Tahini date granola bars, MaureenAbood.com

Tahini-Date Granola Bars, with Dried Apricots. A strong start.

By Maureen Abood On March 10, 2016 · 16 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Pastry and Sweets, Vegan, Vegetarian
Tahini-date granola bars are chewy, nutty, and have that delicious tangy dried fruit flavor with dried apricots. The tahini combines great with peanut butter, but you can do all tahini, leave out the almonds and go nut-free. Have fun and add other dried fruits, nuts, and seeds–just be sure to keep the same proportions so [...]

Christmas Breakfast Wreath

By Maureen Abood On December 19, 2015 · 10 Comments · In Breads, Christmas, Pastry and Sweets, Techniques
This Christmas Breakfast wreath is glorious to behold and to eat. A buttery dough is filled with cherry almond filling scented with rose water, cut and twisted to form a wreath, and finished with a rose water glaze. Also see the beautiful Brioche Star with Strawberry Rose Jam. At Tante Marie’s, where I went to [...]

Crustless Spinach and Feta Quiche with Sumac Recipe. Say yes to the dress.

By Maureen Abood On May 8, 2014 · 36 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Stories and Recipes, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban
As many of you know, I’m getting married soon. Recently someone asked when, and my response (“next month”) surprised me. It’s a-comin’ right up! I’d say that I don’t recommend having your manuscript deadline and your wedding fall within a couple of months of one another. But actually, I kind of do recommend it. My [...]

Homemade Power Bars Recipe: Apricot Almond

By Maureen Abood On May 7, 2014 · 18 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian
Power bars, energy bars, call them what you will: they’ve long been a fixture in my gym bag, my handbag, or any bag toting my essentials. I considered them essentials primarily because round about 4 p.m., just before an evening run or workout, I’d be crashing hungry from not having eaten an adequate breakfast (or [...]

Lebanese-inspired, protein-rich breakfasts

By Maureen Abood On May 6, 2014 · 6 Comments · In Stories and Recipes
I’ve waxed, and then waned, on the subject of breakfast more than once here (like this), and a lot more than once over the course of…well, a lifetime. Breakfast has ruled me the way the croissant dough wants to rule the rolling pin. At a certain point you have to shake the big pin in [...]

Plum Custard Tart Recipe

By Maureen Abood On September 19, 2013 · 9 Comments · In Fall, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Summer
My Italian plum reverie stems from three places. One, a poem. I first read it in college, and then in graduate school, and then heard it recited with some devotion—nearly like a prayer—by my sister over the years every early fall, when the plums are here. The poet, William Carlos Williams, was also a doctor [...]

Lebanese cucumbers

By Maureen Abood On September 12, 2013 · 16 Comments · In Ingredients, Stories and Recipes
My fascination with cucumbers, the small ones, has gone on for some time. As has my fascination with the English language. I was sitting in the backseat of my mom’s Custom Cruiser, probably circa 1975, when we were driving along M-119 Up North, and I saw a roadside sign that made no sense. Mom, what [...]

Blackberry Lavender Sugar Buns

By Maureen Abood On July 18, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Breads, Christmas, Easter, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Winter
Quiet is here. There recently were days, weeks really, of constant motion, our early July tradition in Harbor Springs. Everyone in the family comes for a long, but short, gathering that we take pleasure in knowing is there for us all year long. And then you hit this week, the week after, and it can’t [...]

Ruby Red Grapefruit-St. Germain Mimosa

By Maureen Abood On March 27, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Christmas, Drinks, Easter, Gluten-Free, Stories and Recipes, Winter
By now it’s crystal clear that St. Germain tastes good with just about anything you can think of to pair it with. If you ask my brothers, it’s even better on its own, on the rocks, when late evening comes and something more is called for. The affinity we all have over here for St. [...]

An Easter Brunch Menu

By Maureen Abood On March 25, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Menus
Even though I’ve had Lebanon on the brain lately, there is one place and one place only that Easter memories take me. That is to Fostoria, Ohio, where I ate my first pillow soft, yellow sugar-coated Peep. Alice made each of her grandchildren an adorable little Easter basket using the green fruit pint boxes she [...]
