I honestly love Tteokboki so much! With soft, springy rice cakes cooked down in a spicy Korean chili sauce with fish cakes and vegetables I can never have enough when it’s placed in front of me. So, naturally, I wanted to make it at home. And then when I found out you can…

Try With Me: Za’atar and Cheese Mana’eesh
Mana’eesh was something I always wanted to try and make on my own. After trying it in college thanks to my amazing friend I could not get enough! Unfortunately, it’s not something we normally make at home or even buy so I thought why not try making it? What could be better than…
Simple Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll
I don’t have the chance to eat sushi a whole lot, but when I was in college we used to have sushi bars in all the dining halls and, oh boy, was it my favorite part of every meal. I definitely ate sushi every day, hahaha. Unfortunately, I no longer have that everyday…
Try With Me: Shrimp and Sausage Paella
Paella is another one of those dishes that I’ve always wanted to try but it’s difficult to find a Halal version. But, never fear, Try With Me is here! You all get to come along with me as I try making Paella for the first time…and spoiler alert: it tastes so good! With…
Try With Me: Chicken Katsu
Chicken Katsu is something I’ve always wanted to try. I love trying new foods but this was always something I wasn’t able to because there aren’t any halal Japanese chicken katsu options near me. So, I decided instead of moping about it I could just make it myself! And, wow, am I glad…
Try With Me: French Onion Grilled Cheese
This is a little bit of a different “Try With Me” because I typically follow a recipe that I’ve never had before and let you know how it went for me but this time I wanted to try recreating a dish I tried for the first time. I found out this year that…
Try With Me: Soft Flour Tortillas
Since we haven’t really been grocery shopping until we need to when my want for tacos came around I decided to try making tortillas instead of going out and buying them. Turns out tortillas aren’t super difficult to make with just a little bit of time and effort you can have some fresh,…
Try With Me: Hummus
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my experience making traditional Hummus! The great thing about Hummus, besides it being delicious, is that I can literally eat it with anything! I can’t be the only one. It’s good on rice, chips, bread, roti, almost anything! I love a good, versatile spread. I’ve made…
Try With Me: Cube Toast
My best friend’s birthday is coming up this weekend but, unfortunately, I won’t be able to celebrate with her. This isn’t just because of social distancing though, she lives in another state which certainly proves to be an obstacle in most of our plans, hahaha. But we make do. This year I thought…
Try With Me: Whipped Coffee
At this point I’m sure most everyone familiar with viral trends has heard about the very famously nicknamed whipped coffee, “Dalgona Coffee”. For those who don’t know (which was me up until very recently) this whipped coffee drink holds its origins in India, Pakistan, and Macau where it’s very commonly served with milk…
