This Middle Eastern winter-hot-silky-drink is an easy option that is loved by kids and adults alike! It is very common to find “Sahlab” available in the coffee shops in the Middle East, especially in Levant. In Turkey, Sahlab is also quite popular but it’s known as “Salep” it was originally made with orchid roots flour but the popularity of the drink led to decline in the population of the orchids, so now you probably would only find artificial mixes with salep powder flavorings sold in stores....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Now I am faced with how to dress myself and the giant baby growing in my belly. I wore my regular swimsuit to a pool party last week and the straps were cutting into my shoulders so bad that I thought I would lose circulation in my arms permanently. Sarah is moving from Texas to the Bay Area in just a couple of weeks (hooray!...
While a few of such of my creations have turned out perfect to go into the trash, many of them have become a family favourite over the years and continue to make their appearances on my dinner table. Most of them are throw-it-all-into-one-pot-and-hope-for-the-best kinda meals, while others are quick assembly ones. But they each have one thing in common: a few starving mouths waiting to be fed. I remember this one time when I tried cooking spaghetti with some leftover meatball curry – spaghetti bolognese a la Indian, which did not work out much to our liking....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Like yesterday, I was going to head to the store to grab a new broom. Then I remembered that I also needed to shop for a new meat thermometer (for grilling this tri tip). I asked Eric if we needed anything else.

This year, everyone’s favorite pumpkin pie is deconstructed and transformed into a dip with shortbread dippers. The shortbread acts like the crust for this easy Thanksgiving dessert. For Thanksgiving, I always make my desserts the day before because, well, there is so much going on the kitchen it’s always a good idea to make what you can ahead. In the case of this dessert, it can be made ahead AND there’s no cooking or baking involved....

Originally posted September 23, 2013 Eric and I went to our church’s Service Scavenger Hunt this weekend. You take a list of outdoor chores house to house (sweep the porch, wash the car, etc.) and whichever team finishes the most wins. It was awesome. People were just so surprised that we weren’t charging anything. My favorite was this little old lady named Doris. She was just so cute. I loved everything about her, from her nylons pinned neatly to the clothes line out back, to the 3 wheel bike (with a basket!...
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram It’s all cleaned out now. The previous owners took care of decontamination (a tenant was the culprit.) The house was condemned by the state right away after the test came back. I was worried they would raze it to the ground! I’m so glad they were able to get it scrubbed, because the house is so cool! It was such a nice change of pace!...

My favorite part about it is that it is done in just under 25 minutes....
