Makeshift Lebanese Cheese Pie

Alrighty! Soooo way, way back in March I was sent away to Ottawa for training. It was a 5 day trip (with one day missed courtesy of Newfoundland and it's pea soup fog that week), with training during the day and group outings during the night. We toured Parliament, the War Museum, and even hopped over to Quebec to visit the Sugar Shack (*drool*)!!

All-in-all, it was a great trip! I even got to visit with one of my close friend's Aunt's, who not only picked me up on arrival, but dropped me off at the airport too! And if that wasn't enough, on my last day there, she brought me to a Lebanese bakery to introduce me to my first Cheese Pie!!!

Now, if you've never had Cheese pie, it's DE-LICIOUS!! It's basically bread and cheese warmed in an oven - so in other words, heaven! The only problem I have with Cheese Pie, is the lack of it here in Newfoundland. And despite my friend's aunt bringing me cheese pie on her last 2 trips home (♥♥ God love ya ♥♥), I wanted more!! Sooo, like any good husband would, Nick made it happen by concocting this makeshift version. I was very doubtful at first, but when I tried it, I was impressed - not exact, but so close! So if you are dying for a bit of Cheese Pie, or you're a fan of cheesy bread concoctions, you should give this a try!

Chicken Tikka Masala - Check!

Scarfing down some Chicken Tikka Masala!

Yesterday you saw me check Tom Yum off my Food List Challenge - today, Chicken Tikka Masala! Now don't get too excited, I won't be able to keep this pace all summer, but at this rate I could easily clear the list no problem.

Basmati Rice, Chicken Tikka Masala, Pappadums & Naan

As opposed to yesterday, where I added water and microwaved, I actually cooked the dish in question today. It was a store bought paste, so I don't take all the credit but it still counts towards my checks!
