Moroccan Influenced Chili with Chickpeas and Minted Couscous
The flavors of Morocco make for an excellent twist on traditional chili, and it can be made in a slow cooker. Affiliate links are used in this post to link to items I am discussing. Sorry for the silence! It has been a crazy week. Conferences (which means baking or cooking for the teachers, in…
Chorba (Moroccan Soup of Chickpeas, Vermicelli and Vegetables)
When I chose my island for my kitchen, my builder thought I was crazy for picking such a large one. Clearly he is not a cook, because there is just no such thing as too much counter space in the kitchen. I am a cluttered person, and being able to always have counter free for…
#BundtaMonth: Moroccan Inspired Olive Oil Bundt Cake with Ras El Hanout
We’ve all been there. I’ve been there more than once. There was the cream of mushroom soup I had right before getting sick on Vicodan when my wisdom teeth were removed, the vegetarian samosa I ate from a street food cart in Bath, England that made me queasy for the rest of the day, the…

Fez Days 2-3: An Open Letter to Sammy and Alex
Dear Sammy and Alex: I am very sorry I did not write yesterday–it was our day for touring the medina here in Fez and WHEW!! by the end we were very, very tired. The medina does not look that big on the outside, but it has hundreds and hundreds of tiny streets like the one…
Morocco!: An Open Letter to Alex and Sammy
Dear Alex and Sammy: I wrote this once already and the stinkin computer erased it. Because I have STILL not been to bed since we said goodbye to you, I will have to make it brief. This first picture is our first glimpse of Tangiers. You can see Africa from Tarifa, Spain, the port we…
