Life Through My Eyes
One of my favorite desserts [and one of my go-to desserts] are my Seven Layer Bars. Today, I did a very simple version of that by just using chocolate chips– not nuts, coconut flakes or peanut butter [for my picky brother!] What I used: 2 and 1/2 cups [approximately] of graham cracker crumbs 1 [14 …
Yesterday I made a [not baked] Nutella cheesecake [pie] type of thing. It’s a super easy [as always] dessert to make and it was a crowd pleaser [young and old]. The best part? it takes mere minutes to put together! What I used: Oreo pie crust [store-bought or homemade] 1 [8 ounce] package of cream …
Back at the end of August, when we had the party at our house, Nadia made and brought her homemade Oreo truffles [that she had mentioned to me in the past several times]. It was my first time trying them, and let me tell you: absolutely delicious. I may or may not have consumed most …
Early November, I made a frozen Oreos and Chocolate Pudding Pie… yum! I made this one frozen, because without a second thought I put it to set in the freezer instead of the fridge in the chaos… but it would be just as good [and I plan to try it next time] cold, but not …
I’ve done Blackberry Crumble Bars in the past, and early November I made something similar: a blackberry cobbler. What you need is: 1 stick of [unsalted] butter 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of self-rising flour 1 cup of [1%] milk 2 cups [fresh] blackberries To make the Blackberry Cobbler, what I did was: Preheat …
Very similar to the mango ice cream ingredients, and just as easy. Once again, you just pretty much combine the ingredients, and freeze! You need: 12 ounce whipped cream 1 14 oz condensed milk 1 evaporated milk 1 bread, grinded Almonds and Pistachios, to taste, grinded. For the almonds and pistachios, for the above quantities, …
Cheesecakes. I love them. As it isn’t apparent by the number of different kind of cheesecakes I have made in the last several months. To think I always thought cheesecakes were so difficult to make makes me laugh now. Anyhow, for Shazia’s bridal shower yesterday, I made a Turtle Cheesecake with an Oreo based crust. …
I love mangoes, but ironically not anything made out of mangoes. This mango ice cream, however, is something the rest of my family loves [and everyone else]. Weird side note: my brother Ayaz won’t eat mangoes but loves mango juice! You need: 1 can of Mango pulp 12 ounces of whipped cream, softened 1 [14 ounce] can …
A few days before leaving for hajj back in the beginning of October, it became a “use everything up in the kitchen that could potentially go bad” night. Which meant it was a seafood night. My mom made fried fish and I made my Bang Bang Shrimp. Oh and I made cheesecake. What better way …
