Hello everybody.

A new creative idea, made kibbeh cupcakes then filled them with tzaziki which is finely chopped cucumbers with labaneh and yogurt seasoned with special seasoning ( garlic powder, oregano and mint) very elegant babies 😀😀😀

Hello again.
End of the day treat to wrap up my hubby’s birthday celebrations is this yummy desert, no cake this time cause I guess we had enough cakes and cookies over the last month.
Fried ice cream is our favorite dessert that we end up each meal ,though full, at the most delicious restaurant in Limassol, Meze Tavern. We usually order one portion and end up fighting for the last bite. Though owner doesn’t give her recipe to anyone but I’ve been searching for something close to it for so long, all recipes I found usually coat ice cream balls with crushed cornflakes or coconut but it’s not the same as the one we eat, last night I came across one that uses pancake mix so I decided to try to make it for our special occasion.
For a first trial it was not bad at all, gone in seconds actually, may thicken the mix next time or freeze ice cream for a longer period.
It’s an easy recipe but must be done and eaten at once, shape ice cream into balls then coat it completely with crushed biscuits and freeze for 3-4 hours, make pancake batter ( I added some orange zest for flavor) ,heat oil very well, coat ice cream balls with batter and into hot oil till golden.
Serve with maple syrup on top.
As I said they were good but not exactly like Meze Tavern’s ,hope one day Madame Kicoulla will share her secret recipe with me 😍
Hello everybody.
Cold rainy day,the kind that says a soup is extremely a must.
We had a late breakfast so a light lunch was efficient, though my hubby made Shakshouka but I only ate soup,heartwarming and tasty in this weather.
Found this recipe on Pinterest, simple tomato soup with cream and some basil but with a twist, you use a bun as a bowl, remove pulb then add a slice of Gouda cheese, roast a bit in the oven then add your soup.
Hello everybody.
Full eventful day, orders and lunch. Mom and my nephews came by as well, we all had a nice cup of tea with some hot from the oven suborek, filled with cheese. So yummy,we even felt we’re in a Turkish series.
Order included mini kibbeh and in pan, Egyptian cookies and baked Zaynab fingers.
Enjoy your weekend everyone, stay warm seems it’ll be cold and rainy.

Dessert was Apple Strudel, same recipe I did last year, always a success, did one for us as well.A small addition was some custard sauce with it but not the one with egg yolks and cream cause I didn’t have time so I just make simple custard with cream but a bit loose with vanilla and a bit of cinnamon.

Hello everybody.
Tried a new recipe today, loved its name “Broockies ” meaning it’s a mix of both brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
Recipe needed some adjustments specially the chocolates chip dough, it was so soft and flattened when baked, good thing I did one as test first.
End result was really good after adding more flour, I may decrease butter amount next time.
Ingredients and method :
Brownies dough :
Chocolate chip cookie dough.
Make a small ball of each dough then press them gently together to form a cookie shape then line on baking sheet or parchment paper.
Bake in a medium heated oven for 8-10 minutes.
leave to cool then store in a well closed jar.
Hello everybody.
