Better than almost anything cake


This cake was made by Angie, our friend (she reminds me of Lindsay Lohan) at a potluck party. It was a hit. Try it. It is so easy and delicious!

Ingredients:
1 Box chocolate cake mix (Angie had used Dark chocolate, but she said anything is fine)
1 can condensed sweetened milk,
1 jar caramel topping,
1 bowl of cool whip, thawed to room temperature
1 bag chocolate chips

Make the cake according to the directions on the box, let it cool for about 10 mins. Poke holes all over the cake with a round ended wooden spoon. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the cake. After it is absorbed, pour the caramel. Let sit for about 30 mins till completely cooled. Refrigerate for 2 hours, and then spread the cool whip on top and sprinkle the chocolate chips. Refrigerate.

Cut into pieces and serve with hot coffee!



Quick Chicken


Leyla got me started with Turkish cooking. She is an excellent cook and her little boys are the cutest kids. I think this recipe is one of the first she taught me. This recipe is very fast and does not require many ingredients and is super easy.

Ingredients:
Chicken boneless breast cut in strips/chunks, as many as you want
oregano,
red chilli powder,
paprika,
salt
breadcrumbs for dipping the chicken

Arrange the chicken pieces on a tray, sprinkle all the ingredients except breadcrumbs on it. Turn the pieces, repeat. In a frying pan, put little oil. When the oil is hot enough, dip the chicken pieces in the breadcrumbs and shallow fry few pieces at a time for 3-4 mins on each side till fully cooked. (Use a splatter sheet if needed). Done!

See no marination required, instant chicken dish, can be used as an appetizer too. Eat with butter pilaf and salad.
