This dish is one of my favorite dishes of all times. After stuffed grape leaves that is. This is also my daughter’s favorite dish. She could eat this all week long without complaining, and then ask for it again after she had finished the entire stew by herself. You could use lactose free yogurt for this recipe. I make my own lactose free yogurt by using lactose free, but not dairy free milk. I have never tried it with dairy free yogurt, but I guess there is always something new to experiment with. Who knows, maybe one day I will.

These Burgers are so satisfying, and they taste so close to the real thing. Sure I could have made a bean burger that was special in its own way, but my goal here was to get it as close as I possibly can to a beef burger. It is super simple, delicious, and satisfying, and there is no binding flour involved.
This is one of those recipes that is served as an appetizer or a side dish at parties and almost every occasion. Lebanon has a very special entrée dishes or appetizers that are served together before any main meal. These dishes are known as Maza. They might differ in taste from restaurant to restaurant, or from house to house, but they are still mainly the same dishes. Some of these dishes are Tabouleh, Hummus, Sambousek, Kbeb, and many others. Whenever I was served these dishes before the main meal, I always thought there is no way I will be able to stuff the main meal into my belly. Besides, these dishes are so delicious on their own I am not sure I want to get to the main meal.
This recipe requires a lot of steps. It is not the quickest recipe. It is somewhat easy however, but it is absolutely worth it.

This Homemade Lasagna bursts with delicious flavors. It is creamy, it’s saucy, it’s delicious! No one ever said making lasagna was easy, but it sure is worth it. Every bite is worth it.
Chicken fajitas is a popular meal in our household. It is super quick, delicious, and full of nutrients. Even my picky eaters love this dish. Strips of chicken stir-fried with the traditional Mexican seasonings, green and red peppers, onions, and garlic. You can serve it over rice or in a tortilla with some salsa and avocado slices. Yum!
