Day Off!

Hello everybody.

Today I decided to take the day off,we had cheese sandwiches at noon and maybe we’ll have an early dinner somewhere out, I’m in no mood to cook at all,so excuse me for not posting a dish today. I know many of you have the same feeling every now and then:)

Nevertheless remember yesterday’s berries? I made the rest of them jam cause I washed them all so this morning they were not so fresh, same way I did the apricot jam but I sieved them when done to remove all seeds.

I also made miniature jam cookies,same dough as the ones I made in big tray but molded it in small cupcake papers,added jam and nuts and baked them for 15 minutes. Nice treat to my son’s friends when they gather at night .

Gardening !

Hello everybody,hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Today is gardening Friday, it’s a ritual each year to go to plant nurseries and remodel our garden,we’re even late this year,so today is the day.Started early in the morning and just finished planting now,not me of course, I’m only my hubbies helper,to be honest I never planted anything and lived so I gave up long time ago!! all credit goes to Abu Khalil for sure <3.

At lunch time we crashed at my mother-in law,she already made roasted chicken and potatoes and I quickly made pasta with white cheese,pesto sauce and parsley as a side dish.

As a reward after a long hot day working outside I made a dish of Banana Split but without cream, only ice cream,bananas,biscuits,fruit salad and chocolate syrup.

Lovely day,but work is yet not finished,we’re continuing tomorrow Insha’Allah.

Chocolate Mousse .

Hello everybody.

Weather still hot and cloudy again today, I do hope sun will come out tomorrow morning cause I have friends coming for breakfast, I will be disappointed if weather forced us to sit inside.

I made chocolate mousse for dessert today so as to save time and leave it to cool overnight,

this is an old recipe I have,love it cause of simple ingredients,no gelatin or eggs, I never do anything that has uncooked eggs, paranoid of it I guess 🙂

Ingredients and method:

* 3 cups milk.

* 3 tablespoons custard powder.

* 1 big spoon butter.

* 1 cup melted chocolate or one big bar cooking chocolate ( today I used the amount left from chocolate fountain )

* 3 tablespoons cocoa powder.

* 1 small pack cream.

* 1/2 cup sugar.

* plain biscuits.

* heat milk with custard till mixture thickens.

* add chocolate,sugar,butter and mix well.

* add cream.

* crush biscuits and rub them with a bit of butter.

* layer biscuits in small cups or a wide plate.

* add chocolate mixture,then decorate with anything you like, biscuits,coconuts or cocoa powder.

See? very easy and will be great with a strawberry on top and cup of coffee after breakfast,waiting for you lovely ladies .

Banoffee!!

Hello everybody.
Hope you’re enjoying the sunny warm weather.
Today lunch is at mom’s..stuffed vine leaves (ورق دوالي ). This week is all stuffing 🙂
I volunteered to make Caesar salad, I also made Panoffee in case my dear uncles pass by as every Friday.
Panoffee is a delicious easy kind of sweet, I usually make it when I have ripe bananas.
Ingredients :
*3-4 bananas.
* 1 cup brown sugar.
* 1 cup milk.
* 1 big spoon cornflour.
* 2 cups butterd crushed biscuits.
* 1 pack cream.
* fresh cream or chocolate for decorating.

Method:
* Spread the biscuits in a Pyrex.
* Cut bananas to circles and layer them over biscuits.
* Make caramel sauce by heating brown sugar with butter or you can use white sugar but you have to melt it and wait till it becomes brown.
* add cream and milk and stir very well.add 1 spoon cornflour to the milk before adding it so as to thicken the sauce.
* simmer caramel till thick.
* spread over bananas.
* decorate with any kind of chocolate or whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you like.

Enjoy♡♥
