What are Manakish or Manakeesh? Manakish, also known as manakeesh, manaquish, mana’eesh, and manousheh (for a single pie), is a flavorful Middle Eastern or Levantine flatbread or pie (similar to pizza, I call this recipe Lebanese pizza). They start with an easy-to-make soft and pillowy dough and then they’re topped with various toppings. Zaatar spread is the most popular option, but cheese, halloumi, and ground lamb with tomatoes (this variation is called sfiha), are also common and super delicious!...

We celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday in our traditional south indian way - Sastiapthmoorthi. Along with the birthday celebration, the function also included a remarriage ceremony for my parents. That is such a cute and an auspicious moment. Very few people get to witness this ceremony in their lifetime and we were all blessed. More than just visiting homes and catching up , we decided to do two resort trips with family and cousins....

Also this makes 2 recipes in a row I’ve posted that are actually healthy but masquerade as comfort food. (Banana ice cream anyone?) Don’t worry, I’m not trying to trick you. I only eat things that taste good. I’m picky like that. I can’t be held responsible if sometimes those recipes also happen to be healthy. Raise your hand if you have gluten-free friends.

More 30 minute dinner ideas you will love! 30 Minute Korean Beef Recipe » SO good, and so little effort I knew I was in for half an hour of coming up with genius ideas to pass the time…that all involve my phone. Do you do this? Here are all the things I thought for a millisecond I could do, before remembering that I was phone-less: Text Eric about how hilarious it was when baby Valentine stripped completely naked and brought me her “swim soup” when she saw the other kids getting dressed for their lessons, and then cried real tears when I told her she wasn’t getting in the pool....
The mothers and mother-in-laws have all gone home. The husband is of course back at work. And here I am. At home. Alone. Except that I’m not actually alone because there are two screaming children demanding my attention day and night. Mostly they are wanting food. Didn’t I just feed you yesterday? What is your deal? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that my kids are voracious eaters. They are my own offspring, after all....
Have I told you that the kids (well, at this point just Gavin, 7 1/2, and Quinn, almost 4) like to incorporate Elliot into the games they play? It started when I was pregnant with Piper and Gavin made Lego characters for each one of us. Little mini figures that he put together, each with it’s own set of armor and they would head into battles together. It happened just after we told him Piper’s name....
Eric handed me some scraps of paper that he had just gathered up from around the house. They were my daily to-do lists from the past week. The very first item at the top of every list said, “Clean” or “Clean something.” Last Friday’s said, “Clean something, ANYTHING!!!” You know a task that travels from one to-do list to the next is something that you need to avoid at all costs....
Updated 13th December 2021 There are so many good apple ciders available to buy this time of year and if you’re looking for a delicious winter cocktail, it pairs so well with cognac, brandy and whiskey. Cognac is a brandy from the same named region of France. When I’m serving cognac, I love to add a slice of fresh orange and topped with ginger ale. I’m making this seasonal variation on that drink by replacing the ginger ale with fresh apple cider....
The other day I got the meanest comment on my blog that I’ve ever gotten. The basic idea of it was that no one wants to read about my kids, no one cares about them, or the “drivel” I write. They just want the recipe . . . and then they slammed the recipe, lol. Do you know who I want to be? I want to be a duck. If I am going to put my life, my kids’ lives, my creative ideas, thoughts, and processes on the internet, I need to become a damn duck!...

Well, it finally happened. I’ve joined the ranks of frantic parents who realize that their kid has just taken scissors to their own hair. I don’t know how I made it 10 years of mom-ing without it happening before now. I thought I just had incredibly well behaved children. HA! Joke’s on me. I took some pictures, just to memorialize it before she decides to do it again. It’s really not bad, right?...
