GRANNIE COOKIES
Today, my 3 year old daughter, Dide, and her grandmother (Grannie) baked some cookies. She sat on the the kitchen counter and made the dough with her grandmother and actually she made the cookies (took the dough by spoon and put it in the oven tray) all by herself. She waited infront of the oven until they are cooked and ate 3 of them before she took her nap. Than she woke up and asked where the cookies were!! Well here is how to do the "Grannie Cookies" Ingredients:
Wallnuts (As much as you like)
1 small water glass of eggs
1,5 small water glass of sugar
1 small water glass of yoghurt
1,5 small water glass of olive oil
2,5 small water glass of flour
Grated Lemmon or orange zest
1 pack of Vanilla
1 pack of Baking powder
Basicly you will mix all these one by one. Your mixture should be softer than a cake mixture. And you should use a pre-heated oven. If you don't use a pre-heated oven, than your cookies will fall apart. You can use your creativity and add chocolate chips, nuts etc. to the mixture. Or remove the lemmon and orange zest as you please. Do it as you like, I am sure you'll find the best to fit you.

RAMADAN PIDE
Muslim communities would know that Ramadan is coming in one week and will go for a month. As it is a tradition in Ramadan to eat Ramadan Pide at the end of daily fasting; I wanted to give a recepie to cook a Ramadan Pide at home:
What you need to cook Ramadan Pide is:
500 gr of Flour
20 gr of Ferment
Half water glass of milk
1 table spoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
3 table spoon of flower oil
Put the the flour in a mixing bowl, open the middle part and put the ferment and add the milk in the middle. Than put the salt and the sugar in the flour part. After the ferment has melted add the milk and make it a dough. And let it rest for a while. Than cut the dough into small pieces. and make it in a shape with a rolling pin. If you'd like, you may add meat, cheese, eggs or any other ingredients you please on top and put it in a oven tray and cook it in a pre-heated oven (220 degrees celcius) until it is done. With a help of a brush, after taking it out of the oven, spread some oil on the sides of the Ramadan Pide.
Afiyet Olsun..
Tips on Ramadan: If you know someone fasting during Ramadan, if you say "Allah kabul etsin", this means "May god accept your fasting and wishes" this will make them feel alot better and stronger. In the first days of Ramadan, becuase people are fasting from sun up to sundown, not eating and drinking anything; they may be a bit angry, aggressive, feeling bad etc. Please understand their situation and have mercy on your words towards them. Let them adjust to the situation of not eating and drinking during the day.

VEGGIE SALAD
After giving out so many recepies with so many wonderful calories, I wanted to act like a very responsible person (in fact I really am) and give you a diet recepie with fresh goodies...
You will need:
1 bowl of broccoli
1 bowl of cauliflower (Cleaned and picked over)
5 pieces of fresh beans
1 carrot
1 red bell pepper
A bit of basil
Salt
Olive Oil
Lemmon Juice
Cut broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and fresh beans into big pieces. Boil some water and put the carrots first than add the beans and cauliflower and broccoli very last. Boil them for 2-3 minutes and if you want the veggies to look like alive with wonderful colours; put them into iced water. And drain them after they are really cold. Put the veggies in a mixture bowl and add the basil, salt, olive oil and lemmon juice and mix well.
That's it. No suprises. That is all.. An example of healthy nutrition :))
Not fun ha?
