The cumin, cinnamon & cardamom permeate the lamb giving it a warm fragrance and flavor and the addition of pomegranate and pine nuts add a nice crunch and beautiful color and a buttery finish.

A deliciously slightly sweet couscous salad loaded with bites of chewy apricots, dates, and figs, and a bit of crunch from the sliced almonds.

We decided to give this cake a go after we had tasted it at a friend's house. We were not disappointed in its creamy layers dotted with mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Definitely a must-make for any small party or gathering!

We have a friend who has an entire garden bed dedicated to kale that we get to use for these chips," We usually make them in a dehydrator, but the oven method works as well.
