1326. Simple Marble Cake

This is a nostalgic cake which most of our mothers made in our childhood. My mom would make marble cake in those big, rectangular, deep tefal baking pans that would be enough to feed an army, and indeed we ate it up like an army would, too.

1325. Green Bean Rice

Seasonal local produce at a reasonable price is something I cannot pass up in the grocery store. The other day I got I whole giant bunch of green beans I had to quickly make plans for, and this rice dish was one of the outcomes.

1324. Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Finding a recipe for buttercream frosting which you can depend on every time may be quite the challenge. This Vanilla Buttercream Frosting is versatile in terms that you can let it remain vanilla, or flavor with other essences (almond) or citrus zest (lemon, orange).

1323. Tashreeb-Flavored Roast Chicken

Anyone who has tried Iraqi chicken tashreeb has loved it. While I count myself as one of them, I do have a great dislike for the searing process... the odors from the combination of cooking onions and chicken grease make it a seldom affair reserved for special guests or intense cravings, unfortunately.

1322. Nutella Cookie Cups

Ten minutes plus cooling time is all that separates intention from realization in this case. A soft chocolate chunk cookie base encompasses a generous dollop of nutella in the form of a cookie-cupcake.

Not only does this classic banana nutella crepe combine unbeatable flavor combinations, but the entire crepe batter is made in a blender. Literally, put all ingredients in the machine and bliltz.

1319. Dynamite Shrimp

I don't know about you, but dynamite shrimp, california rolls, and mongolian beef are permanent orders whenever to eat Asian out. With all that stir-frying, we tend to prefer ordering to cooking. However, once you discover just how simple recreating some of this dishes at home, you just might change your mind.

1318. Mont Blanc Roulade

Mont Blanc is a dessert named after the famous summit on the alp mountains in the Swiss-French-Italian region of Europe. It is mainly three ingredients: meringue, chestnut paste, and whipped cream. Multiple interpretations of the dessert exist, in the forms of ice cream, trifles, etc. This version presents the Mont Blanc as a meringue swiss roll cake, while remaining true to the core ingredients.

1317. Cheese Fries

Admittedly not the healthiest thing out there, these home made cheese fries still beat any cinematic cheese nachos out there in terms of chemicals and preservatives. All you need are two clean ingredients: cheddar cheese and cream.

1316. Fries Spice

Not a conventional recipe, nor an expected one, this is a spice blend to sprinkle over just-fried potato fries. It might seem a bit strange at first bite, but will quickly develop into an addictive addition to your fries.

1315. Karak Cake (Express)

Karak is a popular tea in the Arabian Gulf. Basically, it is tea with milk, and hints of a few spices such as saffron, cardamom, and ginger. This is a cake based off that drink's flavor profile, but it is also an express karak cake.
