NEW Moroccan Quinoa + Recipes for the Weekend


Hi Reader,

Do you like harissa? 🌢️ I sure do!

When most people think of harissa (affiliate link), they probably think of harissa paste, but I find myself using the dry spice blend (affiliate link) much more often.

I like that it keeps longer than harissa paste, and it's just so easy to incorporate into dishes anytime you want a boost of that earthy and lightly smoky+spicy flavor.

​One Pot Harissa Quinoa​

Though harissa originated in Tunisia, it's also popular in Moroccan cuisine. Here I paired it with fire-roasted tomatoes, cumin, a touch of cinnamon, and chopped dates for a very subtle hint of sweetness that balances the spices.

Hi Reader, Back in 2020, I shared my oat flour banana bread, and it quickly became a reader favorite. I think it works so well because oat flour and really ripe bananas just "get" each other. I recently tried turning that batter into muffins. They were good… but the loaf still won. So I started experimenting, and one random question led to another: could I make vegan banana muffins with just 5 ingredients? After a few rounds of testing, I landed on a version that feels simple, cozy, and very...
