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.
A simple elegant cheese platter with dried fruits and strawberries with crackers or breads can be the best thing for a small gathering specially if done with love to loving friends.
I used a selection of cheeses, white, cheddar, Camembert and kashkaval with healthy dried fruits, some olives and a selection of jams (figs,quince, marmalade)
I also made some sweet light cheese served with mixed berries jam.

Hello everybody.
Today I was honored to cater a workshop at the Ministry of Water and Irrigation for a group of Dutch experts.
I can proudly say it was a job well done, everything was perfect and work went on smoothly.
I did assorted cookies and snacks for the coffee break then followed by burgers, shawerma and falafel for lunch.
Along with zatar and cheese puffs all with veggies and olives.
Grand finale was a beautiful lemony cake topped with berries and ganache.

Good morning lovely people.
Beautiful weather and a yummy simple breakfast is a great way to start the weekend.
Hello everybody, hope you’re all enjoying the amazing weather.
Well today I can assure you that everything happens for a reason, I absolutely had no idea what to cook this morning then by coincidence I found out that my freezer was off since a while from the loosened wire so I had to cook melted stuff. End result were fava beans and steaks in yogurt, two pieces of scallop and two burgers.
My son decided to stuff burgers with cheese so I coated it with eggs, flour and breadcrumbs then deep fried the ball.
Result was variety of yummy stuff at the end
fava beans in yogurt
Hello everybody.
Full busy weekend as usual, best thing about it is the warm sunny weather, we even had lunch outdoors today.
Yesterday’s lunch was spaghetti with tomato sauce, minced meat and mushrooms,then we had guests coming in the evening so I made a simple basic cake, another batch of walnut cookies and a colorful cheese veggies platter.
This morning I went to a lovely farmer’s market, got a bunch of fresh basil which means pesto sauce was done immediately then lunch was crunchy chicken breasts, Nigella Lawsin’s recipe again, a big bowl of fatoush and a delicious Caprese salad.
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as well.
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.
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.
