Crescent and Star Shaped Rice Crispy Treats

Ramadan Kareem to all of my readers! We've almost reached the halfway mark of Ramadan, which always creates a bittersweet feeling for me. The end of Ramadan means no more huge amounts of reward for every little thing you do and no more bonding over iftar and suhoor. At the same time it means no more hunger pains in the middle of the day and no more crazy schedules. Even more, it means that my favorite holiday, Eid, is coming up. So it's a very sad feeling with a hint of excitement.

Asparagus, Chicken, & Quinoa Casserole

Good afternoon, lovely readers.

This blog, that I have been writing for 5 years, is a chronicle of all of my cooking adventures. I've been through quite a few phases of different styles of cooking for my family. When I was living with my parents, I shared many large, family friendly, and healthy dishes. When I got married, I started cooking a lot of "dinner for two" recipes, romantic and adventurous dishes. 

Quinoa Crusted Chicken Parmesan with Cheesy Zucchini Rice

Here is the story of my life... I try to lose some weight, I start working out, I eat healthy for a couple days. And then bam! I make something crazy fat like this delicious chicken parmesan with cheesy zucchini rice. All that work down the drain.

Does this happen to you too? I can't help it... I'm just too much of a foodie!

My excuse this week was that I breaded the chicken parmesan with quinoa. It's no secret that quinoa is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. So, I have to say, it was a pretty good excuse.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Cajun seasoning is a simple spice blend that you can find easily in grocery stores. Though all cajun spice blends are unique, most include garlic, onion, oregano, salt, black pepper, mustard, and celery. For those of my readers who can't live without this spice blend, believe it or not, this recipe was actually my first time using it. And I have to say, I loved it.
