Hello everybody.
Have an order for a lovely friend, she ordered steak roll, chicken pie and a carrot cake.
A chance to make two pies cause kids love it and it’s been a while since I did it. Heart warming dish in this crispy cold weather.
this one was our lunch.

Hello again.
A quick satisfying lunch in a busy day Chicken Ceazar salad, fresh and healthy cause of the little amount of mayonnaise cause I use thick yogurt with it.
For the dressing :
A juice of half a lemon.
1 small teaspoon mustard.
2 big spoons mayonnaise. 2 big spoons yoghurt ( a trick so as not to use too much mayonnaise).
Salt.pepper.dried oregano…and a small cup olive oil.
A useful way to get a thick creamy dressing is to put all ingredients in a tightly closed jar and shake it very well….very easy.
fulfilling easy salad.
Hello everybody.
Since yesterday’s lunch was so old fashioned today’s choice is extra Italian!
Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and chicken was the main dish, on the side I made this yummy sort of garlic bread but with rich stuffing.
Saw this recipe on Facebook yesterday,you mix some chopped artichokes, spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella or kashkaval or cheddar as you like, season with garlic powder salt and pepper and any other herbs like basil or oregano.
Cut the baguette to three pieces, remove the inside and stuff it with the mixture . Cut to small slices then brush all with butter, garlic powder and parsley ( I used thyme instead).
Wrap the loaf with foil paper, bake for 20 minutes then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.
Serve hot with any pasta or pizza, so easy and delicious.

Hello everybody.
Lunch today was mloukhieh from yesterday, fresh from the farm and so yummy with garlic and lemons.
Alongside with it I made these cute fresh courgette flowers that u couldn’t resist not bring cause they were so intact, a waste to throw them away.
Stuffed with cheddar and Parmesan cheese, garlic and oregano then dipped in an egg,milk, flour batter with a pinch of salt and baking powder.
So crunchy and tasty, I even took some for the guy working at grocery store cause he can’t believe or imagine that these can be cooked.
