Herby Cauliflower Rice with Pecans and Candied Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
Bacon-wrapped chicken with brown sugar and chili powder is baked next to cauliflower rice in this easy sheet pan dinner ready in about an hour.
Creamy Seafood Medley with Pasta
Mixed seafood (like shrimp, scallops, and crab) in a rich, creamy sauce served over pasta. Elegant, indulgent, and restaurant-worthy.
Pasta with Basil
Simple and aromatic, this pasta lets fresh basil shine—tossed with olive oil, garlic, and sometimes tomato. A bright, herbaceous, and quick option.
Chicken Rice-A-Roni
Made with shredded chicken, tender basmati rice, and smoky-sweet caramelized onions and peppers, this chicken Rice-A-Roni was inspired by a Lebanese rice and vermicelli pilaf. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon juice, chili flakes, hot sauce, or even garlic-infused yogurt!
Bolognese Sauce
A rich, slow-simmered meat sauce made with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, and wine. Ideal for pasta like tagliatelle or lasagna layers.
Baharat Chicken and Rice
A complex and intense baharat spice blend infuses roast chicken and basmati rice. I made the spice blend similar to the combinations from the Gulf region by adding spices like loomi (dried lime). Keep this spice mix handy to add to soups, too.
