We are all stuck at home for the same reason, my first 2 weeks and a half were just fine, actually I enjoyed being home with the kids doing all the delayed stuff I have been delaying for ages, but when it started to be a FORCED condition of staying at home, the anxiety started to get over me, its spring outside yet we need to stuck inside!!! UNFAIR but it is a MUST ! My daughter ( which I call a strawberry little mouse ) kept asking for a strawberry cake, so today I decided to get my self together and bake the cake for her and most…

dates and carrots cake
believe it or not, the only way to get my son to eat carrots is by making carrot cake or muffins, like seriously he hates carrots and every time he asks me what cake is this i answer ( yumy dark shade cake ) lol , does that count as a lie ? i dont know if that makes me a bad MOM but come one he eats a whole piece everyday, actually he is ready to have more if i allow him, so being a GOOD MOM i decided to make that cake extra healthy and add another ingredient he doesn't like to eat which is dates !!, i…

Orange Jam
i grew up in a house full of home made jams, my mother used to make jams of each season fruit, and to be honest i never liked Orange jam, i used to find it too bitter, lately i started to really enjoy it, only when i realized that bitterness can be controlled to adjust anyone's taste by the amount of orange peels you add to the jam. my recipe requires mixing 2 types of oranges which will lead to a very balanced taste, its not too sweet nor bitter plus it has a citrusy flavor. i took a picture the 2 types of oranges i used just to make…

2018 favorites
When 2018 started I was closing my company Mezian because of few reasons and I had no idea what am I going to do next, I have decided its about time to start blogging, I was not sure how will this work but I believed I will find the way after I start, so I just started ( thanks GooGle for answering all my Qs ) and I must say it is NOT as easy and simple as it looks like, there is a lot of work behind each post, recipe creating/testing/styling/ photographing and even after writing there is post editing, not to mention all the marketing work ( which…

Apple Cinnamon Cake
Right when the weather starts to cool down, cinnamon jumps into my head and of course since its autumn i have to use Apples, i just cant resist those shiny green apples at the market, i have to buy them and bake with them i just HAVE to !. this is an ideal cake for chill days, goes perfectly with a cup of warm coffee, moist and rich with cinnamon, the perfect combination you need to enjoy the flavor of a strong coffee. this cake has a very thick batter not like other cakes, that will turn into super moist later after it bakes, i think because of…
