I’m back with those weird funny cravings :) .. Today’s snack in steps:
1. Crush 1 nori sheet in a bowl
2. Pop some popcorn and mix it with the nori sheets



A while back I was invited to taste the most amazing and refreshing flavor ever at Pick Yo. It was candied orange peel and It’s the best frozen yogurt flavor i’ve ever tried!
You can have it as topping or blended with the yogurt. My favorite is blended with the yogurt, then added on top as topping. Drizzle a tiny bit of hazelnut chocolate syrup and top it with chocolate flakes. Just simply ahhhmazing! The combination reminds me of macintosh’s quality street and takes me back to childhood :) but it’s also great by itself as well with no toppings at all.
If you are a fan of candied orange, then you’ll LOVE IT like I did.
The flavor can be found at both stores now (Kefan and Kuwait city) and is also available for delivery: #22913333
While you’re at it, try out their pistachio flavor too :)
Enjoy!

Making my own meals everyday is becoming a habit :)
I’m having weird cravings recently for everything vegetarian. Couple of days ago I made sweet potato microwave chips and dipped them in labna. Then popcorn with hummus at night!
Today’s dinner will be popcorn with this delicious dip.

Put everything in your food processor and mix away! :) that’s it!
حطوا كل شي بمحضرة الطعام و خلطوا :)

You can eat it with chips, nachos or dip couple of popcorns like me :)
Bon appetit!

This is the easiest lemon preserve ever. All you need is a sterile jar, coarse salt, a knife and lemons.
Start with cleaning the lemons by brushing them then cutting the lemons the same way I did and sprinkling some salt inside the cuts
أول شي تغسلون الليمون عدل و تفرشونه بفرشة بعدين تقصون الليمونة مثل الصورة و ترشون ملح داخل الليمون
Then try to fit as much lemons as you can in the jar, the cut side facing down or tilted downwards. Press the lemons to fit more lemons in the jar. They will reduce in size with time.
و بعدين صفوا الليمون داخل القرشة و يكون الطرف المقصوص مواجه تحت عشان ينزل العصير. حاولوا تضغطون الليمون و تحطون ليمون بالقرشة كثر ما تقدرون لان حجمهم راح يصغر مع الوقت
Sprinkle some salt on top of the jar when you’re done and close it. Leave it be for 3-5 days and then see if the juices from the lemons have covered the lemons. If not, add lemon juice till it covers the lemons.
و لمى تصفون كل الليمون و تخلصون رشوا ملح فوق اخر شي و سكروا القرشة و خلوها لمدة ٣-٥ ايام. بعدين شوفوا اذا العصير اللي نزل من الليمون مغطي الليمون خلوه. و اذا مو مغطي الليمون، زيدوه عصير.
There’s another way of doing this. You can mix garlic and chili flakes with the salt and use it like I mentioned above.
تقدرون بعد تضيفون ثوم و فلفل على الملح و تستخدمونه نفس الطريقة اللي كتبتها.
Leave the jars for 3-4 weeks then consume them the way you like. You can add them to sandwiches, use as condiment with rice, cook with them. Their uses are endless :)
خلوه لمدة ٣-٤ اسابيع يستوي بروحه و بعدين تقدرون تستخدمونه بالطريقة اللي تبونها. بالساندويتشات، مع العيش، بالطبخ. كل شي :)
تاكدوا ان القرشة نظيفة عدل قبل لا تبدون. و بالعافية
I’ll be updating you with pictures when they’re ready.
Bon appetit!

I had 2 oranges for breakfast yesterday and instead of eating them, I took my zester/peeler and stripped the two oranges from their skin and made this delicious treat.
امس ريوقي كان برتقالتين. و بدال لا اكلهم طلعت مبشارتي و قشرت البرتقال كله و سويت منه هالحلو :)
الصراحة طعمة واايد حلو بس خذا مني وقت وايد حول ٨ ساعات! بما اني عرفت الطريقة ماله داعي اعيدها. واايد اسرع اذا شريتهم زاهبين من غالير اللي بمجمع الافنيوز. بس طعم الفرش احلى
It tastes great but it’s time consuming. It took me 8 hours to finish! Now that I know that I can in fact make candied orange peel, I’ll get mine from galler – the avenues mall. Takes less time ;p but i gotta admit. Fresh candied peel tastes way better :)
Here’s how you do it:
That’s it! Make sure you allow enough time for them to dry after each step.
Don’t throw away the syrup. It tastes soo gooooood. You can drizzle it over cakes :)
الطريقة:
و بالعافية :) تاكدوا ان تعطون كل نقطة وقت كافي عشان يجف القشر بين مرحلة و مرحلة
لا تقطون القطر طعمه عجيب! تقدرون تصبونه فوق اي كيكة اسفنجية :)
Bon appetit!
