No Eggs,No Flour,No Milk Cookies.

Hello everybody.

Gave my second cooking lesson today,really excellent one,we did carrot soup,lettuce mushroom salad,chicken rolls filled with broccoli and cheese then dessert was chocolate mousse.

Went back home with an intention to make these cookies,actually a member in banancooking group asked me if I have no flour,no eggs and no milk recipes cause recently she developed an allergy to all these ingredients, so after some research I found a couple of ones, did the cookies today and hopefully will try bread or loaf tomorrow.

Well cookies tasted really good and crunchy,ingredients are all healthy so everybody on diet can eat them without guilt even if not allergic.

Ingredients and method:

* 3 ripe bananas.

* 1 cup raisins ( I added some cranberries also)

* 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp baking powder.

* 1/2 cup crushed mixed nuts.

* 1/3 cup oil.

* 2 cups oatmeal.

*1/2 tsp cinnamon.

* pinch of salt.

* mash bananas then mix all ingredients together.

* use a small spoon and scoop from the batter into a baking tin,then bake for 10-13 minutes .

* leave to cool then store in a closed jar or box.

Appetizer Platter.

Hello everybody.

After yesterday’s big breakfast I went shopping to prepare for dinner,our dear friends Salam and Flora came to dinner last night with sweet adorable baby Mariam,lovely evening and food.

I made a big appetizers platter similar to the one we ate last week at Bonita Restaurant,well it was close enough but not as perfect. It contained avocados with tomatoes,smoked salmon with cream cheese dill filling on a bed of rocca, frilled chicken with pesto sauce on top and grilled eggplants ant tomatoes with cheese in between or as they name it eggplant tower.

Salad was Rocca with pomegranate seeds,walnuts and cheese, main dish was grilled steaks with lemon thyme butter on top and baked potatoes and veggies on the side.

Dessert was an extremely rich delicious Velvet Cake done by my lovely guest ( homemade from scratch), you’re right Flora tasted even better today, thank you my dear <3

table setting.

Fettuccine Alfredo with Sun-dried Tomatoes.

Hello everybody.

Had to cook something in a hurry this morning, something that can be heated quickly when we arrive home from school ,so fettuccine with cream was a great choice.

I did this dish before,a small addition to chicken,mushrooms,pesto,cheese and cream was sun dried tomatoes,really gave a twist to it , good news many left for tomorrow 🙂

The Lebanese House/ Um Khalil <3

Hello everybody.

After calling most of Amman Lebanese restaurant and failing to find a free table for lunch we decided to head north to Jerash to the Lebanese Restaurant or as it’s famous name Um Khalil, though called also to check but luckily a table was available.

Food was delicious as usual except the bbq-ued meat , a bit greasy, but all in all it was good and service was excellent.

Nice ride and scenery better than staying in the city after all !
