Super Easy Macaroni Bechamel

Sunday July 20, 2008
This is probably the most delicious pasta dish on the planet. Macaroni bechamel is very popular in Egypt and is exactly what the name says it is: macaroni in a bechamel sauce, combine with ground beef and tomato sauce.

Some people like to use elbow noodles for this recipe, however, I like to use ziti or rigatoni. This is a very easy and simplified version of an Egyptian favorite.

Rainy Day? Grill Indoors.

Thursday July 17, 2008
Anyone who has been reading the About Middle Eastern Food site for even a short period of time knows that I love to grill. It's easy, there is little clean-up, and best of all the flavor is unmatched.

Right now, I live in the Seattle area where we don't see too many sunny days out of the year. While most of the country is pulling out their spring clothes, I am still huddled under an umbrella waiting for the rain to subside. The rain, however, does not stop me from grilling though. I don't have a covered porch area outside, so I have started using an indoor grill.

I was skeptical at first, don't get me wrong. How different could an indoor grill be to using the broiler? Well, actually it is pretty different. But, I have also learned some of the best recipes to cook on an indoor grill. Check them out!
