Life Through My Eyes
Last night, for dinner/iftari, I made chicken fajitas. Â I baked it, instead of grilling it or cooking on the stove. It was juicy enough that no other sauce was needed and neither was any condiment necessary… but that’s your personal preference. How I made it last night: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. I cut …
Tonight for dinner, I made a “fiery” five pepper baked [whole] chicken. I took two whole chickens and [using a fork] poked holes in each of them in order to let the marinade seep through to the inside. Next, I marinated the chicken with: black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground mustard, a …
Tonight, for dinner, I made Chicken Gyros. Healthy, flavorful and delicious! I took boneless chicken cubes, and marinated it with: black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, yogurt and lemon juice. I cooked it over low heat for about an hour. In the last few minutes, I turn the heat …
Last Saturday, for an iftari party, I quickly assembled a plate of grilled eggplant and roasted cherry tomatoes. My dad had been asking me to make something with the eggplant and I had some fresh cherry tomatoes from my aunt’s backyard vegetable garden. They turned out great, and I especially loved the seasoned tomatoes straight out of …
It was just my parents and I home for dinner tonight, so shrimp was the perfect thing to work with. Today, I had extra large shrimp (26-30 count) at home. A couple hours ahead of time, I marinated my shrimp with: black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, rosemary leaves, basil leaves, and lemon juice. …
The original plan yesterday, was to make the whole chicken(s) like I normally do: I cook on the stove-top over low heat over a period of three to four hours [like the one pictured here]. I’m working on writing up how I make that one too [and hopefully the spinach-cheese swirls soon as well]! That …
For my parents’ anniversary tonight, I made Chicken Kebab over “Kabuli” Rice with white sauce because that’s what my mom requested (it’s one of her favorites when we go out to eat). I also made a Cheesecake with a Chocolate Center/Filling last night. I made the Chicken Kebab portion of the meal very similar to …
These homemade [and baked!] chicken tenders couldn’t be easier to make. I quickly made these for lunch today, and my family loved them. Basically what I did was: I took cube boneless chicken breasts and cut them into even, thin pieces [for uniformed cooking time]. I then marinated the chicken with: salt pepper garlic powder …
I love Hummus, and have been wanting to make my own for a long time now. For some reason, it seemed like a daunting task. In a bind, and having a hard time figuring out what to make, I made this as an appetizer for the Superbowl this year, alongside my Blackberry Crumble Bars. It …
Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits, alongside guavas. Strawberries and watermelon come a close second. Usually when I have mangoes on hand, I want to just eat it as in. It never lasts long enough for me to use it as a part of a meal. With raw mangoes in hand, I decided to …
