628. Iraqi Walnut Kleicha

The kleicha chronicles continue.
Following date kleicha and coconut kleicha, (and Traditional Iraqi Date Kleicha) we now also have the beloved walnut kleicha (كليجة الجوز).
Note that the creativity in shaping the kleicha is calculated: each shape represents a different filling.

627. Avocado Coconut Oil Tartine

I have been indulging in some youtube videos about clean eating of late, and came across this easy peasy good for you recipe.

626. Lebanese Garlic Grilled Chicken

Whipped garlic sauce is a favorite accompaniment to grilled meats in both Lebanon and the entire Arabian region.
This grilled chicken is done autrement, by marinating the chicken in the garlic sauce.

625. Salted Chocolate Truffles

I thought Lindt milk chocolate truffles were my absolute favorites until I tried these!

624. Vegan Instant Berry Ice Cream

I was first introduced to the concept of the five minute ice cream a couple of years ago, before I started this blog. It was basically: put frozen strawberry in the food processor with some sugar, and pour some cream as the machine is blitzing. So much fun to make.

623. Lemon Poppy Bars

I see a trend I did not expect: lemon cake, lemon poppyseed cake, lemon poppyseed cake balls, lemon tarte, lemon meringue pie, and now lemon bars! It seems, my friends, that lemon desserts seem to be something of a favorite.

622. Steak, Avocado, Feta Wrap

Sandwich wraps are great because they make you feel almost virtuous that you've avoided all the fluffy white bread of a baguette or bun.

621. Boules de Berlin

Boules de Berlin are basically jam-stuffed donuts.
They are a daily pastry of the German part of Europe, and make for anything from breakfast to a snack.

620. Egg Sandwich

Western boiled egg sandwiches are so nutritious and yet I feel we compromise their value with the invariable addition of mayonnaise. Iraqi boiled egg sandwiches don't use mayonnaise at all.

619. English Cake

I know it's hardly the season for fruit cakes, but the recipes just came to me regardless.
Last time I made the Dundee cake, I mentioned that it is very similar to English Cake, Fruit Cake, and Christmas Cake.
