Life Through My Eyes
I wasn’t planning on making anything for the Super Bowl party my brother’s were having last night… but the night before I just couldn’t help myself and started brainstorming ideas. Since my brother’s were ordering food, I narrowed it downto desserts and finally decided to make a cake. It had to be a football-related cake …
This year, for Ayaz’s birthday I made a Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I then decorated the top with rolo candies and drizzled caramel on top. Last year? I made the M&M and Kit-Kats cake.

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 …
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 …

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. …
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 …
This past Friday, I made a Nutella Cheesecake for a potluck on Saturday night. With a very busy weekend, I needed something I could make in advance and a cheesecake was perfect for that. The whole making a day in advance and letting it cool [which I NEVER do] finally was done this time around… …
Usually when I make homemade cookies from scratch, I simply make chocolate chip cookies because those are the only kinds my brothers will eat. This afternoon, I wanted something sweet but had no milk chocolate chips [my favorite kind], but had some leftover combination of peanut butter and milk chocolate morsels that would do. I …
Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies [in any way or form]? I’ve done chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip cookie pie, chocolate chip cookie bars, chocolate chip cookie cups one way, and then a second way and let’s not forget the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake! Did you figure out I LOVE chocolate yet?! … and …
