Weekend cross-cultural inspiration

The hubby has been craving some saltfish and cabbage and decided to make it this weekend.  It was AMAZING, but we still had leftovers the next day and decided to make it into a sandwich.  We had some great, fresh buns from Publix, and just put two great things together :)

My dad was also visiting for a few days and cut up the turnip and beets to make what we call in Egypt "lift", which is basically pickled turnips and beets.  He also cut up a meditteranean salad and I found this great Greek salad dressing recipe on pinterest and put that over the salad with a side of lift.

My husband also gets a craving for fresh lime juice on occasion, so we also made some of that.  We topped the sandwich off with some special hot sauce brought straight from Barbados for us from his Uncle!

It all made for a great meal!  My 2 year old also ate the saltfish and cabbage and loved it!  I made some white rice on the side and just mixed the saltfish right into it :)

Here's the pinterest recipe I used for the salad dressing:

The meal after it all came together!

Introduction...

I started this blog MANY years ago while living in nyc! It was originally created as a place to send all of my out of town guests for recommendations of my absolute favorite places to eat, visit, and shop while in nyc.  If you're headed to nyc, the blog still exists, and they're still most of my favorite places!  You may want to check their websites before heading there in case anything's changed since I left nyc!  Here's the link to check it out: www.dahliasnyc.blogspot.com


After getting married, moving to Jacksonville, Florida, and now having 2 kids, I've decided to have this page evolve to reflect my life these days! I have become a Pinterest queen and LOVE to cook something new from it almost daily! I also have a two year old and 8 week old that I'm home with and use Pinterest to come up with activities and ideas of things to do with them! I still consider myself a foodie and occasionally when I find a place I love here in Jacksonville, I'll post about that!

So here goes....to my new endeavour as a stay at home mom blog beginning!
