Semolina pudding (Halawet El Smeed)
One of my childhood recipes, a Palestinian one that I grew up eating happily in the cold winter. This is not your typical dessert that is loaded with sugar and cream. Only few ingredients, semolina, sugar, and butter. It’s best eaten, when served warn with a drizzle of hot ghee and toasted nuts on top. It’s A must try!
Lebanese Semolina pudding (Layali Lebnan)
This is also a family favorite recipe, well the family I grew up with , not my small family, the ones that don’t appreciate cream 😀 . This recipe is also made with semolina (The base of most levant desserts) mixed with milk to make a solid base. Then topped with fresh cream, and crushed pistachio. And finished with a heavy sugar syrup that is scented with rose water or orange blossom water, and served cold.
Refreshing Kiwi Green Smoothie
One of the easiest smoothies I made. Kiwi fruit is the star ingredient here, its very refreshing as the name indicates and very nutritious as well. You must add it to your healthy meals and snacks for the new year’s diet.
