I love #kimchi! so my dear friend @janineyclai gave me her recipe and I couldn't wait to make it! I started the #brining process with the cabbage .. But realized I had cucumbers and radishes in the fridge. So I brined those and they started sweating quick! I couldn't go to sleep last night so I was up till 3am making my cucumber + radish kimchi .. I have to admit , so far so good! I don't really feel comfortable putting up a recipe a) maybe this a family secret recipe and I'm not trying to disrespect her sharing it /// b) I haven't tried a couple times. Plus I made a few modifications lol .. so give me sometime to get it right and make it my own ... ❤️⚡️

#malfoof (stuffed cabbage rolls) is a Mediterranean dish. The cabbage is rolled with a spiced rice/meat mixture. I personally like substituting the meat for soy meat instead! I use a ton of garlic , cumin and lemon! It's soooo good! I'll post the recipe soon!

#cooking for me is an emotional and therapeutic process. I've been highly stressed at work - that by the time I got home these last couple days .. I had no energy or inspiration to cook for us. now I'm headed to Cali for #grammy weekend .. so there won't be any #cookingwithkader / #cookinginasnap moments till next week 😔 | be patient with me .. I'll be back .. I hope you guys have an amazing weekend! And if you are in LA - hopefully I'll run into ya 🌴☀️

every sunday I make chicken stock for the week to use for many things. I even use the chicken I boil to make my chic-fil-a chicken salad (previously posted). im going to share my favorite way to make chicken stock for homemade soups tomorrow. this is the perfect weather for it too!

all I need is some mint tea to go with my hummus + jalapeño olive oil sandwich (recipe posted previously). feeling really homesick lately .. so a cup of this and #fairuz playing in the background does the trick for now ... but what should I cook for lunch though? MK is still sick - so soup it is. But what about for myself? Maybe a #shawerma sandwich to really make me feel like I'm back in the Middle East...

Mshat aka Cauliflower Fritters #ingredients - 1 head cauliflower - 6 eggs - 1/2 cup parsley - 1/2 onion diced fine - 1 green onion diced - 1/2tsp cumin - 1/2tsp cinnamon - 1/2tsp cardamom - salt/pepper - 1tsp baking powder - 1cup flour (you'll adjust to thicken the batter based on the egg size) #prep : - cut your cauliflower small bite size - boil in water but don't cook all the way. you don't want them soggy in your fritter. a crunch is best! Drain when cooked and set to the side - beat your eggs really well (or in food processor) #recipe : - add your onions (green + white) and parsley with your eggs until finely chopped (food processor) - add spices (above) pepper , salt baking powder and flour and mix really well - break apart your cauliflower flowerets into tiny pieces and mix it all up - heat some oil in a pan on medium heat - drop dollops of your mixture - keep your fritters apart cause they will spread! - use a spoon to take some of the oil and pour it on top so it can cook simultaneously and prevents them from spreading! - cook each side till its golden! - serve with lemon (my fave) or a cucumber yogurt dressing! - enjoy while it's hot is best!
