beetroot and goat cheese salad

Posted on March 7, 2014 | Leave a comment

Want to beat a hangover? Try this salad with beetroot.

Beetroots are known to be a hangover cure due to Beta cyanin, the pigment that gives its colour.

Beta cyanin is an antioxidant that speeds up detoxification in your liver, which enables your body to turn the alcohol into a less harmful substance that can be excreted quicker than normal.

This without forgetting that rocket is a detoxifying and pine seeds are an excellent source of energy. I would call this, a power salad!

Ingredients:

rocket leaves
goat cheese
beetroot
pine seeds

You can have it with either balsamic sauce or lemon mayo.

I wish you a life full of energy!

roast hamour fish

Posted on March 7, 2014 | Leave a comment

Cooking becomes different when you have a baby. He becomes the priority and your life is all about him. It’s friday (the weekend in Doha) the day we eat lunch as a family. I woke up thinking what to cook something healthy, fast and my boys like it. Plus it’s the lent and we don’t eat meat on fridays. So i decided to make roast fish with vegetables, lemon and walnut.

Ingredients:

A whole fish, i chose hamour about 1kg
3 medium potatoes
4 carrots
3 big garlic cloves
walnuts (as much as you like)
200g coriander
olive oil
salt
2 lemons

Chop the walnuts, garlic and coriander for the stuffing.

Make diagonal cuts on both sides to put inside from the stuffing to give it a richer aroma.

Stuff the fish and insert lemon slices.

Cut the carrots and potatoes and put them on the sides.

sprinkle the salt and olive oil and it’s ready to be baked for 25 mns.

Try it and give me your opinion 🙂

cheese mouse breakfast

Posted on March 7, 2014 | 2 comments

Nothing is worth the look on your baby’s face when he sees this breakfast! it’s friday meaning it’s the weekend in Qatar. No work, no nursery let’s have fun. It’s breakfast time.

It’s a smart way to let your baby eat his breakfast if you find difficulties. In the same time he learns the colors and shapes.

All you need is to buy a flower shape cutter and I am sure the rest is available at home.

Use the cutter to prepare the carrots for the flowers. You can cut tomatoes and cucumbers as well, choose the vegetables your baby like.

– Cucumber peels for the flower stem and the mouse tail.

– Lemon slice for the sun shape

– Cut a triangle out of your baby’s favourite cheese.

– Two slices of the cucumber for the mouse ears.

– Cut the end of the olive for the nose and two small pieces for the eyes.

Would you try it?

halloumi aubergine salad

Posted on March 6, 2014 | 2 comments

To begin, eggplants are not vegetables but fruits and to take it one step further, a berry to be exact.

I love aubergine especially when they are combined with halloumi. This salad is very simple and yummy.

Mix greens, grilled halloumi and grilled aubergine, 3 ingredients salad. Easy and fast to prepare it for a healthy dinner.

I like it with lemon and olive oil dressing. For a tastier lemon dressing add a pinch of brown sugar. It makes a difference.
