Tomato Rice Pilaf by Mary JosephThis originated as a Lebanese dish that my mom always used to make, I tweaked it a bit adding tomatoes and mint and leaving out the meat that it called for. If you're a cheese lover this would be amazing with crumbled French Feta mixed in. |

You won't be disappointed! |

Bulgur Pilaf by Salad FoodieFaster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice.

Hummus by Frosted FlakerThis is a great snack for any time of year. I personally serve it with Kalamata olives and sometimes even diced cucumber and/or bell pepper. Keep in mind that after blending, fine-tuning the mixture with slightly more tahini and/or lemon juice is often needed (see step 3). As a footnote, tahini is what gives the hummus its creamy… |

Eggplant Dip Recipe - Baba Ganoush by SidrahBaba Ganoush, a Middle Eastern eggplant dip, is very similar to hummus, except it is made with eggplant. If you like eggplants, like me, you will definitely make this a staple dish. I cook it often and use it as a dip (for snacks) or meals in between the main meals. |
