Make sure you’ve put it in the fridge a few hours before you need to use it, otherwise you won’t be able to cut it at all. In a bowl, beat egg and milk together. Get 2 shallow plates, add flour in one and in the other combine bread crumbs, salt, paprika, onion, oregano and garlic powder.  First, dredge the cheese stick into flour, then dip in egg, then coat in crumbs. Make sure it’s coated liberally on all sides. Then repeat the process. Each cheese stick should be coated twice with flour, egg and crumb mixture. Once done, set in the freezer for an hour.

Spicy Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Mexican Rice

I have only these words of warning for you: Lots of tomato puree. Lots of onion. Lots of spice. If you're not a fan of either of those, please go look at another milder, less tomatoey recipe.

Pizza Topped Bread.

I want a special breakfast on Sundays. No exceptions, every Sunday has to have a special breakfast. It's a weekend, you deserve a good meal and so do I. When you live in an area (like mine) which has absolutely horrible naan chanay, nihari, parathas and halwa puri (weep), you have to rely on your own cooking skills.

Meat Lasagna with Red & White Sauce.

I've always been irritated with the lasagna recipes I find online. They use 10,000 kinds of cheese that I either don't like or can't buy here in Pakistan. And even if they were available, why would I spend thousands of rupees on something that won't even last one night? Okay, I know you foodies are probably having a heart attack while reading this but come on. You HAVE to be practical when you're cooking at home. So, I decided to try the local stuff. I mean, why the hell not? Only so much could go wrong. But oh. My. GOD . This turned out so well. This recipe is amazing. Seriously, if you're a meat lover like me who likes her pasta drowning in sauce, HAVE THIS. It's... just try it. I promise you, you'll love it.
