Since I am on a low fat diet (for now) hopefully in time be able to eat a little bit more than I am now, but in the meantime I am learning how to cook low fat and healthy, and I kinda like it. Its not even about the fat, there are so many things that are on the list of yes and no food items, once I am able to include tomatoes, peppers and a little cheese in my diet, I will be much more happier and creative! …

Speca Me Djath- Peppers with Feta and Eggs
Piperka as I grew up calling it or speca means peppers in Albanian, djath means cheese in this case feta cheese. One of the first foods that I remember eating when I was a little girl was peppers and feta. My Grandfathers favourite! Especially when the peppers came from our garden. We would always have watermelon at the table as well, watermelon and feta cheese goes so well together.
Today is April 12, my grandfather’s birthday he would have been 100, he was born in 1912. He passed away 13 years ago this coming May, I miss him dearly! This post is dedicated to my Grandfather Haxhi.

French Toast with Nutella
I love French toast, I mention in my other post that my mom would always make us the best French toast! She likes hers salty….I like mine sweet!
I grew up eating Nutella, and of course I would eat it with a spoon right out of the jar! I never thought of putting French toast and Nutella together until one day I was like why not? And more importantly why didn’t I think of this sooner!? I mean I always eat Nutella sandwiches with plain bread, and spread it in my palachinka aka crepes, so why not this?
I made the French toast in my Cast Iron pan, which made it even better! It was not soggy, it cooked evenly and quickly!

What you will need:

In the same pan melt about 1 tsp butter and add 1 tsp olive oil, spread evenly in pan.

Add the peppers and feta to one side of the omelette and fold over the other side.
Slide onto a serving plate.
Menemen -Turkish Style Eggs
Menemen is a popular egg and tomato dish in Turkish cuisine. It’s a little saucy and you will notice that some have a sauce on the bottom, mine does not, most times it’s runny, but in the picture below it is not. It is a family favourite, and we make it every weekend….
Potatoes with Eggs (Patate me Vez)
So this is a upgrade version of my moms potatoes with eggs, the only thing that differs between the two are her eggs are plain, I added the parsley and peppers. Both ways are equally delicious.
