Hello everybody.
First day of the Holy month of Ramadan, wish Muslims all around the world a month full of spirituality and forgiveness.
A usual custom in our house first dish will be stuffed vine leaves and courgettes with yogurt cucumber salad, fatoush and mushroom soup. My sister in-law will bring lentil soup and boiled eggs and potatoes.
I also baked a big loaf and sliced it to squares a must for my son every year.
Good thing weather is warm so as we’ll eat outdoors.
Hello everybody
No cooking today not only cause tomorrow is the first day of Ramadan but nobody’s home lunch time so I fixed myself a labaneh and Seniora sandwich with a pickle with remaining beans salad, desert was white cheese with apricot jam I made last night.
Noon time I made a big brownies pan for my son going to a picnic and some extra pickles.
Ramadan Kareem again.

Hello everybody.
Did a massive fridge and freezer cleaning today and took out many things stored since a long time so as to do something useful or throw them away.
Result was a mix dried fruits,nuts, crushed biscuits,blueberries, oats all bound together with honey and molasses with a bit of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. They’ll make a super snack during Ramadan specially at suhour time cause they’re full of nutrients and fiber which will help during fasting next day.
Another outcome was a plate of chickpeas with tahini sauce ( مسبحه) decorated with parsley and nuts.
Lunch was Shakshouka, no cooking till beginning of Ramadan, that’s my decision so far.

Hello everybody.
Another busy day though it was planned to be a relaxing Friday.
Well thank God that I have a pack of kebab meat that were not done last night so they were a rescue today at lunch,grilled them with some onions and summaq, did some yogurt mayonnaise dip with it.
On the side I made two loaves of cheesy garlic bread one for lunch and the other for tomorrow’s picnic.

Hello everybody.
My hubby started planting some veggies in the farm in a small scale for household use.
First crop started yesterday, a big box of fresh courgettes, separated big ones for sautéed use, mediums stuffed today and cooked in tomato sauce and small ones to stuff with meat for ablama, I’ll prepare and freeze them for Ramadan, a rescue in a busy or tiresome day.
Cooked pulp for Zaid as usual!

Hello again.
Was planning to cook green beans today but all plans changed cause I went grocery shopping at this new supermarket and bought some fresh ka3ek and baked eggs and some cold cuts and cheeses so I decided to fix a quick brunch,good desicion cause boys slept late anyway so it was kind of a breakfast lunch meal.
Centro is a new centrally located supermarket in the middle of Madina Munawara strt. Very clean and tidy,various kinds of goodies specially some Italian brands of pastas olive oil and delicacies,fresh fruit and vegetables, freshly baked breads, excellent butcher…etc.
