Roselle Mint Juice
so its well known as hibiscus juice, but for some reason i like the Italian name more, its more dramatic and represents the color and taste of this juice. i added a twist as most you know i'm addicted to lemon and mint so i was like why NOT ? yes lemon and mint worked fine with my Roselle too. add lots of ice and enjoy the freshness

Lemon Tart
its took me a while to start making my tart crust perfectly from the first time, i remember i used get pissed off and just add an egg to hold everything up but that for sure will lead to not so crunchy crust, so the key was KEEP PRACTICING Lubna you will get there lol. this recipe was adopted from one of the food blogs i follow then i had to change a little in it,so its between a tart crust and a shortbread, one major thing you have to put in mind while making a pie or a tart, use cold ingredients, if its too sticky DO NOT add…

Granola
GRANOLA, i think the recipes to make a perfect Granola are endless, i like mine crispy, some like it chewy, also the ingredients are completely different between recipes. for some reason its always related to breakfast, i think it should be eaten as a good healthy breakfast lol i just have it as a dinner, its the perfect meal for me, i layer it with yogurt, fresh and dried fruits or whatever i have at home by then, some honey and i sleep with a happy tummy!

apricot hazelnut tart
i have never though mixing hazelnut with apricot will turn out this good till i read an article ( link ) about how apricots has a nutty flavor, so i decided to try this tart recipe from Bake from Scratch, the result was really good, one thing i had to change, used less apricots and since i'm not a big fan of ice-cream so i didnt serve my tart with i,t just cooled with my evening coffee. as any tart recipe we start with processing dry ingredients but since there is hazelnut in this recipe , we start with processing it with sugar till it becomes smooth then the rest…

Basil Garlic Focaccia
lately i started using a starter for this recipe coz i noticed the result is way much better, one of the things i noticed is dough rises faster and better, it becomes real fluffy and full of air. even though focaccia is one of the easiest simplest breads out there to make yet for me i think it needs kneading skills, i do use my stand mixer with the kneading hook but still i knead it by hand for like 5 minutes to allow the gluten to develop, and like any other type of breads the more you knead the better this dough has 3 resting periods, one of them…
