Hello everybody.
Nice sunny day after a gloomy rainy week,feels great to have your coffee outdoor with some delicious biscottis.
Lunch was fresh Chicago style burgers from Miles stores with crispy beef bacon and sauteed mushrooms onions mix.These burgers are really tasty and well spiced specially with the crispy beef bacon.
Of course French fries and mixed veggies are a must with burgers 🙂
Enjoy your weekend.
morning coffee in the sun.
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 🙂
Hello everybody.
We all ate too much during this week ,lunches and dinners, so today we’re eating light to at least lessen the guilty feelings.
I made potato salad with dill and spring onions,grilled veggies tossed with pomegranate syrup and olive oil and this Mexican dish in an Arabic twist.
Learned this dish from my cousin, you simply cook some onions,tomatoes and black beans to form a sauce then spread it over the Nachos then add tahini sauce,chopped tomatoes,beans and some parsley on top. Really easy and light cause you don’t add cheese or butter,you can use light nachos for a healthier version.
Hope you all enjoying Friday so far.
Hello everybody.
How’s your weekend so far? Weather turned crispy cold and dusty not enjoyable for an outing right?
Lunch was cheese burgers and crunchy spiced wedges,you cut potatoes with skin into wedges and mix well with pesto sauce,chili,rosemary, oregano,breadcrumbs,sun dried tomatoes,salt ,pepper and olive oil then bake uncovered till done and crispy. Salad was beetroot and lettuce topped with feta cheese and vinaigrette.
Upon kids request I baked more peanut butter chocolate cookies cause I only left some for them yesterday. Love this recipe very easy and quick.
Hello everybody.
Lovely sunny day,hope all weekend stays like this,started with a lovely breakfast outside in the sun, new olives are done they’re absolutely delicious.
I was invited to a gathering noon time and just before I left I decided to bake some cookies to take with me,after searching in my books for something quick I didn’t do before I found this super easy one, I used Quality Street chocolates, simply crushed a bunch in the food processor instead of normal chocolate chips,this box has been on the coffee table since Adha Eid so I’d better use it rather than eat it alone,don’t you all love these chocolates? never bored of them!
Ingredients and method:
* 1/2 cup butter ( reduce it a bit if using heavy chocolates)
* 1/2 cup peanut butter.
* 3/4 cup brown sugar.
* 1 egg.
* 2 tablespoons milk.
* 1 tsp vanilla.
* 1/2 small spoon baking soda.
* 1/2 tsp baking powder.
* 1 3/4 cups flour.
* 3/4 cup chocolate chips or crushed ones of any kind.
* Mix butters and sugar well till creamy then add egg,vanilla,milk.
* add flour,baking soda and powder then last thing add the chocolates.
*Shape into balls then flatten them a bit,usually I use a coffee cup bottom.
* bake in a medium heated oven for 10-13 minutes or till bottoms are golden.
* cool then keep in cookie jar or tightly closed tin.
These will sure put a big smile on a child’s face specially with a hot chocolate in a cold day 🙂
don’t you just love these?
morning breakfast,yummy!
Hello everybody.
What a day!! up very early don’t know why,been on the run till now I even didn’t have time to cook something at all, plus it’s a gloomy rainy day , hate to start a month like this but keep saying tomorrow is a better day 🙂
I did pumpkin soup very quickly cause I already have some cooked from yesterday, really good in this cold weather with some baked pitta bread !
It’s easily done just saute some chopped onions and pumpkin pulp then add salt,pepper,ginger and cinnamon, when done add 4 cups chicken broth or water with 1 cube Maggi and boil for half hour, mix in blender or hand mixer and add some cream or milk then simmer for 15 minutes.
I’ll make a good meal tomorrow for sure to compensate today’s lousy meal, though nobody at home grumbled and each one managed with a sandwich, till tomorrow then 🙂
Hello everybody.
Yesterday’s lunch was a recipe from Al-Rai newspaper 3 weeks ago,wanted to do it since then.
It’s basically Kofta balls or fingers cooked in tomatoes,onions and some tomato paste (كباب هندي) but instead of eating it with rice you serve it as usual fatteh.
Start with a layer of toasted or fried bread,then meat tomato layer then tahini sauce. Finish the dish with chopped parsley and toasted nuts on top,really good try it.
Well as for today’s lunch,we ate at Mom’s. Stuffed vine leaves and courgettes, salad and fruit salad. Delicious thank you my dear mommy.

Hello everybody.
After calling most of Amman Lebanese restaurant and failing to find a free table for lunch we decided to head north to Jerash to the Lebanese Restaurant or as it’s famous name Um Khalil, though called also to check but luckily a table was available.
Food was delicious as usual except the bbq-ued meat , a bit greasy, but all in all it was good and service was excellent.
Nice ride and scenery better than staying in the city after all !

Afternoon we went to Irbid for Caraway at my husband’s cousin to congratulate her for the new baby boy, then went to my cousin’s house for a big family gathering as a farewell for those leaving back after the vacation, we had Knafeh and a big cake on the occasions of both my dear twin cousin’s birthday and wife of one of them. It was a very nice party full of love <3
