Hello everybody.
Woke up late today with no idea what to cook,after searching through the previous posts decided to make homemade Kebabs and the usual salads and appetizers I make with them.
I made roasted tomatoes with chili and garlic ,yogurt with mint and oregano, avocado dip,french fries and a green salad.
I also made some vegetable kebabs,really yummy !!
Dessert was assorted fruits,fresh pineapple,cactus fruits and many more .
Hello everybody.
Really cold and cloudy today,as if we’re in Autumn not beginning of Summer, I hate this weather,undecided !!!
I made Kofta with tomatoes and peppers on top, as a side dish I thought I’ll try doing this recipe I saw on Ro’ya Tv the other day,but I didn’t use the ready mix for seasoning,I made them myself . It’s very simple and I’m sure kids will love it, Looks like a cake at the end that’s why they called it potato cake.
Ingredients and method:
*4-5 boiled and sliced potatoes.
* 2 crushed garlic cloves.
* 1 tsp butter and 1 olive oil.
* salt,pepper,chili,paprika.
* different kinds of cheeses.
* oregano or basil or rosemary as preferred.
* mix butter,oil with crushed garlic then add spices.
* in a spring pan brush bottom with butter mixture then line potato slices in overlapping pattern ( keep ends and crumbled pieces to the inside).
* brush potatoes again then sprinkle with cheese and oregano.
* add another layer of potatoes and cheese then bake for 15-20 minutes.
* remove from pan and garnish, serve with any kind of meat or chicken.
Hello everybody.
Back to normal routine after a long vacation, kids will want a good satisfying meal after school for sure.
My cousin posted this dish on my Facebook group last week and I promised to make it soon,though he made made it with chicken but today I used veal, but same other ingredients.
Turned out absolutely delicious,only guilty thing is that recipe contains fresh cream and butter,won’t be the same without them, though tastes great but I always try to avoid these fatty ingredients as much as possible. Guess once in a while won’t hurt don’t you think ?
Ingredients and method:
* Veal steaks.
* Fresh cream.
* Mushrooms.
* salt,pepper,all spice,ginger,garlic powder and oregano for seasoning.
* 1 maggi cube.
* mozzarella cheese.
* vegetables : carrots,courgettes,cherry tomatoes,sweet peppers, broccoli,corn and potatoes.
* Season veal with all mentioned and leave for 1 hour.
* saute veal with some butter on both sides till almost done.
* remove to another pan then saute sliced mushrooms till tender.
* add fresh cream and maggi cube and leave to simmer 10 minutes then pour over veal and leave all to simmer on low heat or in the the oven till done.
* add mozzarella cheese on top to melt before serving.
* bake veggies with a drizzle of oil in the oven.
* bake foiled potatoes and serve it with sour cream on the side.
* steam broccoli florets then cover them directly with iced water so as to keep the green color.
I don’t like to brag but it really looks and tastes better than any fine restaurant !!!!
hope you all try it,thank you Sa’ed for the recipe 🙂
Happy Labor Day everybody. Though Moms deserve this holiday cause they’re on call 24/7 , but it does seem hard to take a day off doing absolutely nothing, don’t you agree?

Hello everybody.
Friday’s lunch is always a dilemma cause all is home, late sleepers, late breakfast or outings. Decision wether to eat at home or what to eat is usually spontaneous.
As for today I stopped by grocery shop before Friday prayers, after a look of available vegetables and options got some ready frozen chicken scallops, baby potatoes, fresh bunch of basil and pasta.
I made roasted potatoes with rosemary, oregano and basil with olive oil, fried the scallops. Made fresh pesto sauce and mixed it with cooked pasta.
As for salad, I made sliced white cheese (originally made with fresh mozzarella ) with tomatoes, pesto sauce, walnuts and some fresh mint leaves on top, very refreshing.
Turned out a nice meal, even invited our cousin at the last minute.
Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter. ♡♥

Hello again.
We’ve been eating too much meat, chicken, fatty food this week. So today I’m keeping it simple.
I made tuna sandwiches, only added lettuce, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to a can of tuna, with some pickles in the sandwich and that’s it.
Early morning though I was rearranging the fridge, found lots of already cut cheeses from breakfast, thought to make cheese buns with them. So I kneaded a dough, exactly like pizza , then arranged cheese slices with tomato slices and thyme. Form them into buns and baked them. Perfect for school lunches or snacks for kids.
Well, I had some dough left so I cut some fresh oregano from the garden, chopped a tomato on them, added dry oregano and sesame and made more buns.
Ended with a light delicious lunch…important point is that hubby and kids loved it ♡♥♡♥
Hello everybody. How’s your weekend so far???
Hope you’re enjoying the great weather♡.
We’re invited to lunch today at my brother’s fiancee family house…off cooking also!!! . Actually we had great time and had delicious whole roasted lamp with rice followed by knafeh.
This morning I cut some fresh green za’tar leaves from my garden, so aromatic and tempting to do something with them.
I always bake these sticks whenever I have fresh za’tar, very good in the morning as quick breakfast with cheese or labaneh.
Ingredients and method:

* 2 big spoons of each eating za’tar (the one usually bought ready from stores ), dried oregano, sesame seeds, black seeds (قزحه ).
*1 spoon instant yeast.
* 1 spoon salt.
* 1 tsp sugar.
* 3/4 cup olive oil.
* 3 cups whole wheat flour.
* 3 cups white flour.
* enough lukewarm water to knead (1-2 cups)
* take one cup from the flour,add yeast, sugar and 1 cup water ( not hot nor cold) mix well and leave till bubbles are formed.
* add all remaining ingredients. Knead well with water enough to form an elastic non sticky dough.
* cover it with a bit if oil and leave for 1/2 hour to rise.
* spread it to a thin layer in a big oven tray.
* cut to long rectangles or any shape you like.
* bake in a well heated oven till golden from bottom then roast the upper part.
* store in a well closed jar or tin.
Enjoy♡♥♡♥.
