Life Through My Eyes
Since several people have asked me what is for iftari around here, I thought I would share some of my family favorites… starting with the recipe for [Mashed] Potato Fritters that I made [and shared] yesterday. I’ll be honest and say that Ami makes most of the “typical” iftari food… while I make more of the …
Tonight, I made garlic knots. The semi-homemade way. I say that because instead of making my own pizza dough first, what I used instead was those refrigerated biscuits.

Monday night, I made some mini chicken “tacos” using wonton wrappers. This is how I made it: I took ground chicken and seasoned it with black pepper, paprika, garlic powder and paprika.

This was a quick snack I put together this past Friday night… another spin on pizzas. I took [rectangular] pizza dough [store bought or homemade] and topped it with marinara sauce. On top of that I added: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregana, shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese. Roll it into a log [as …
For Ayaz’s birthday, yesterday, I made my bubble-up pizza, a chocolate cake [with choclate frosting] with rolo candies and drizzled with caramel… and these breadsticks!

Life has been hectic, to say the least, lately. Anyhow, the night before a family party at our house at the end of August [a week and some change ago], I experimented with a semi-homemade seasoned chips at home. You know, because I didn’t have enough on my plate already. It’s semi-homemade because I took store-bought …
