Algeria, located in North Africa is the largest country in the whole of Africa. It has a unique and beautiful culture. Despite being the biggest country, not many know what the country has to offer. Today, I will be showing you how to make the traditional Algerian pan made bread called Mathlou3 paired with the lovely Arab mint tea. It is so soft and fluffy to the point where 7 out of 8 that I made were gone before I had a chance to take a picture of them in the bread basket. The dough: This recipe I use has been passed down by my mother who is known for her amazing bread. She has this gift where her eye is her measurement and this is what we're going to go by.

Good Morning! Today I will show you how I made pastia. I saw this recipe on ABC's The Chew,  and I had to try out this Italian breakfast dish. The original recipe feeds 10-12 people, so I made it to feed 5-6 people. I also made some other small adjustments. To make the dish, I used the following ingredients: 1/2 pound of linguine 1 pound of turkey bacon 1 yellow onion 6 eggs 1 cup of pecorino romano (grated) 1/4 cup of provolone 1/4 cup of parsley Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (grated) Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Boil the linguine 2 minutes longer than package instructions. Saute bacon until cooked through but not crispy for 5 minutes. Cook onions in the same pan with olive oil for about 5 minutes. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk them. Add the pecorino romano, provolone and parsley to the eggs. Put the pasta, bacon and onions into a bowl. Stir and then let it cool. Left: Eggs mixed with pecorino romano, provolone and parsley. Right: Lin...
