Homemade French Fries

Chocolate Brownies!!

Who doesn't like chocolate? In my opinion, brownies are the best way to eat a chocolate cake!! First, because they're super easy and quick to make, and also because they are delicious!!! I'd be lying if I said I didn't make these at least once a week. Now they might not be the healthiest snack you can have but since these are homemade, you're saving yourself a load of unwanted chemicals, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial ingredients you might find in the prepackaged ones. As I always say, "healthy" does

Moroccan Couscous!!

Today I am coming to you with one of my favorites dishes of all time: Moroccan Couscous!!! I just love the taste of couscous with all the vegetables cooked in the beef broth and flavored with fresh herbs and ginger. I am using instant couscous which makes this recipe super easy to make. The traditional recipe calls for 7 kinds of vegetables: carrots, zucchini, squash, cabbage, onions, turnip and potatoes. Also, the caramelized raisins are usually served separately, or when served with the couscous it is another dish cooked without the veggies. I like the taste of both so I just serve them together, the sweetness from the raisins with the taste of the veggies goes perfectly together!! Now I did not use all 7 kinds of veggies simply because I didn't have all of them in hand but it

Oreo Cheesecake!!

Now how good does this Oreo Cheesecake look?? Absolutely amazing!! Incredibly delicious!! Extra Creamy... Heavenly good!!! And you know what, it is just as easy to make than it is to eat! All you need is to bring the cream cheese and butter to room temperature before hand. After that, your electric beater will do all the work for you. Also, you will need a huge amount of patience, since the cake needs to cool down completely and then chill in the fridge for about 2 hours before you can dig in. I show you how you can make your own Oreo crust as well. It is really easy and all you need is obviously Oreos and

Brochettes: Baked Ground Beef And Veggies Skewers!!

This is a super easy and fun meal idea!! It's a great way to eat veggies as well, and have a balanced meal, specially if you serve these skewers over brown rice and more veggies (green beans and cauliflower in my case). It is really quick, it doesn't require any prep time, and the skewers are ready in about 20 minutes! I do recommend to bake over low heat (300F) so that the ground beef stays juicy, specially if you're using low fat ground beef. The taste of the grilled beef and the crisp veggies is just delicious! You won't regret giving this recipe a try!!

Moroccan Almond Cookies - Ghriyba

This my Grandma's Recipe!! Being away from home made me miss these cookies so bad that I called my Grandma and asked her foe the recipe. These are not usually made regularly at home in Morocco. They are considered high end pastry (it's quite expensive, since the main ingredient is almonds) and it is usually served in special occasions like a wedding or a party. Ghriyba (Ghoriba) is usually served the famous Moroccan Mint Tea. And it is, oh so good!!! Chewing from the inside, with a little crunch from the icing sugar and the flavors come together perfectly!! The taste of the almonds with the hint of vanilla mixing

Lentil Soup!!

Lentils (like beets) are another one of my favorite super foods!! I am a huge fan of lentils regardless of their health benefits and how rich they are in fiber and iron. Plus, with this technique that I have developed throughout the years, they are also one of the quickest and easiest side dish or even meal I can have. This recipe, doesn't call for preparation at all and the lentils are ready in about 20 minutes. All you have to do is pretty much patiently wait for them to cook!! Sounds pretty easy right? Also, all you need is lentils (of course), one chopped onion, a few garlic gloves, chopped parsley and salt. Drizzle with a little

My Pastry Cream Recipe / Crème pâtissière

Pastry Cream (French Crème pâtissière) is one of the most used creams in baking specially in pastry making.
It is rich, and in this video I show how to make the traditional or the basic pastry cream version. However, it can be flavored differently, with either lemon, chocolate, almond, etc. This cream is used in Pain Aux Raisins, Almond Cream Filled Croissants, Eclairs (Recipe coming soon), Apple tart, and many other recipes.
