I prepared this for a weekend lunch when I wanted to use up all the veggies in my fridge. The avocado cream from my kibbeh post and the cooked tomato pulp (remains from a tomato sauce that I had prepared from the night before) were a great accompaniment to serve with some toasted pita pockets. [...]
Do you remember the Parsley Garlic Butter Sauce from my previous post? I was able to sneak it into my pasta dish and make another meal for my family. I was not planning on sharing the recipe, but my husband really liked it and the only way I will remember to make it again is [...]
I love pasta! I love it for its convenience, versatility and friendliness. I can have it pretty much every day, but I try to limit to once a week. If I am running low on time, or when I am trying to save items from the fridge, pasta can act as my savior. If you’re [...]
Here is a fun way of having chicken – with tandoori bbq sauce. I was inspired to make this dish because my hubby loves tandoori chicken. I am glad I made it since he really enjoyed the flavors of the sauce on the chicken. My only comment is that you can totally skip the blinis [...]
Knock. Knock… Hope you have not left. I missed all of you very much. It’s been too long since my last post. I have lots of reasons why it took me too long to come back… shopping, holidays, New Year, family, kids, work, stress, laziness, sadness, confusion… should I say more? Happy New Year even [...]

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 [...]
Many of you know what an avid fan I was watching the Next Food Network Star this season. Originally rooting for a friend to win, after her departure I then became totally and madly in love with Aarti Sequeria, known as Aarti Paarti. Her Indian inspired dishes with a twist have given me a new [...]
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 [...]
