Moroccan for dinner!

Well, this seems to be turning into a food blog lately!  I'll have to change that, so you don't think all I do is eat!  However, yesterday deserves a post, and so it shall be. 

A sweet South African girl from church came over to make us dinner last night!  She's come to ours for dinner a few times, and wanted to reciprocate.  However, her house doesn't have a lot of extra hosting space.  She did the shopping and preparation, then came over to our house to cook!  And it was fantastic!  She made this lovely Moroccan veggie stew and a traditional salad as well.  

Absolutely fantastic.  It had butternut squash, sweet potato, green beans, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, chick peas, green peppers, and I'm not even sure what other yummy goodness, all cooked with cumin and served over basmati rice.  It was amazing.  I have to make this!  The salad was a very simple salad, romaine lettuce with oranges, with an orange and lemon dressing.  It was really good!

our lovely cook!

It was so special of Laura (yes, another Laura in my life) to do this for us.  It truly was an honor to have someone so wanting to give to us that she did the shopping, prepped the food at her house, and then brought it all over to our house to make it and serve it to us.  I truly felt blessed.
