One my favorite things about winter, is that citrus is in season! From cara cara oranges to blood oranges and meyer lemons. For this Lemon Tart with Meringue Topping, I used a combination of lemon blood orange juice! But you can use any combination of citrus that you like.

Homemade Sourdough Loaf
Hussein loves bread and always prefers bakery fresh bread to anything in a plastic bag in the supermarket. I’ve made quick, no-knead loafs with yeast before but really wanted to try my hand at sourdough. Many of my blogger friends had posted about Artisan Sourdough Made Simple by Emilie Raffa. I ordered the book and…
Citrus Spiced Cranberry Sauce
I L-O-V-E cranberry sauce. But not that stuff that comes out of metal jar. Yes, I know they organic cranberry sauce in cans but it is not as good as homemade. This recipe is super easy to make and can be done two days in advance (I wouldn’t go longer, because we are making fresh…

Brown Butter Pecan Cookies
I love browning butter for cookies. Ever since I started doing so with my Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, I have been obsessed (and so have all of you). I am sure you will all love Brown Butter Pecan Cookies, just as much as chocolate chip ones!
Alcohol Free French Onion Soup

My family loves tabbouleh and it is a dish we often make together. My mom, sisters and I, would pick through bunches and bunches of parsley when making this for parties. I…
