Artichoke Cherry Tomato Chicken.

Hello everybody.

Another new chicken recipe today since I have lots of cherry tomatoes so this one is the choice.

Chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, herbs then sautéed in some olive oil.When almost done add the tomatoes and artichokes.

Leave all to simmer for 20 minutes then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and roast a bit in the oven.

Healthy light and easy.

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.

Cherry Cake and Pasta with White Sauce.

Hello everybody.

Unfortunately not a bite from yesterday is left so I had to cook something today specially that my son has finals and wanted to eat quickly and go out to study.

So after searching for what to do I grabbed a pack of pasta and quickly made white sauce and some meat tomato sauce then fixed a big pan of bachemel pasta for today and tomorrow as well.

When done I made a lovely cherry cake upon my husband’s request, it’s been a while since I baked something, love this one it’s amazing with tea and coffee.

Beautiful Morning.

Hello everybody.

Beautiful morning after two hot dusty weather.

Woke up too early don’t know why, so by ten I was both bored and hungry so I decided to make a big breakfast or brunch actually.

Made mashed fava beans,sunny side ups, fried cheese plus labaneh and cheese.

I also tried the deep pan pizza but with olive oil and za’tar,not bad but not as tasty as a real manousheh.

Enjoy your weekend lovely people.

Pizza in a Pan.

Hello everybody.

Lazy cold cloudy Friday, why does it become like this on weekends????

Well at lunch time I suddenly decided to try this pizza recipe my cousin posted last week, a spreadable kind of dough in a pan, topped with pizza sauce, toppings and cheese then cooked on the oven. Turned out really good and extremely quick to be done as said in video.

While pizza on stove I made some Rock Cookies for the empty jar and send some to my friend on the occasion of birth of her first grandson, congratulations

Baked some of the cookie dough in a skillet,super yummy.

 

 

Ingredients and method of pan pizza :
# 1 cup flour.
# 2/3 cup warm water.
# 1/2 tsp baking powder.
# 1 tsp instant yeast.
# 1 tsp salt.
# 1 tsp honey.

# mix all these ingredients well together then spread evenly in a nonstick pan.
# add pizza sauce then any toppings you like ( basil,oregano, tomatoes, olives…)
# top with cheese.
# cover tightly and cook on the stove on high temperature for 5 minutes.
# remove pan lid a bit and lower heat to minimum and leave for another 10 minutes.
# toast top till crispy.

Quick and easy way to make your favorite pizza.
