Long time no see , I mean a recipe! 😀 this semolina halva is very easy dish to make in Turkey. I believe lots of Mediterranean countries have same but different version of it. We usually use pine nuts, but I used almond slices for it. If you don't have molasses it's okay too. My mom doesn't use it, she uses a packet of vanilla .

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
