Life Through My Eyes
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 …
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, …
On May 30th my cousin, Sabih, graduated from college and yesterday we celebrated! He loves basketball – and when I came across a similar idea a very long time ago, I had immediately thought at that time that I have to make this for Sabih! Fortunately, I remembered last week and decided to try it …
Apparently on a baking spree today. Not only did I make Chocolate Chip & Pecan Muffins [from scratch] for breakfast today, but then I also made homemade [from scratch] cookies with chocolate chips and M&Ms in them. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a) cookies b) chocolate and c) M&Ms. So a combination of …
Continuing my streak of incorporating nuts with my cheesecake, Friday I made a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake. This time, I experimented with a graham cracker base. Three cheesecakes, three different bases so far. Each one, very different but oh so good. Click here and here for my other cheesecake recipes so far. For today’s …
So last night, I wanted chocolate chip cookies. I was tired, however, and after starting to mix the ingredients together, I just didn’t want to have to sit there and form each individual cookie, and then bake them in batches and whatnot. Epitome of laziness, I know. The compromise? I decided to just turn the …
Slowly, but surely, I’m updating with recipes for things I’ve posted about in the past. Today is all about Homemade Pizza [click here to see my recipe for homemade pizza dough from scratch]. I’ve yet to experiment with making my own marinara sauce at home, mainly because the store-bought one I use? I love the …
Bang Bang Shrimp. Need I say more? I LOVE the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer at Bonefish Grill. Actually, it’s pretty much the only thing I get when I go there… the appetizer portion is a great entree size for me! I’ve been wanting to make this at home for a while now, and this afternoon …
These Spinach and Cheese Swirls are a great and quick, appetizer or snack! You will need: 1 sheet of [Pepperidge Farm] Puff Pastry 1 egg 1 tablespoon of water 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and …
This is probably one of my favorite things to make. It’s also what I intended to make on the day I posted about my Roasted Chicken instead [which was equally delicious]. I slow cook it in a pot over extremely low heat over a period of three to four hours… and it’s scrumptious. So tender, …
