Middle Eastern Recipes

Middle Eastern food holds a special place in my heart and in my kitchen. I have spent some time in Egypt and My husband is Lebanese. I enjoy seeing that big smile when I make him some Easy And Delicious Pan Sheet Chicken Kebabs on a Thursday night! Sure, he will complain that it wasn't grilled but he eats it anyway! I am all about quick and easy, at least during the week!

If you’re new to the cuisine, start with the Middle Eastern Meatballs (Kofta Stew). It’s a hearty dish made with ground beef and lamb, potatoes, and a savory tomato broth that pairs perfectly with vermicelli rice or warm pita bread.

Hi, I'm Lola

Just your not so average girl next door who loves all things food. I was born in Paris, France to a tribe of women who love to cook and bake! I bring you quick and easy recipes from all over the world, but my heart (and taste buds) belong to Mediterranean cuisine. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, quick and delicious is my goal!
