Backdated bento #234

I made this bento a while ago. It’s stuffed with goodies – homemade bread, mouhammara, a cheese and spinach roll and bell peppers in the big box, and homemade Tabbouleh in the small box.

Front: Spanish potato tortilla, pickled beans and onions, cherry tomato.
Back: Spinach and feta “börek” roll, roasted [...]

Big box: baked potato wedges, broccoli, shredded carrot salad, celery, couscous-feta-spinach patties, [...]

Pide on a Thursday!

To all my readers from the USA, happy Thanksgiving! We don’t celebrate it here, but my thoughts are with you. Mmm… a holiday dedicated to having delicious food… what’s not to love?
From my side, I’ll be sharing some baking love:
I love Turkish flatbread (Pide) and I couldn’t resist making it myself. I’ve been wanting to [...]
