If you're looking for ways to get more protein in your diet, try this enchilada recipe! It includes two excellent protein sources ~ black beans and whole wheat pearl couscous. The filling includes a spicy tomato sauce, and the enchiladas are topped with  one of my favorite cheeses, Fontina ~ an Italian semi-firm cow's milk cheese that melts nicely and has a nutty and slightly sweet taste. (By the way, Fontina is  amazing on grilled cheese sandwiches!)  Sauce Ingredients: 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 small red onion, finely chopped 1 yellow pepper, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp smoked paprica Salt and pepper taste 15 ounces can fire roasted tomatoes (or use fresh tomatoes ;o) 2 Tbsp hot sauce Other Ingredients: 6-8" whole wheat tortillas  1 cup dry whole wheat pearl couscous 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (or 15 ounces can, drained and rinsed 8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

My foodie friend Stacey over at  Southern Bite  shared a recipe for  Fajita Chicken Casserole  back in February, and I like many people pinned it and forgot about it. I was looking for something different to cook for Tuesday's Casserole Day last week, and I remembered his casserole. I quickly got word out that this one was on the menu! It smells heavenly as it cooks and tastes delicious! Click on the link above for his recipe and gorgeous photographs of this yummy casserole! Also, check out my recipe for homemade fajita seasoning mix below! It is super simple and might save you a dollar or two! Mine is not as pretty as his,  but boy howdy is it good!!! I admit that I do not follow direction well, but I do play well with others! LOL I misread the recipe and used regular rice that I had cooked, so I had to change things up.  Follow his direction, and you will be fine!

I am not a big fan of deep dish Pizzas I am   more of a thin crust girl. But  I wanted to give one a try and see how my boys liked them.  I checked out this recipe from an episode of American Test Kitchen, where the chef  makes the dough more richer using butter . I have to say the crust was quite crumbly and very rich in taste but I enjoyed it.  For the filling ,... well I went a little lazy and used a jar of good quality pasta sauce , and  Al khaleej meatballs ( I like their meat balls, love adding both their beef and chicken meatballs). But you can still used home made tomato sauce and use home made meatballs. Recipe : Deep Dish Pizza 500g Basic Pizza dough . 50g softened butter 1/3 cup   pasta tomato sauce ( I used San Remo's  , you can buy or make your own from here ) about 14-15  chicken or beef  meat balls , thawed ( I used AL Khaleej brand), you can even make your own using this recipe olive oil to grease the pan and also to ...

Last year I was introduced to this lovely blogger Huma who hosts an event each Ramadhan called Ramadhan -an event to share . Here a few muslims bloggers from all corners of the globe share experiances and stories about the month of Ramadhan and of course share recipes  that they love to make during the fasting month. Last year I contributed Sago bondibai a sweet sago pudding which is made during the Eid celebrations in my home. For this year's  event seems even bigger as she has got so many new bloggers and I am honoured to be a guestpost for her for the second time around.  My recipe for this year is  kiruboakibaa , a sweet coconut milk cake.Yes I have attempted and succeeded in making this delicious local snack before . I finally found a recipe from an aunt ( maternal side this time) who gave me an easier recipe , one which takes less time and energy to make.  . But this time you have to head to Huma's space at Ghezaeshiriin  to check out the recipe. Cl...

                                         This something my mom loves making when she gets fresh breadfruit.  I recently gave this a try and found it went pretty well with flat bread. The curry tastes better when made ahead , so what was lunch turned into a delicious leftover for dinner.Most curries are like that they tastes better . For us, a whole breadfruit is too much , so I like to cut it into quarters and then freeze them. It does loose a bit of its tastes but still goes well with curries. I think the only thing  if you are not a local, that you cant get hold of would be rihaakuru , which gives it a distinctive taste. My father discovered this really great rihaakuru seller in the market , their rihaakuru is really good quality and although quite pricey it stays well for months. Look for this labeling , usually a lady vendor situated in the closed market area in front ...
