For elegant yet simple Easter eggs, it’s a must to use gold or silver color and it’s the material that will make it look fancy.
I chose to dye the eggs with acrylic gold paint using my hand to make it look like patina effect.
Give it some time to dry before applying the paillette line. Fix it with glue for safe results, I used super glue.
The richness, neatness and somptuous elegance will mark you Easter!

A pleasure to the palate of coconut lovers. Originally comes from Balkan, it’s a traditional dessert in Croatia.
You find so many recipes, but this one is simply the best!
Ingredients:
Method:
Combine water, butter and sugar and bring to boil. Put it aside and add the powdered milk, vanilla and 1 cup of the coconut. Mix well until they become consistent. Shape into balls, rolling them on the remaining coconut flour. Meanwhile turn on your oven on 175°C. When the balls are ready, place them on parchment paper, and bake on middle shelf for only 10 minutes just to have a light golden color on the surface.
Eat one and you can never stop!

Cooked noodles are so much fun for a sensory play. Dye them in rainbow colors and let the amusement begin.
Boil the noodles as instructed on the box, better al dente so they are not sticky or coat them with a touch of oil. Divide them into bowls for each color. Mix with the food coloring, (I always recommend the wilton icing gel to save yourself from stains) and let them dry for 15-20 mns. Now they are ready for play!
I wanted this experience to be even more fun, I packed the rainbow noodles in a plastic container and head to Aspire park, one of the beautiful parks in Doha.
For the first 10 minutes, the rainbow remained intact. He was just contemplating the beautiful rainbow. So we decided to take it out of the container to start playing.
More squeezing and squashing were expected but my boy was a bit repelled since he is not used to touch food with his hands, my mistake for having OCD tendencies 🙂 so i decided to participate in the play to encourage him.
We shaped them into balls, his favourite toy!
Happy times with your kids, are unforgettable precious moments!

Who said traditional lebanese dishes can’t be presented in a modern creative way?
Mehche kousa or stuffed zucchini is one of the delicious traditional dishes that all lebanese families cook at least twice a month. Kids as adults love it. So succulent that people never bothered themselves to think of the esthetic presentation on the table .
Personally it’s one of my favourite dishes and i want to take it to the next level, by showing you how the presentation can be equivalent to the taste.
Isn’t mouth watering?
Usually kousa mehche is accompanied with wara’ arich or stuffed vine leaves to make the dish a killer.
Recipe:
First you need to empty out the zucchini pulp with a special corer. Carve it as much as you can but try not to break it 🙂
Mix together the meat, rice, salt and pepper to stuff the zucchini to 3/4 full. The same stuffing is used also for the vine leaves.
Put the zucchini in the pot vertically, open side to the top so the rice will not go in the sauce. Add the chopped tomatoes, the paste and salt to taste then cover with water.
Bring it to boil then reduce to medium low flame and cook for 45 mns approx.
My mom is the queen of kousa mehche, she taught me!
