Hello everybody.
Tried this new recipe I’ve seen in So Yummy page.
You simply empty top of buns, sprinkle with garlic, parsely olive oil or butter then some cheese.
Add sautéed meatballs, a bit of marinara sauce then another layer of cheese.
Put all in the oven for 15-20 minutes and that’s it.
Easy, delicious and presentable.

Hello everybody.
All family men were invited to lunch Mansaf-ing as we say, on the occasion of my dear cousin’s wedding.
Well it was a good opportunity for family women to gather, I made a small loving meal for my mom,mother in-law, sisters and sister In-law and we celebrated Mother’s day together.
Made beautiful mini cakes with pineapple, strawberries, croquants and red velvet,though they took lots of time but outcome was really cute.
Lunch menu was steaks with mushroom sauce, baked potatoes on salt, fettuccine, eggplant fatteh and a big salad.
beautiful meal finale.
Happy International Woman’s Day lovely ladies around the world.
I’m sure all women wherever they are and whatever they do deserve to honored and thanked everyday cause each one is important and plays a significant role no matter how small.
On this occasion I cooked this elegant lunch today, steaks stuffed with thinly stripes of veggies ( carrots, onions, peppers and green onions) with sauce and mashed potatoes.
* season steaks with salt, pepper and all spice then add the vegetables, roll and close them with toothpicks.
* add a bit of soy sauce on top of each roll
* heat some oil and butter well, add rolls till golden on all sides, lower heat and leave to cook slowly for 15-20 minutes.
* remove from pan and leave to rest
* in the same oil add remaining veggies, saute till golden then add one tablespoon of flour and 1 1/2 cups water.
*stir very well till creamy then mix all in blender to get a thick creamy sauce.
Nice,elegant easy lunch served with mashed potatoes.

Thank God it was a big success, food was delicious and everybody was happy . Congratulations lovely bride to be.

Hello everybody.
Had to make a lunch quickly cause boys had dentist appointment and may not be allowed to eat for hours afterwards.
I was about to make shawerma with some spinach in pitta bread I made this morning for mom’s gathering but boys suggested that I’ll try to make the Fajita Loaf style but as steak sandwich,result was really delicious they even loved it more than chicken.
Filling was sauteed shredded beef and onions with steak spices and chili then when done I added some Gouda and cream cheese. Of course you can add sweet peppers and mushrooms.
Nice new dish to add to our menu.
