4) In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they develop stiff peaks.

5) Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until everything is combined well, fold in the egg whites and blueberry mixture and mix everything in gently in over to prevent the egg whites from deflating.

Back to School

Back to school is a sign of summer ending and the blessing of sending your trouble makers back to school . Where you can sit for a 10minutes and not hearing a single scream of Mommy  I help  or Mommy can you make me something to eat.But you  start to panic because you where too busy celebrating  that you forget to go the  infamous  back to school shopping where you spend your hared earn money on  brand names clothes shoes and oh yeah the list of items for your classes. In the back of your head you are worried about how their first day well be  or well they get bullied lose their  backpack  but before we get ahead of yourself calm down and  start withe school shopping list. My recommendation would be make a list of the things your children need get organize and plan a head. The best time to go shopping is early in the morning when the malls or stores are not really busy.If you have older children and they like brand names than go to the malls and most of the stores are having some kind of a sale or deal for the back to school shopping but if you have younger children than they don't care about brand names so you can take them to a places like Waltmart or The Children Places.  I have learned that the best place to shop for back to school supplies are places like the dollar store Walmart and Staples.Don't forget to the children  involve in this process let them pick their own school supplies and their bags etc. Children grow up so fast that you will not get these moment so enjoy and have fun and don't forget  it is going to be a long year.

Recipe Sambusa (Samosa)



Sambusa are a pastry that is filled with flavors enjoyed across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. Sambusa are served as appetizers and snacks at home and at celebrations. Sambusa are extra special during Ramadan. I don't know why but i love it.

  • Ingredient
  • 1 (14 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground Beef
  • 1 leek, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  • 1 quart oil for frying 

  • Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, leek and garlic, and cook, stirring until the onions are transparent. Add ground Beef, and cook until about halfway done. Season with cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper. Mix well, and continue cooking until Beef has browned.
  2. In a small dish or cup, mix together the flour and water to make a thin paste. Using one wrapper at a time, fold into the shape of a cone. Fill the cone with the meat mixture, close the top, and seal with the paste. Repeat until wraps or filling are used up.
  3. Heat the oil to 365 degrees F (170 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep heavy pot. There should be enough oil to submerge the wraps. Fry the Sambusa a few at a time until golden brown. Remove carefully to drain on paper towels.
