Hello everybody.
Long full day, sometimes all work comes altogether like today.
First order was two lasagnas and cookies plus one for us.
Then I made a beautiful simple chocolate cake and chocolate chip cookies for my friend’s mom.
Then a sudden quick order came up, falafel rolls and shawerma for a young lady’s birthday.
All in all it was delicious and elegant.
Hello everybody.
Busy Saturday as usual but warm Summer breeze lightens up the day for me.
Lunch today was fresh green fava beans with olive oil,garlic and coriander along with rich ewe yogurt all bought from Jerash yesterday.
I also made this new salad recipe I saw in the newspaper, full of nutritious beans like corn, hummus and black beans tossed with lettuce,parsley and green onions. Dressing is simple vinegrett but I added some pomegranate sauce.
I also dipped some hard labaneh balls in olive oil, fresh thyme and rosemary leaves,again fresh from Jerash.
Hello everybody.
Order today was for a lovely young lady’s birthday, theme was all pink and green so I wrapped mini burgers and shawerma with same colors.
Result was delightful plates,loved them.
I also made her cheesecake pots.
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.
Hello everybody.
Thought I’d do some fresh bagels today,still have a pack of smoked salmon so a well combined rich bagel would be a lovely lunch for sure.
Did the same recipe as before, though today dough was so sticky so I added some more flour for easier handling.
Filled some with salmon, avocado, cream cheese, dill and capers and others with cheese,tomatoes and rocca.
Hello everybody.
Cookies order today, it’s been a while since I baked so many of them specially the crinkles.
Made chocolate crinkles but jumbo size, rock cookies and coconut orange ones.
All so yummy, love making these cute things 💝💝
Hello everybody.
I can proudly say that this cake is almost perfect as the original photo, unfortunately it’s not always the case when you try a new recipe,results can be awful sometimes.
Cake is simple basic chocolate cake baked in three pans while frosting is somehow new or kind of my own creation of a not too sweet or heavy frosting
I mixed :
* 2 packs whipped cream ( Dream Whip)
* 4 Kiri pieces.
* 1/2 cup fresh cream.
* 1 tablespoon butter.
* 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries.
* 1/4 cup strawberry sauce.
Taste and texture are perfect, topped cake with ganache and fresh strawberries.
Hello everybody.
Nice quick trip up North to Irbid, beautiful green hills and scenery.
As always we stopped by dairy products store on our way back, a speciality of the city,Irbid is known of its best yogurt ever specially these days.
Lunch was what we got, fresh ewe yogurt, labaneh and hot bread. Personally I consider this the best meal ever.
Hello everybody.

Dessert was chocolate mousse and cookies but I didn’t get the chance to take photos, sorry!
