It's a platter of wholesome goodness of natural bounty that can be enjoyed and relished throughout the Year anytime anywhere. Basically Dates are stuffed with so many Seeds and Nuts with the platter looking every bit regal and delightful.
I had used Seeds, Nuts and Dry Fruits in this particular platter for a healthy and a nutritious change. Not only that I have roasted a majority of them for a great texture and flavour.
Any kind of Dates including the dry variety can be used for this lip-smacking dish.
The best part is that it can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for a long time without any problem whatsoever.
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.

Simple salad topped with sesame Dates
This is just a regular plain salad with a slight twist ... Sesame dates .I don't really like onions in this particular salad as I feel it tends to defeat the taste of the dates , buts it's optional.I never had Fetta cheese so I used what I had which was Gouda but it turned out to be a great and tasty substitute 👌

My First Platter
This platter is my first attempt. It all started with my spiritual mom giving me her round glass platter. I remember still telling her "thank you so much but when will I use this?" She said "Candy, you will use it don't worry, I'm blessing you with it".So one Saturday afternoon I made the above platter. I took a photo of it and I shared it with her. Since then, every other weekend you will find me making platters.I hope you enjoy making your platter as much as I do.

Wholewheat dinner rolls
I've really enjoyed my bread machine, and have experimented with quite a few recipes. I seldom actually bake in it though, preferring a more "free" shape. These dinner rolls turned out really well. I used one or two recipes from the net to get a guideline as to quantities of flour, but I have found that using at least one cup of white bread flour in either a wholewheat or a rye batch makes for a lighter bread. You can lightly brush with some melted butter just before you pop them into the oven. (Be careful to use light pressure so that they don't collapse.) I didn't do that this time.
Sundried tomato pistachio pesto penne
This is my version of pesto. I simply love a good pesto, and I could live on pasta for the rest of my life. This is my version where instead of pine nuts I used pistachios. You can even use sunflower seeds or any other cheaper seeds and will still be delicious. I added a bit of spice to it with some dried chili flakes! It’s mouthwatering!#pastapesto #sundriedtomatopesto
Fish Cakes
Dorado has a very distinct flavour. Quite fishy. I generally prefer it for fish cakes but really, any fish can be used. One can also roll the fish cake in cornflake crumbs before frying. It changes the fish cake quite a lot. Be careful not to overcook. They're not great if they're dry

Maca, medjool and chia smoothie
Suffering from anxiety and high blood pressure, all doctors wanted to do was medicate. I was a teacher stabbed in my classroom and literally started to hide away. I sought alternatives. Eating healthier, I happened upon Maca. It has helped me tremendously and I hope it can help others in future PS! Maca lowers blood pressure, can even help ladies struggling with anxiety and depression #justblendit

Delicious Summer Salad
I get so bored with the same old green salad, and I live in a hot country for at least 7 months of the year. So cold food is the name of the game for me. I tend to experiment quite a bit and this one turned out really well. Of course you can stretch it to go further by adding more leaves and tomatoes but I'd keep the quantity of the dressing the same.

Christmas Cake made in a pressure cooker
My mom use to make a very tasty and rich fruit cake but it required a lot of preparation and long baking time. The preparation includes cutting and covering the baking tin with multiple layers of paper and then four hours of careful baking to avoid overbaking and burning. Doing some research on the internet I found fruit cake receipes that were prepared with less effort and cooked using a pressure cooker. Although the cake still pressure cooks for one and a half hours, preparation is much less effort. You only require to grease the pan and the pressure cooker ensures a moist cake that’s unlikely to overcook or burn. I used a Instant Pot in this receipe but any standard pressure cooker will also work.

Pumpkin seeds | waste free snack
I bought an organic pumpkin today to cook for my baby, and it had so many nice and big seeds inside that I thought I should not waste them! So with a bit of a research I took some tips, changed a few things on the recipe and made my own pumpkin seeds snacks. You can eat it with a cocktail on the side, add it to your homemade pesto or eat it any way you like! It is yum!#pumkinseeds #wastefreesnack

Butternut in Maldives
Better than ever. Most best recipe without any other ingredient and best served straight from the pot, with no standing time.This creamy soup should be as a A la Carte menu item and not to be served from an Urn or BUFFET as the temperature changes the taste. I've noticed a huge difference. In those two techniques I've mentioned.
Macadamia Falafel
