*Pear and Pomegranate Sangria*⁠
⁠
I was going to wait until the weekend to share this, but why wait, right?⁠
⁠
Resurrecting another gem from the archives, this pear and pomegranate sangria is flavored with pomegranate simple syrup and floral elderflower liquor. ⁠
⁠
Fun story: When I was little, my mom would always save the sangria soaked fruit for me to snack on. I was probably about 12 years old and now I'm not sure if I should've admitted that! 😂⁠

**Sticky Cinnamon Bun Rugelach**⁠
⁠
Everything you love about cinnamon buns and everything you love about rugelach all rolled up together into the most decadent sweet treat. ⁠
⁠
I make a lot of rugelach, all sorts of combinations and flavors, and these may be my favorite sweet rugelach combination ever!⁠
⁠
A few of my favorite things about these cinnamon bun rugelach⁠
⁠
* Orange zest + cinnamon are added to the dough for even more flavor⁠
* Rugelach are rolled up with homemade caramel sauce and caramelized nuts.⁠
* Then each rugelach are topped with a buttery streusel topping.⁠
* And if that’s not good enough, after they’re baked, add a drizzle of more caramel and icing. Because like sticky buns, it’s all about those sticky, messy layers!⁠
⁠
Would you like me to make these in a video? Let me know! ⁠

I’m really not sure what this dish is called but the only thing I can find online is “Almodrote”. Have you heard of it? ⁠
⁠
A Turkish yellow squash casserole with cheese and updated with my addition of gruyere and fresh herbs. ⁠
⁠
This is a breeze to make and the combination of yellow squash with ricotta , gruyere and Parmigiano is outstanding! ⁠

*Roasted Garlic and Herb Focaccia* is the latest recipe on the blog!⁠
⁠
Sticky savory sweet roasted garlic nestles into the airy focaccia. Then pour the aromatic garlic olive oil all over, top with loads of fresh herbs (if you know me, I top everything with fresh herbs!) and a good helping of our favorite fleur de sel. ⁠
⁠
But have fun with the toppings....⁠
Chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions and preserved lemon would all be fantastic!⁠
⁠
Though my tip, roast the garlic and make extra. You may snag a few cloves for yourself. ⁠

Lots of cooking! We love cooking, talking about food, recipes and ways to make recipes exciting and POP with bold spices, fresh herbs and layers of flavors.

✨Watch my Stories: We cook weeknight dinner together and I walk you through what we’re making. This is my favorite part of social media…when we all get to cook together. Any recipe requests? Let me know!

✨What recipes you’ll see here: My soul is Mediterranean cuisine. Everything from Middle Eastern, Jewish, Italian and French. I get inspired from flavors from all over the world and break it down to make it more approachable (for me) and for you to cook at home.

Thank you for being here and I am so excited we get to cook together!

What should we make next?

Did you know I have a podcast?⁠
⁠
I just recorded this weeks episode which will be live soon! And this weeks topic....all about making perfect risotto!⁠
⁠
I love making risotto both the traditional way and the more modern way (pressure cooker) and have a few tips and tricks to making the best risotto. ⁠
⁠
I won't share all of them (you'll have to listen to the episode), but my number one tip...⁠
⁠
Have more liquid then you think you need! I've made that mistake a few times. ⁠
⁠
Find me anywhere you listen to podcasts @kpnwdb @apple_podcasts , @spotify and @iheartradio

**One Pot Lemon Chicken with Chickpeas**⁠
⁠
The next time you're thinking about your usual dinner, think about ways to make the flavors POP even more!⁠
⁠
* Bold spices (paprika, sumac, cumin are all warm spices that compliment each other) ⁠
* Bright citrus: Use the zest AND the juice since you already have the whole fruit.⁠
* Fresh herbs: and don’t be shy! Gives freshness, color and another layer of flavor.⁠
⁠
Just a few of your favorite flavors can transform the usual into something spectacular. ⁠
⁠
And what's even better, is when it's cooks in one pot. ⁠
⁠
How do you make your recipes POP?⁠
