1851. Eggnog

Eggnog is a famous winter drink that is hyped up during the end of year holidays. Turns out, all this drink is, is a diluted egg custard flavored with nutmeg. 

1850. Airfried Olives and Haloomi

Somehow, the options for favorite cuisines seem to be limited to French or Italian. I seriously disagree. Arab cuisine has to be the most varied and delicious one. Maybe I am just biased. This simple mix of haloomi cheese, olives, and a few other Arab pantry staples is a fantastic example of how nutritious and delicious Arab cuisine may be. 

1849. Smeagol Eggs

I made a promise to my niece to call this recipe Smeagol Eggs. If you know, you know. But if you don't know, well, Smeagol from LOTR would sneak up on bird nests and drink the eggs. Not the most delicious analogy, but I can promise that these runny eggs are a family favorite. 

1848. Syrian Pumpkin Yogurt Stew

I could not get a pretty picture of the stew, but its character more than makes up for its lack of beauty. This Syrian pumpkin yogurt stew is such a cozy and heartwarming dish for the winter, especially for us Arabs who love yogurt-based dishes. 

1847. Salt Fudge Toffee

The end of year brings candy and baking recipes galore. This salted fudge toffee is so moreish in the winter, but honestly might be the same year-round. 

1846. Arayes Sprial Skewers

Arayes is a classic Arabian snack, and presenting them as spirals on a skewer is novel and innovative. I served it with a side of kefir ranch dip, and it was delicious. 

1845. Canned Cranberry Juice

People have an apprehensive approach to canning food, with food safety issues and all. Starting small and conquering minor steps is key to developing any skill. So I tried my hand at canning cranberry juice, and it was really successful.

1844. Fresh Zaatar Olive Savory Muffins

Zaatar and cheese is a classic and nostalgic combination that I would be happy to include in my daily routine as it's got hundreds, maybe even thousands, of variations.

1843. Mini Pumpkin Cheese Fondue

This is a fun and delicious idea for small pumpkins and leftover scraps of cheese: serving one or two people, the cheese fondue is put in a baked small pumpkin, which is edible as well. 

1842. Raclette

Raclette is the name of a Swiss and French Alps cheese, but it is also the name of a dish on how it is consumed. I was gifted a two-person raclette candle-lit grill, and allowed myself the indulgence of a raclette dinner for two.
