Big BBQ dinner party :)

Morning everybody.

Last night was a blast,we have cousins visiting from abroad and as usual a BBQ in the garden is a tradition whenever they come.

I wasn’t responsible for grilling or handling the meat,but did the salads,appetizers and sweets. All delicious and either wiped out or gone take away !

I made white cheese with tomatoes and pesto,tabouleh,pasta salad,eggplant dip,chili tomatoes,hummus and yoghurt. dessert was creme caramel and peanut butter brownies.

Getting ready for Eid for sure, as I can see from banancooking group many of the members started baking goodies !! كل عام وانتم جميعا بالف خير.

I started today,made Date Rolls,planning to do Rock cookies and something with walnuts if I have time Insh’Allah.

As for dinner today I made green beans and rice,though everybody didn’t like my choice but I had no other option, anyway they all ate it at the end,guess from hunger 🙂

fried some Kibbeh as well.

Kofta with vegetables and Chicken Wings.

Hello everybody.

Long working day also,bright side is we finished early so had an hour nap before entering the kitchen!

Today’s ftoor was kofta with vegetables,only potatoes,peppers and tomatoes,no eggplants or courgettes and a some hot spicy chicken wings.

I also made mashed fava beans and a bowl of salad.

Kabseh :)

Hello everybody.

Wanted to cook kabseh from last week,but always got objection from my youngest cause he doesn’t like it,so since I have a hamburger left from yesterday Kabseh it is then.

I also made aubergine dip ( matabal) and a salad plus the hot tomato coriander sauce that I usually make alongside the rice.

No dessert today,a piece of chocolate did the job 🙂

Lamb Chops !!

Hello everybody.

Today I wanted to make something that my youngest son likes cause he’s not eating well since beginning of Ramadan so I went bought some fresh lamb chops,his favorite dish 🙂

My eldest is going to a sharing dinner with his friends so I made him Caezar salad and brownies.

I also made fava beans fatteh ,samboosek and a simple salad for ftoor.

For dessert I made Greek semolina cake and got these cute mini desserts filled with pistachios,they’re good but a bit hard !!

Spaghetti and Meat Balls.

Hello everybody.

We all ate too much yesterday,kebabs were really yummy so decided to lighten it for this evening.

I made simple spaghetti with olive oil salt and pepper,meat balls with tomato sauce,garlic bread,Caezar salad and french pizza. Kind of Italian night !!

No dessert cause we’re going to visit my brother I’m sure we’ll eat dessert there.

Steak Sandwiches and Chili Potatoes.

Hello everybody.

Hot weather today ,no place for a hot meal or meal.

So I made steak sandwiches with some fried chili potatoes and I have some pizza from yesterday.

To be honest I made a new cake,got the recipe from Instagram but it turned out a failure,don’t know why,though it’s very easy and seemed yummy but no no,total failure 🙁

How are you all? hope you’re not tired from fasting long hours!!

Today’s ftoor is kofta with sliced tomatoes and green peppers,chicken quesadillas ,broad beans salad and Greek salad the way we ate it in a cozy restaurant in Limassol Marina called Derliciuos ,it’s basic Greek salad but with cute presentation.

Ingredients and method:

* puff or baclava pastry roasted till golden.

* Anari cheese or any sweet white cheese with some sugar and rose water added to it ( like the one you use for qatayef)
