These days, I’m having the time to try new recipes & do experiments in my kitchen. Whenever I find a recipe on the internet, I usually change it a bit, to have my own personal touch 
Original Recipe: Butternut Squash Gratin
This recipe is very easy to make, I just changed few things, instead of using 3 cups of butternut squash, I used 2 cups & 1 cup potato. & instead of the dried thyme, I used dried oregano & rosemary
Thanks to our dear blogger Q8Stig for being around at the time of the competition & taking amazing pictures of us while we were busy cooking & thinking of how to decorate our dishes.
Enjoy the pictures 
I”m beginning to have a good relationship with the kitchen after many years of resentment & hatred, these days i’m getting closer to it & actually enjoying my time there I’ve been craving bread pudding with nutella, googled some recipes & found one which I’ve found very VERY easy to make.
Thanks to sweet Toomzie for sharing this lovely healthy yummy dish on her blog. Once I saw it, I started drooling & wanted to try it immediately. The recipe has no chicken but I added half chicken to the avocado mix in the food processor because my husband must eat either chicken or meat in his main meals, so I thought chicken would be the perfect combination for this dish. I also used 1/4 cup lemon juice, it was more than enough for me. It tasted amazing.

you mix it
you eat it 
A couple of days ago, husband came back home, woke me up telling me that he got me a gift . . . stupid me, i got out of bed thinking that he got me something nice! Guess what? He got me a Crepe Maker. “Swerty, i got you a gift . . . Crepe Maker”
You should have seen my face . . . Crepe Maker cannot be considered as a gift! But he was so happy carrying it! He actually got it as a gift from Alwatan LOL 
So what did I do? I prepared the recipe for the crepe & got started
The crepe maker
The mix (2 cups flour, 2 eggs, 2 table spoon butter, & lil bit of salt)
Trying to handle the stick
trying to make the crepe . . . this is my 1st time.
Trying Raspberry jam
Nutella . . .
The Nutella was amazing
The raspberry was awful :/
Then i made a bigger one . . .
With Cheese . . . It was yummy
I’ve just made home made Frozen Yogurt
Thanks to the lovely Miss Egg for this recipe It’s so easy to make & you really don’t need that much of ingredients but it takes a lil bit of time to make it! Around 2 to 3 hrs
I’ll explain the recipe through pictures:
Ingredients:
Serving 1 person
- Choose 1 fruit flavor or you can mix as I did. Used half the box of Blueberries & Blackberries.
- Honey: I used 3 teaspoons, you can add as you wish but 2 tsp are enough.
- 1 Greek Yogurt
Mix the berries together. I didn’t over mix them because I wanted a lil bit of berry bits in the yogurt mix.
Add the yogurt & mix
then add the honey & mix. Don’t set the blender to the “juicer” so you won’t end up with a watery mix (Miss Egg’s advice)
Add the mix to a bowl & into the freezer.
make sure you get the mix out of the freezer & stir it to break the crystal edges every 30 minutes. DO NOT forget it in the freezer or you’ll end up with an ice-cream mix. Every 30 minutes get out, stir it, & back to the freezer. Do it for 2 to 3 hrs.
Voila . . . it’s ready to be eaten YUM YUM
Wooohoooo, I can’t believe I did this! My 1st cake ever! Never thought I’d be THAT good. It’s not good GOOD, bs it’s smth GOOD to me! If you know what I mean.
I was reading this magazine at work (forgot the name) and i saw this cake recipe in Arabic. It was a disaster but thanx to Noon I managed to figure out sm ingredients
I thought of surprising husband after he comes back from Diwaniya and it worked. I’m so happy but to be honest, it’s very sweet and heavy! y3ni, a small piece will be more than enough!
Ingredients
Mix the cake mix (Betty Crocker) with 1cup olive oil, 200gm buttermilk, 3 eggs & tsp Vanilla
Pour the mix in 2 different bowels, different sizes
Spread the frosting in the middle
add the smaller cake on the top and create a small hole in the middle
cover the cake with the frosting and freeze it for half an hour
Add more frosting and decorate with whatever you want. I mixed pecan bits with almond
cover the whole cake
add Vanilla ice cream in the little hole
et voila
My very lovely husband is teaching me how to be a good housewife & one of my tasks is to learn how to buy seafood from the Fish Market (as if I’m gonna go ). I’ve never been there, it was always either Dad or bro who go and buy some stuff. The smell just kills me whenever I go to Sultan Centre (Sharq) & actually being there inside the market wasn’t pleasant at all.
In the parking, I got outside the car and covered my nose with my hijab (veil), he looked at me and laughed! but the horror movie started inside the market itself, blood on the floor with dirty water and omg the smell, i was breathing from my mouth the whole time :/
We bought shrimp (2 kilos) & calamary (2 kilos). I asked him to let them cut it and clean it coz I ain’t doing so. Thank god they had that service!
I’m never ever going there! no matter what :S
P.S. Hubs called Dad and asked him to come have lunch with us on Friday. He told him that I’ll be cooking seafood without telling me about it first! Poor baba, he might suffer because I’ve never actually cooked seafood before except for Fish Fillet in the over
As some of you that I work til 4:30 pm and it’s somehow very exhausting to get back home & cook something decent for hubby. Sometimes he cooks which leads to a tragedy. I’ve always wondered what can I cook in less than an hour and it doesn’t cause alot of mess and that washing the dishes will be a piece of cake. Failed to find a recipe, til I read Ansam\’s post & it was the IT recipe I was looking for.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never ever cooked anything! I didn’t know hot to boil the macaroni & i had to call aunt to teach me while making sarcastic remarks about me being a lousy housewife not knowing how to boil MACARONI *sniff*. Anyways, i called hubby to get me cheddar cheese and told him not to eat anything because I’ll be trying something new.
Got back home & found him sleeping, which was a good thing because he’d always interrupt me in the kitchen with his famous line “yalla hurry up sweetie, i’m hungry” (P.S. he’s always hungry mashallah 3aleh). I had the space for myself & I followed Ansam’s directions. It was so easy & fun to make. The macaroni & cheese tasted so gooooood that hubby ate half of the pyrex
