Hello everybody.

Eventful Friday ,started with boiled eggs for breakfast then followed by a nice coffee at a lovely aunt’s house.Of course coffee wasn’t alone,she made some pastries and a delicious lemon cake.I made her a nice Cherry Cake as a gift :).

Afternoon my dear uncles came by for a cup of tea, such a short notice visit,couldn’t think of anything to serve,After looking through my fridge and pantry for something quick to do, best thing I could manage was some cheese rolls and olives, nuts,chocolate and marshmallows plus I found a pack of puff pastry in the freezer so I thought these would do as dessert, stuffed in cream and topped with syrup and pistachios.

Visit was really pleasant and joyful as always <3

Ingredients and method:

* 1 pack squared puff pastry.

* Cream filling:

* 1 cup powdered milk.

* 1 cup water.

* 1 tsp butter.

Crispy Tortilla Pizzas.

Hello everybody.

Bought these tortillas Saturday to do these pizzas and didn’t have time to do them till today, excellent when you don’t have time to make a dough. Even an extremely fast choice if you have ready pizza sauce and already grated cheese 🙂

You simply add pizza sauce on one tortilla,add any kind of topping you like, I made one salami,one roast beef,one only olives and one with only pesto and salami then add cheese. Top it with another tortilla on top and add some sauce and cheese on the surface. Bake them till crispy and golden on sides, really yummy yummy 🙂

One last tortilla left so made it as dessert, Nutella and crunch, FANTASTIC after lunch !

morning coffee with my best cousin <3

Nutella crime !

Eggs in a Bun.

Hello everybody.

In no mood to cook today,my son suggested to do this eggs in the bun thing he saw once on Instagram so we did, tasted good but more a breakfast than a lunch option but a good choice with the remaining chicken pie from yesterday.You simply remove the inside of the bun,stuff it with cheese,turkey or salami and add the eggs then cover with foil paper and put it in the oven till eggs are done.

I also made some orange marmalade cause I have lots of citrus fruits from Ghor sent to us from our dear aunt, love this kind of jam, my favorite actually.

I also made some jam biscuits,needed the jar to be honest,they’ll be a good treat for tomorrow’s hunting trip.

Well full long day , hoping for a relaxing weekend !!

biscuits and evening coffee 🙂

Potato Cups (بطاطا كاسات).

Hello everybody.

Still have some cabbages from yesterday but a small side dish is needed for sure cause it won’t be enough for all and because I’m going out for coffee with my friends to the Cake Shop I did this simple dish.

My mom used to make these cups too much when we were kids specially end of the week,really yummy, today they tasted exactly the same as old days, a pinch of nutmeg is the secret I guess.

Ingredients and method:

* 3-4 boiled till done potatoes.

* 2 eggs.

* small bunch chopped parsley.

* grated cheese ( white and cheddar usually)

* salt,pepper and pinch of nutmeg.

* mash potatoes with some salt,pepper then form it into cups and put them in fridge a while.

* mix eggs,cheese,parsley,salt,pepper and nutmeg.

* grease an oven pan then place potato cups and fill with mixture.

* bake in a well heated oven for 25-30 minutes.

Lovely Breakfast Gathering.

Hello everybody.

Thanked God for the lovely weather this morning,cause as I mentioned yesterday I have friends coming for breakfast, and setting outside was great, though it became hot around noon but we were almost done.

I love breakfast gatherings,as I said earlier to my Facebook group,you can have a simple homemade menu,and make a stylish table setting, results can be very nice and enjoyable,better than any fancy restaurant, at least you can chit chat freely and eat food made with love though it’s simple labaneh and cheese.

Today I didn’t bother myself a lot,dessert is ready in fridge ( chocolate mousse ). My friend volunteered to bring hummus and fatteh on her way, I made fava beans ( foul ), boiled eggs in my molds, plus a variety of cheeses,labaneh and olives.

We really had a great time,love you all 🙂
