Crunchy Baked Wedges.

Hello everybody.
How’s your weekend so far? Weather turned crispy cold and dusty not enjoyable for an outing right?
Lunch was cheese burgers and crunchy spiced wedges,you cut potatoes with skin into wedges and mix well with pesto sauce,chili,rosemary, oregano,breadcrumbs,sun dried tomatoes,salt ,pepper and olive oil then bake uncovered till done and crispy. Salad was beetroot and lettuce topped with feta cheese and vinaigrette.

Upon kids request I baked more peanut butter chocolate cookies cause I only left some for them yesterday. Love this recipe very easy and quick.

Fun in the Sun Again :)

Hello everybody.

Just came back from a lovely day and evening by the pool side at my best friend’s house,we had a blast as usual, maybe you all figured from my older posts that I have a group of best friends since childhood,always a pleasure to be together and share lunches,dinners,trips or even a 30 minutes cup of coffee.It’s true that real friendship is a big important asset these days that cannot be replaced, love you my besties <3

Lunch was beef and chicken burgers,potato wedges and nuggets.Dessert was the apple pudding eclairs I made yesterday which was just delicious and cooling .

Thank you my dear friend for the lovely day 🙂

Mushroom Cheese Burgers.

Hello everybody.
Still in vacation spirit, nobody wanted cooked food plus weather is hot and I didn’t have time, so homemade burgers are the choice.
As a twist my son suggested to add sauteed mushrooms and cheese in top when done.he even shaped the cheese slices, really tasty ♡

Burgers in a Bun and Nachos.

Hello everybody.

Middle of Ramadan now,hope you’re all doing well so far!

I went through my blog recipes last night,it’s been almost 6 months,209 posts, wow!

Anyway I remembered this recipe,burger in a bun and decided to make it today,plus a big plate of nachos, yummy yummy.

With the extra dough i made a big sesame loaf like the ones you buy from bakeries,wasn’t puffed like them,but tasted really fresh.

Enjoy the game tonight,Go Germany <3

Chicken Burgers.

Hello everybody. As every Friday what to eat for lunch is always a problem.

I was about to tell the boys to order food cause I was busy helping my brother moving his stuff to his new house. Can’t believe my little bro getting married this week. I’m so excited ♡♥♡♥.

Back to lunch plans, found out I do have time to cook when done, kids said burgers, decided to make chicken not beef this time for a change. Also I made hot potatoes as a side dish, will try new kind of mixed spices i bought last Saturday.

Ingredients and method:

* 3 big boneless chicken breasts finely chopped.

* 1 chili pepper.

* 1 green pepper.

* 2 cloves garlic.

*1 small onion.

* 1/2 cup bread crumbs.

* 1/2 cup milk.

* salt and pepper.

* mix all ingredients very well in food processor .

* wet your hand with water and form round balls, cover them with bread crumbs and flat them to burgers.

* keep in fridge to harden for 1 hour.

* grill them or roast in the oven till golden.

* serve with veggies and cheese.

Potatoes were good but kids said spices I usually use are tastier, these have too much curry.

Fresh Sauteed Asparagus.

Hello everybody.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend.

We went for a drive noon then ended up stopping by our dear friend Salam’s farm for coffee.

This farm or actually house is located in the beautiful picturesque village Rmeimeen, you can’t imagine how quiet and relaxing this place is, specially now, green hills and valleys, just perfect.
Our friend cultivates many vegetables and fruits, we always go home loaded with whatever is in season.Today he gave me a big bunch of fresh asparagus.

Back home to make lunch, took out burgers,made some caramelized onions with mushroom sauce as a twist, lovely with pickles on top.
Also made simple salad but added croutons, summaq and some hard labaneh balls dipped in sesame seeds, ate that at a restaurant the other day, they even gave it a fancy name “Jarash Salad”.
As for the asparagus I simply sauteed them in butter, olive oil and garlic then sprinkled lemon juice on top when tender. DELICIOUS !

Great lunch, we were even lucky weather is warm and ate outdoors♡♥

Burgers in a Bun!

Hello everybody.
Finally the weekend is here. It’s been a long week, full of events.

Well today kids usually go out so I make a light lunch specially if we’re going out at night also.
I still have some burgers in the freezer from last time , so to make a change in taste from regular ones I kneaded a dough, same one I usually do. Grilled burgers till medium done then assembled them in the dough as usual burgers, then baked them altogether.
They really tasted good, juicy and all flavors infused together.
I also made some carrot soup as a starter.

Have a nice weekend my friends♡♥.

Homemade Burgers♡♥

Hello everybody.

Friday is usually family day.Mom and my precious brothers came for coffee noon time,a Friday ritual♡♥

In most Jordanian houses it’ll be the only day of the week that all family members are home lunch time..I bet mansaf(منسف )
،maqloubeh( مقلوبه ) or msakhan( مسخن ) are on many lunch tables today.

Well as for me.kids wanted homemade burgers with fries.usually I buy them readymade from the butcher.but today I did them from scratch.I found hundreds of recipies on the internet.they’re all similar.so I did most popular one.

Basic ingredients are:
*minced meat (I bought half beef with half lamb).
*1 small onion.
*1 clove garlic.
*1 cup bread crumbs.
*1 egg.
* 1 small green hot pepper (optional).
*salt.pepper.
Method:
*grate onion and crush garlic very fine.
*cut hot pepper very fine.
*combine all with meat, egg, salt and pepper.
*mould into balls then by using burger mould shape them into burgers.you can shape them by hands of course.
*leave in fridge for 15-20 minutes.
*heat the grill and cook them according to each one’s taste…medium or well done.

Today I made 2 sauces to add on burgers:
* caramelized onions with mushrooms: slice onions, add butter, 1 small spoon sugar and put on low heat till caramelized then add mushrooms, salt, pepper and bit of water.leave to simmer till sauce thickens.
* pickles with mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup all mixed together.
*of course you need sliced veggies and most important thing French fries.
Today boys made sunny side up eggs with the burgers…Sunshine Burger they call it!!!!
