Prettiest Maqloubeh.
Hello everybody.
Today’s lunch was eggplant maqloubeh but with a twist.
Saw this method of arranging maqloubeh on Instagram, an easy nice way specially if you have guests.
You simply arrange eggplant slices around and in bottom of pan, cook rice in broth halfway then arrange meat and rice inside eggplants.After that add a bit of broth and keep pan on very low heat till all done together.

No Bake Banana Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bites.
Hello everybody.
Had these three ripened bananas in my fruit basket that said please use me 😀😀
Best thing to do was this recipe I always pops out on Facebook, easy energy balls that serves great as snack or breakfast even.
Just mash your bananas, add oatmeal, crushed biscuits, honey and peanut butter (optional), pinch of cinnamon then mix well and form into balls.
I drizzled chocolate on top as well, really yummy 😋

fava beans fatteh.
New dish was the squid ink pasta I got as a present from Maysas Pasta yesterday
though it’s usually done with fish or shrimps but unfortunately I didn’t have the time to buy some so I made it with garlic, pesto, sun dried tomatoes and lemon zest.So yummy and fresh.
Chicken Curry and Mloukhieh.
Hello everybody.
How’s your weekend so far? cold cloudy weather , it’s like winter all over again 🙁
Well guess a chicken curry is just perfect in this weather, hot and spicy and a favorite for my eldest son.
As for an option for my hubby who doesn’t like curry at all I made some fried mloukhieh , meaning cooked with some onions ,garlic and minced meat with olive oil, salt and pepper. No broth at all and eaten with bread , don’t know why they call it Bourani Mloukhieh.
