Summery Watermelon Salad.

Hello everybody.

Back to normal life routine today, went grocery shopping and kitchen started buzzing after a three day vacation.

Since it’s extremely hot and nobody wants to eat something hot or heavy after eating in restaurants past couple of days one feels so full right?
Well end result for lunch was this amazingly cool salad which consists of watermelon cubes, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and sprinkled with green onions, mints and lemon slices, I then added a drizzle of pomegranate sauce and olive oil. Really yummy.

I also made some pasta with white cheese and parsley and tacos. All very delicious.

cool kind of salad.

Hello everybody.

My big artichoke plant needs harvesting,they’re much much better than last year’s ones, no insects at least.

Hello everybody.

Long hot hectic day, among-st all day work Roya TV called to ask me to go cook tomorrow another time, doubled my chores for today but never-mind I’m so happy and excited, this means yesterday’s episode was a success.

Lunch today was many leftovers with a big green salad with sun-dried tomatoes, grilled white cheese and some pine nuts,dressing was simple vinaigrette with a bit of pomegranate sauce.

Kofta with Tahini Sauce.

Hello everybody.

Today I splitted the cooked kofta balls into two pans to satisfy all family members.

One pan with onions, garlic, potatoes and tomato sauce for the boys and the other with some potatoes and tahini sauce on top. All then in the oven till a bit roasted.

Love kofta with tahini and this was the only solution to eat it cause mostly I’ll eat it alone, don’t mind that at all

Grandma’s Pasta and Tuna Salad.

Hello everybody.

Mid week light meal, we usually have one either Tuesdays or Thursdays, no meat, chicken or heavy cooked stuff.

Each one of the boys wanted something and since they’re both easy and needs minimum effort I did the two.

Old fashioned local pasta with local white cheese and parsley or as we used to call it Teita’s pasta,simple delicious one I even bought the old kind (Ghazal number 1) a must for this dish.

Other one was tuna salad, made a rich dressing containing mustard, mayonnaise, relish, chili jam, lemon juice,oil and salt then added all salad ingredients and tossed everything together, fresh and nutritious.
