Fruit Syrup
Hospitality was baked into how we operated in our home in Lebanon.
Summer Corn Salad
I look for excuses not to turn on the stove or oven in the summer. So what are my go-to dishes? Salads!
Squash Patties
Growing up in Lebanon, every time we had stuffed squash and the tender insides were cored out, I looked forward to the next meal even more, because that meant we were having “yeggit koussa” (squash patties).
Chimichurri Sauce
I’m a member of a FB page called, “Mama’s Arabic Kitchen.” A recurring theme on it this month is parsley and what to do with the bumper crop the spring rains have nourished. I have a parsley mini forest in my herb garden!
Grandma’s Oatmeal Cookies
I so enjoy using my mom’s old Betty Crocker Cookbook, because I hear her voice speaking to me as I’m baking some of our family’s traditional recipes.
Lebanese Potato Salad
I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me for my potato salad recipe and I’m always stumped.
