I made a Moroccan Orange Cake for Christmas this year. I had literally half an orange leftover at the end and, in hindsight, should have maybe bought just a couple of extra oranges. But I have just enough to make a couple of Candied Oranges. […]
I made a plethora of cookies for a holiday cookie exchange. Although I spent the entire time knowing that I was going to make Moroccan-inspired food! So, I almost wanted to do a Moroccan-spiced cookie to match. Although, I’ve had a ton of things going […]
I like to have fun with the holidays and use them as an opportunity to make something fun and new sometimes. This year, I went with a Moroccan-inspired Christmas menu. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted a cold salad or a hot salad. Because spinach […]
We’re constantly bombarded with new kitchen appliances. You need an Instant Pot. You’re not a real cook without a Vitamix. How could you not have XYZ kitchen gadget?? Unfortunately, cooking fads are just as prevalent as anything else. We don’t always think of them as […]
All of the Moroccan-inspired Christmas dishes this year revolve around this Chickpeas Tagine. I’ve been eyeing a tagine for a while, now. It’s one of the few culinary pots that I don’t already own. So, I’m absolutely on board with picking one up for this […]

I’m from the West coast and grew up with crab aplenty. Lobster we didn’t have, though! And since now I live in Wisconsin and neither is plentiful, I’m branching out. Especially because one of my local grocery stores sells live lobster. I also like to […]
The other day I made Vermicelli Salad w/ Daikon & Yellow Squash. I ordinarily like to add in avocado with this for a little bit of indulgence. Although I’ve used all of my avocados on Avocado Dip w/ Greek Yogurt & Walnuts. So, I decided […]
I tried my hand at the Dutch Oven Instant Pot for the first time the other day with Instant Pot Dutch Oven Lentils w/ Cauliflower & Tahini (this is NOT sponsored). While I’m not quite convinced that this is a worthwhile investment? I’m pretty fond […]
I am predominantly a vegetarian blog. I grew up in Portland, Oregon home of the liberal punk vegetarians of the nineties. And I almost exclusively stopped eating meat in the early 2000s and have been some form of mostly vegetarian/pescatarian for about two decades, now. […]
