I think you're thinking of Rfisa. I don't do it with lentils but you could add cooked ones on top - I also don't always use fenugreek. ALso this is almost only made after women give birth. :)

Thanks :thumbs: Sounds as if this dish may vary slightly from region to region. I don't think the one we had was made with tomatoes, but sounds yummy just the same !

I made 2 very tasty things from Martha Stewart's everyday food this weekend:

Light Italian Wedding Soup - I didn't have halal ground turkey, so I used lean ground beef. Also, no escarole at the grocery store, so I used spinach. Deliciuos, and AbuS approved.

Watermelon Strawberry Popsicle - can't find the recipe on the website, but here it is off the top of my head

2 lb seedless watermelon

1 pint strawberries, corred

3 T sugar

juice of one lime

Puree watermelon, and then drain through seeve. Disguard pulp.

Puree strawberries, then mix into watermelon

Add lime and sugar, stir

Pour into popsciple molds and freeze

I had a bit too much in the way of mix for my molds, so I mixed the extra with lemonade. Mmmm, watermelon strawberry lemonade, perfect for the humid weather we've been having.

Good food made this weekend (cross posted from my blog):

Chocolate tapioca pudding with bananas - left out the whipped cream and chocolate cookies. I actually cut up a whole banana into a bowl, and then only put a few spoonfuls for the pudding on top, so it was more banana then pudding. Tasty and natural, unlike the package add milk and stir puddings from the grocery store. I actually think the bananas + pudding would be very tasty with plain ol vanilla tapioca pudding as well.

Corn and Shrimp Chowder without Bacon - menos bacon obviously, so I skipped step 2, and at step 3, heated some olive oil in the pan to cook the scallions and potatos. I suppose I could have used turkey bacon, but with my goal of getting processed food out of my live, I figured turkey processed to heck and back to look like faux bacon would not fit the bill. Quite tasty, although I picked the shrimp out of my serving. I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but AbuS is, so I figured I'd save them all for him icon_smile.gif

Lemonade with Watermelon-Strawberry ice cubes. A modified Martha Stewart recipe. Originally suppose to be watermelon-strawberry popsicles, but since I didn't have any popsicle molds, I improvised and put the mix into ice cube trays. Then, throw 3 cubes in a glass, top with lemonade and wa'la

I know the food pictures aren't the greatest. One of these days, I'm going to get a nice wooden plate and bowl, and a clear glass to take food pics for the blog. But until then, enjoy my vintage Micky D's Disney glasses from my days as a McDonalds crew member.

That looks good Henna Rose ... what was in it?

I will share my secret with you :secret: As a self-respecting Italian girl, I used to literally slave all day making my Lasagna, even my sauce from scratch. Now...who has time? I use the Barilla no cook noodles and the basic recipe, but I have made a few modifications over the years. It's no fail, easy and my guests love it :thumbs:

I sauté my onion and a few garlic cloves in olive oil, then add 1 lb of very lean ground beef. Then I add this mixture (don't strain) to a crockpot along with my sauce and simmer for up to 5 hours. This really helps meld the flavors well. I use small curd cottage cheese instead of Ricotta (just like the texture better and it does not clump) you can still add the egg, herbs and Parmesan to the cottage cheese. I use lots of Mozzarella and Parmesan in my layers. Use a bit of extra sauce bc the noodles will expand and soak up some liquid as they bake. I have also added shredded zucchini, mushrooms, olives. Enjoy ~ This recipe is a keeper and great for a weekend dinner, and the leftovers are soooo yummy !!

LOL Thanks!

Nope sorry no boil noodles. Even hard to get the regular ones - plus they are expensive. I just made my own -easier for me then searching and searching.

You make your own noodles :wow: I think you must be part Italian !!
