Life Through My Eyes
For my brother Faraz’s birthday on Friday, I made individual cakes in the shape/form/appearance of a donut… because he loves donuts. I made his favorite kind: chocolate frosted with sprinkles. I left the sprinkles off of mine. You will need, of course, a [non-stick] donut pan. Use your favorite vanilla, yellow, or chocolate cake recipe …
For Faraz’s birthday dinner, tonight, I made this chicken taco twist. I saw this idea for a twisted bread sometime ago, I think on Pinterest, and changed it up to my liking. Cut them as small or large of a serving as you would like. What you need: ground chicken taco seasoning bell peppers, diced …
A quarter of a century old. That’s me today. Where has the time gone and why is it going by so fast?! Sheesh. Can it slow down just a bit? I feel like 2013 just started and it’s already more than half over. Back to the birthday. Did I post here about how I lost a year? …
So the day of Sabih’s graduation party? It also happened to be my cousin Naairah’s birthday! Thursday we head off to Virginia for her graduation ceremony that day followed by her graduation party on Saturday. For her, I made a confetti cake. I used the same homemade yellow cake base recipe as I did for …
Happy Birthday Faraz! We sure are getting to the age where I don’t even want to say the age anymore! For Faraz’s [my brother] birthday today, I narrowed down the dessert to something either to do with chocolate chip cookies or Oreos relatively quickly because those are his favorite [cookies]. Ultimately, Oreos won over simply …
A few days before Ayaz’s birthday, I came across an image of a cake that was decorated with smarties [the English version of M&Ms?] and chocolate covered biscuits. It immediately made me think of replicating the idea using M&Ms and kit-kats! With Ayaz’s birthday around the corner, I had a perfect excuse to try it out …
Tonight, we had an early birthday celebration for my brother Ayaz.

I love jokes… and am pretty easily amused most times. So I thought I’d share a joke today: How do you make gold soup? Give up? Put 14 carrots in it. Get it? Carrots, karats. Oh, forget it! 🙂 P.S. Happy Birthday Faraz! P.S. Don’t forget to leave me a comment below on your thoughts! …
So remember how in this post I mentioned that we ordered sponge-bob themed chocolate wrappers to use as favors for my cousin’s birthday party? So the whole time (from the time my mom suggested it to the time the chocolates arrived) I was picturing in my head that we would take the paper wrapper off of the …
My cousin, Daniyal, turns six in about two weeks. Last night, we had a family party for him. Here is a picture of the favors: it’s a spongebob themed chocolate wrapper. How cute is that? here’s what the back looks like: Here’s the banner my dad and I made using one of those ‘create your own …
