Recipe: Gingerbread Cookies
These were so good that I absolutely could not believe it. Please run, don’t walk to make these gingerbread cookies. The best part about them was that they were so delicious it was difficult to stop eating them and the second best part was that they not only held their shape when they cooked but they didn’t need to be chilled before rolling. Wow!

Weekly Lunches: #22
I’m trying to get back in the game and part of that is actually posting these lunches on time (since I’m obviously not great at posting menus on time – yikes, self call out!). Anyway hopefully from here on out with my new phone I’ll be able to fulfill my idea of actually posting these lunches every week!

Recipe: Harira
I ran across this Moroccan soup a few months ago and figured I’d eventually get around to it and now it’s easily one of my favorites. With a hearty tomato and spice base it contains what seems like an overwhelming amount of things (chickpeas, lentils, and a small amount of meat as well) but that gives it a great base but makes it hearty enough for a full meal.

Menu: Welcome to 2019
It took a minute but 2019 is now officially started and this blog has moved from its old landing place to the new one (though I can’t seem to make the redirect work 100% but whatever, time fixes everything I suppose). I’m going to try and get back to business as usual but we’ll see how long that streak lasts.

Wow! A round number! Only five more weeks to go in the year and it kind of feels like an accomplishment to have posted 25 (hopefully) out of 52 weeks. I don’t think anyone looks at my blog though so maybe the effort isn’t worth it? *shrug*
