Hash Browns Eggs Brunch.

Hello everybody hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Different Friday routine today, went to Ikea as a change to usual coffee at Rula’s , lovely  shopping time ended with delicious aromatic coffee .

Got back home not knowing what to cook,boys wanted something quick not lunch or breakfast type,then I remembered this recipe I saw the other day on Fatafeat done by the famous chef Gordon Ramsay , turned out a perfect brunch , kids loved it.

Ingredients and method:

* 3-4 large potatoes peeled and finely grated.

* 1 small grated onion mixed with potatoes.

* 3-4 large eggs.

* some salami or beef bacon (optional)

* salt and pepper.

* vegetable oil and some butter.

* mix grated potatoes,onion,salt and pepper very well then squeeze to remove all water.

* heat some oil in a skillet (one you can use in the oven later)

* add potato mix and press evenly.

* add some butter cubes on edges.

* cook till bottom is crispy and golden then flip all on the other side using another plate or pan.

* cook till golden then add eggs,salami,salt and pepper on top.

* put in the oven to roast or eggs are well done.(upper flame on )

* serve with salad, today I made lettuce,corn,sun dried tomatoes and dressing on top.

Really easy quick fulfilling meal,great as brunch,lunch or even dinner.

Lovely Cousin’s Visit <3

Hello everybody.

Today I was really thrilled to meet my cousin coming for Summer vacation from Qatar, It’s been a long time since we saw each other and had lots and lots of catching up.

Though I was willing she’d come for lunch but due to her full schedule visit ended up in the morning and we had breakfast together.

I also made her favorite chocolate cake,we used to make it when we were in college every week,such great memories <3

Well truth is nothing beats cousins and good old friends,everlasting memories !

Usual Friday Breakfast :)

Hello everybody.

Hot Summer day since morning,seems all weekend will be like this.

My sister in-law called to invite us to breakfast ,we actually go to visit each Friday noon for coffee,a ritual I guess by now,but today we went earlier and had a cozy delicious breakfast followed by coffee on the balcony which was cool and breezy.

Had a lovely time <3

Eggs Day!

Hello everybody.

Today everybody agreed they didn’t want something cooked,eggs and frittata was the option,though when I was done just before Maghreb prayers I regretted the decision. Too much mess and frying plus that I’m known to be not a big fan of eggs,for me cooking a decent meal is much more easier.

I made courgettes frittatas,fried mushrooms and courgettes flowers dipped in special dough ( Rita’s recipe) ,boiled eggs,omelette with hot-dogs,tuna salad and magdoos salad which is normal one with chopped magdoos in it.

all was good and tasty,don’t think I’ll do the same mess all together again though !

Lamb Chops !!

Hello everybody.

Today I wanted to make something that my youngest son likes cause he’s not eating well since beginning of Ramadan so I went bought some fresh lamb chops,his favorite dish 🙂

My eldest is going to a sharing dinner with his friends so I made him Caezar salad and brownies.

I also made fava beans fatteh ,samboosek and a simple salad for ftoor.

For dessert I made Greek semolina cake and got these cute mini desserts filled with pistachios,they’re good but a bit hard !!

Eggs and Potatoes.

Hello everybody.

Great party last night,lovely bride and groom and guests,but high heels are torture ,don’t you agree with me ladies???

Too tired to cook today,plus we have a dear guest visiting from Beirut,so I’m kind of busy,but have to make something for lunch anyway. An easy light option is boiled or pouched eggs with boiled potatoes on the side and a big bowl of salad.

You simply boil potatoes till tender,slice them,add salt,pepper and olive oil then boil eggs,slice them beside potatoes, you can add chopped green onions on top if you like.

I do eggs in a special mold I bought long time ago from Cyprus, where you cook them on a water bath,so they’re more pouched than boiled.

I know this seems like a silly dish but it’ll do as long as hubby and kids don’t complain,will make it up to them this weekend 🙂
