Shakshuka

As I have probably mentioned, posted and broadcasted many times, I went to Israel for the first time this passed winter. I had an amazing time making new friends and seeing a lot of family. One thing I was excited about in my travels was food. Trying new things and trying the authentic version of foods as well. Here is my version of shakshuka as well as a few stories of my food experiences in Israel. Many thanks to Susie for asking for the recipe and inspiring this post!

Kookoo Sabzi

I made this a very long time ago and just never posted it. This is an easy recipe that is vegetarian and very tasty! Its an herb filled frittata type dish that all Persian mothers know how to make.  But as you know there's always a story to my posts. This one is not a happy one but it gives you a little insight to the Persian culture.

Weekly Oasis: Everything takes time

I've been overloaded with this list that I've made in my head of things to do. Like find a job, make the jams that my grandfather gave me citrus for, clean my room, unpack my last bag, return a bunch of things I bought for my trip and didn't use, clean my car, organize the garage, exercise more, blog more projects that have been done for months, make things for people I told them I would make for them by the end of last year etc etc. I could go on forever. I am starting to realize that I am not super woman and instead of appreciating my accomplishments I am burdening myself with things that take time.

Weekly Oasis: Dare to Dream

I know its been a while! This is a first in many ways. First post for 2013, first post since my trip, first time I'm being productive since I got back from my trip! I was just going through my trip photos (none of which I have posted except for the ones from birthright) and I saw this picture from Venice. I thought it would be a good story for a weekly oasis.
