Blueberry Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Today I had a plan to bake a cake. With the over abundance of blueberries in my freezer.... smoothies were not my only plan, considering I usually only use my blender for hummus anymore. I tend to have all of the ingredients for homemade baking in my cupboards and icebox. This one was very simple. The only modification I made was the amount of berries used. Instead of 2 cups berries, I used 3. Here is the recipe should you want to indulge and make one for yourself. ENJOY! http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/blueberry-lemon-bundt-cake/

Kitchen Creations with Ori Part 1

Ok as some of you know I spend alot of time talking about recipes and certain meals etc. that I've made. Lately I've been getting all nerdy with my digi-cam. I hardly ever use it and taking pics of things I've created in my wonderful little kitchen. (I am in no way a photographer and although good at many things, taking pictures is not one of them).

Exhibit 1 : Baba Ghanoush (illustrated on the left) and 3 types of Hummus ( regular,black olive and red bell pepper on the right)
Exhibit 2 : This is Goat meat done into meatballs with Arabic spices and grilled. I served it with a salad made from cucumbers and labna.Pita bread on the side. Was completely awesome.



Exhibit 3 : This is Portabello Mushroom caps stuffed with seasoned ground chicken meat, a slice of tomato and covered in swiss cheese. No need for a side, this is a meal in its self.





Exhibit 4 : Lamb and rice stuffed grape leaves with a tomato gravy, labna with olive oil drizzled over the top and pita bread. The perfect combination. (the trick to the rice is cooking it using the water you blanch the grape leaves in)


Exhibit 5 : The perfect breakfast. Don't knock it until you try it. Blueberry pancakes with vanilla, and cinnamon. Topped with razzberry yogurt. Scrambled eggs with thyme (bcos I like thyme in my eggs). And well... the coffee did'nt make it in time for the photo shoot.

Enjoy, more to come in the future Insha'Allah!
