Iraqi Breakfast: Bagila bil Dihin [Fried Eggs over Broad Beans]
Ground Beef Skillet Hash
I’ve been on a short hiatus from blogging. Not intentionally. Every once in a while I get caught up with other things in my life—namely, my day job, and other life events.

Parmesan Popovers
Thanksgiving at the Fayyad household is an occasion not to be missed. Excluding a couple years – I can count them on one hand – Thanksgiving has always been held at my parents’ house.

And the girly side of be loves being able to flaunt pink and red for an entire month. The Hallmark holidays give me the opportunity to get crafty too. I enjoy pulling together artsy surprises for my family and the girls.
Crafts aren’t the only way to show Holiday Love. We all know that the best way to a anyone’s heart, is through their stomach. Ah, I couldn’t have said it better myself. So in addition to my little crafts, heart-shaped food is the way to go. (more…)
