Hello everybody.
Sorry for the laziness but Ramadan is really tiring specially after Iftar, one gets lazy and tired.
Strategy this month is to make little amounts of every dish so as not to have leftovers next day ,the past couple of days I made many dishes.
rocca sun dried tomatoes grilled cheese salad.
qatayef and muhalbieh with caramel.
Hello everybody.
Two days passed, I can say they were easy and smooth.
First day ritual dish was stuffed vine leaves and courgettes, mushroom soup and fatoush. Typically dessert was qatayef filled with cheese and walnuts.
Second day’s dish was okra in the oven and Iranian rice, as for dessert I tried a new recipe that I sorted out by mixing many similar ones of the same ingredients.
Pistachio rose water dessert, base was crumbled biscuits and butter,topping was a mix of whipping cream, heavy cream, yogurt, pistachios, rose water, pinch of saffron. All beaten till creamy then onto biscuits, cooled then garnished with pistachios.
Simple elegant dessert with Ramadan spirit in it.

Hello everybody.
A soup is a must in this weather,was about to make lentils but then it’ll be heavy with yesterday’s cabbage leftovers.
So I decided to make carrot soup instead.Came across this recipe while looking for a new or different version from the one I usually make, really yummy and full of flavors.
Must say that garnish must be yogurt and fresh coriander but I used oregano instead cause I don’t have it.
Ingredients and method :
* 2 tablespoons butter.
* 1 small finely chopped onion.
* 2 cloves garlic.
* 2 cups chopped carrots (4-5 big ones)
* 1 tsp fresh grated ginger.
* 1 tsp all spice.
*1 tsp cumin.
* 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth.
*salt and pepper.
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
* 1 tsp honey.
* 1/2 cup yogurt.
* fresh chopped coriander.
* saute onions, garlic in hot butter till tender.
* add carrots, ginger and all spice.
* add stock and leave to simmer till carrots are tender.
* spin all together with hand mixer or blender till you get a smooth creamy texture.
* add lemon juice and honey.
* season with salt and pepper as preferred.
* leave to simmer for another 20 minutes.
* garnish with yoghurt and coriander upon serving.
Really good believe me!

Hello everybody.
Seems like winter is back again, weird weather this morning, rainy with heavy fog.
Well I’m sure a big percentage of Jordanians cooked lentil soup today, it’s a rain tradition i guess.
Today I’ll do it with a twist, and member in banancooking.com made this dish and while ago and it looked interesting.
You cook soup as usual but I made it a bit thicker, then you assemble it with all fatteh ingredients. Roasted bread, soup then tahini yogurt sauce and garnish it with cooked minced meat, almonds and parsley.
A big big success, very fulfilling but not heavy, mother in-law and kids loved it,waiting for hubby’s approval now.
end result .
Hello everybody.
Another cold and rainy day, I’m definitely positive most houses in Jordan have a soup on the table today , it’s the most effective heart and body warming tool these days 🙂
I made noodles with carrots and peas soup,added a bit of green onions and garlic, yummy with a twist of lemon juice.
Though I have some courgettes from yesterday but won’t be enough as always so I made some macaroni and cheese, pasta mixed with sauteed onions,mushrooms and two packs cooked mushroom soup with cheese on top.
and yes did another batch of marmalade 🙂
