last month free of charge. Can you believe it? She did not [...]
This was a quick weeknight meal… I decided to make this last night because it was quick, kid-friendly, healthy and most important tasty. But before I share the recipe, I want to share with you some Halloween artwork. As I was uploading my recent pics from our camera, I came across some photos of my [...]
I made this last Friday after my grocery shopping trip… It was too late for dinner so instead I wanted to have something that my husband and I can munch on for a late night “dinner.” How did I arrive to my conclusion of making Armenian Bruschetta? Well, I wanted to use the Armenian loaf [...]
I love cooking with chickpeas. This dish is healthy, kid-friendly, quick and tasty and very filling. Everyone in the family loved it! It is perfect for lunch – filled with lots of flavor, fiber and energy! The best part is that you can make this anytime you want a meatless dish, or do not have [...]
Growing up, I was a very picky… I mean a VERY picky eater. Looking back, I feel like I made my mom struggle so much to make sure I get proper nutrition in me. However, I do remember loving her green been stew, also known as Fassoulia. My favorite part of the dish was the [...]

Lately I have been in the mood for trying new flavors and ingredients. Although, I enjoy Italian, French, Mexican, Spanish… well, what I mean is anything that tastes good… I have been really fascinated by Middle Eastern/Armenian (my background) and Indian cuisine. This dish is a combination of flavors that combine the two together. [...]
This was a quick weeknight dinner when I found out my brother-in-law and sister-in-law wanted to stop by. They did offer to bring food with them, but I had an itch to create something quick. Besides, sometimes ordering food, or stopping by to get food can take longer than when you try making something at [...]
At times I feel more Armenian than others. When I have Watermelon accompanied by Armenian Lavash wrap with feta cheese, it definitely ranks me high up there on the Armenian list. Even though I have resided in Los Angeles, California for most of my life, I was born and raised in Armenia until the age [...]
This is another dish that I grew up having over and over. My mom always made this dish for our family ever since I can remember. I think she would make this because it was healthy, quick and budget friendly. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The most difficult part of this recipe is [...]
