Albanian and Turkish Cuisine with Donika
Assalamu alaikum everyone! It has been a while since I last posted. I haven’t been active on here or on social media, for that I do apologize. I cannot promise I will be on much, but I will try to come on when I can. I promised I would share this baklava with you so I finally got around to making it again and taking photos for you. Hope you enjoy this post, let me know in the comments below! …
It has been a while since I posted last… I have been super busy plus my laptop broke and I am trying so hard to figure out how to use my new one. Took me over an hour to figure out how to upload photos! I finally got it, so yay! My house is upside down at the moment; I was hoping to get everything done before Ramadan started but doesn’t look like that is gonna happen. …
Are you in love with anything pumpkin spice like me? Pumpkin has always been a favourite of mine. Recently I have been addicted to pumpkin spice lattes and coffee and creams. So I thought hey why not in marshmallows!
It would make my hot cocoa and lattes even better and I was right! Honestly these marshmallows tastes just like a pumpkin spice latte, so flavourful and delicious!

Un kurabiye translates to flour cookies in Turkish. They are much like a butter or shortbread cookie: crumbly, a bit dry and not too sweet. It’s the perfect tea time cookie!

Looking for a easy no bake dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth? I got the perfect recipe for you! Smells amazing and tastes great too! …
If you were a kid from Canada in the 80’s you most likely had a wagon wheel stuffed in a paper bag or your lunch box! Since then I have seen and tried different brands but the cookie itself is lacking…is that the word? Mostly all you get is a crumbly cookie, a thin layer of cheap tasting chocolate and a disappointing amount of marshmallow! I assure you though that is not how I remember them! …
Fruit Loop no-bake cheesecake, colourful and fun! My daughter Dina came up with this creation, it is light, fluffy and yummy! If you grew up with Fruit Loops or even if you are not a fan, I think you will still love this cheesecake! …
Whenever I see prune plums I think of my grandmother, she loves them, so when I saw these plums at the market I got excited and filled a bag with them! Prune plums or otherwise known as Italian plums are small and egg-shaped and they are tart, not sweet, probably why my grandmother loves them so much! …
