I absolutely love your round-up posts! So many recipes in one spot. It makes me want to try them all!
Awwww … thanks, Kristi! We really love the round-up posts, too! They actually take much longer to put together than you’d probably imagine, because we’re so picky in debating which recipes truly best meet our THK standards of being relatively healthy, easy and quick. But, we love researching and compiling them and have discovered so many wonderful recipes and fantastic blogs … then we just love being able to pass along all that inspiration to our readers! Yum … let’s dig in, shall we?!?! 😀 ~G&S
The lemon coconut freekeh cookies would make me a freekeh freek. 🙂
Yes! Those cookies are at the top of our lists, too! (Ok fine, everything here is on our ‘make-this-really-soon’ list!) And we’re probably already considered freekeh freaks! So yummy!!! ~G&S
Thanks for including my freekeh pilaf in the recipe round up! All the recipes look great. I need to try those freekeh stuffed tomatoes!
Hi, Vanessa! You are so very welcome! Your Easy Mexican Freekeh Pilaf looks fantastic – totally droolworthy – so of course we just had to include it! And yes – Gary’s tomatoes are a real stand-out showstopper, too! We were so inspired by these great recipes – so many wonderful ideas for working more freekeh into our menus! 😀 ~G&S
It’s funny, years ago, my friend who’s married to a Syrian, made some freekah. The ME has been eating it for years and now it’s like whoa, the biggest deal! It cracks me up 🙂
It is good and it’s good that we’re learning to appreciate it here now. Love the round up of freekah recipes!
Hi, Nazneen! You’re so right – in some parts of the world, like Middle Eastern countries and Australia, freekeh is much more just a typical part of their food culture, but here in America, lots of people are only now becoming aware of it and realizing how incredibly healthy and delicious it is. We’ve had some really great feedback from readers who’ve tried freekeh because of our recent posts about it – once people try it, they realize how great it is and are so enthusiastic about it! Just yesterday, I was chatting with my mom and she was absolutely raving about it and telling me how totally hooked she is now! 😀 ~Shelley
