Life Through My Eyes
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 …
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 …
Yesterday afternoon, because it was Pi Day, I decided that I wanted to make a pie inspired meal. Because let’s face it… it’s a lot easier than making a Pi inspired meal. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make, and I had to work with ingredients I already had at home. All in all, both …
I am not usually a fan of biscuits, but for some reason I’ve been wanting to make my own for a while now. Probably because the rest of my family love biscuits as a side order or a snack. These homemade ones, that I made today, turned out great — soft, fluffy, moist, and absolutely …
This couldn’t be any easier to make! You need: Chocolate chips Peanuts All I did was: Melt a bag of chocolate chips on low heat. Do it on low heat, and constantly stir. In my opinion, this is the best way to not overheat the chocolate… and constantly stirring helps along the way. Remove from …
How did you do it? Over the last year, that is, by far, the number one question people have asked me. If not ask that question, then bluntly say something to the sorts of “my goodness, you’ve lost SO much weight!” Gee, really?! Thanks. I hadn’t noticed. Worst, by far: “how much weight did you …
I can honestly say that dinner usually turns out best when I’m under a time crunch and/or don’t plan on making anything that day. This night, it was like around 4 PM, and my mom asked “are you making something tonight?”. I guess I was now. This Bubble-up Pizza is what was the end result. …
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 …
