What Edmund from Narnia sold his siblings out for... Tastes life a softer, more subtle swedish fish. Yummy.

Sohan Papdi

Like spun honey with nuts and cardamom. Delicate, and dissolves instantly in your mouth.

Dinner winner

Zucchini,carrots,green onion, garlic, chicken, cilantro all chopped and ready to go when I realize the jar of cous cous sauce I planned dinner around is long gone. No worries, bouillion cube, tomato paste...AND harissa and kefta spices from a 'try the world box' (Morocco) to the rescue!

Dolmas

I found you can order on Amazon and here is their website: http://www.palirria.com/?lang=en&path=-615133287

Wine Biscuits!

Delicious peppery cookie.  Sounds weird, Cabernet wine biscuits ... but I am currently, frantically trying to find a replacement to the box I just finished off!

Panko and Coconut crusted Tofu with black bean slaw


Was a hit with hubby and me but I made the slaw too spicy for the kids (just a wee bit o cayenne).  Got this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Skinny Dinners cookbook.
