  Asalam walaikum ladies well I did it I made the chicken with the zatar and I also made the carot and zatar salad here are a few pics of what it looked like please forgive the quality of the pics but I had to  use my cell phone to take the pictures since I don't have a digital anymore.

   

  

  Ok so here is the chicken I will admitt I tweeked it a bit because I didn't cut it up into pieces I just soaked it in olive oil for about an hour and then added the zatar, salt and pepper all over it and rubbed it in I sat it in a covered bowl over night in the fridge and I baked it as directed ...OMG it was really really good the flavor was delish, and it was so easy to prepare, I'm definitely giving this a thumbs up,,,,,Thanks for the instructions dear

   

  

  Ok so here is the salad I followed the directions acordingly, I baked the carrots for 26 minutes and that was perfect for my oven the carots were delish even before mixing all of the other ingredients together, now the only difference is that I used the feta cheese which comes with garlic and herbs mixed in also I used half cilantro (cause I love cilantro) and half Italian parsley (cause husband loves Italian parsley) the flavor was amazing I suggest everyone try this I'm serious this was a great dish another simple easy recipe and what is best the children all ate it no one turned it away they loved it and when I baked the carrots I couldn't keep them away from the carrots as I was cooling them so I'm thinking that the baked carrots in olive oil, salt and pepper would make a perfect after school snack as well

   

  
  

  this pic is a bit blurry but It is basically basmatti rice with fideo noodles and corn, what I did was sautee a bit of fideo noodles in oil till they are light brown in color (not too dark) (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) and add 2 cups of riceand sautee it for about 2 more minutes then I add a can of corn including the water (1 can for every 2 cups of rice) then add 3 cups of water and salt to taste, stir it all together well and cook it as you would any other rice, this has a great flavor to it

  

  I also made homemade syrian bread and this was it, a great dinner, hope you all get a chance to make it for yourselves, again I would like to thank you for your zatar suggestions we all really enjoyed it here at home.......Asalam walaikum to all

  Syrian bread.... how do I make this....?

  I know how to do the Pita... is it the same way... I think I will just have to roll it thiner... insh'Allah you can help me

  its basically the same as pita,

  3 cups flour (I use bread flour)

  1 1/2 tsp salt

  3/4 tsp sugar

  mix well and then add

  1 1/2 tsp yeast

  mix well again and then add

  1 1/4 cup water

  2 TB oil (vegetable)

  knead for about 10-15 min
  

  the dough will be a bit sticky but don't worry

  rub a bit of olive oil on the dough ball and place in a bowl cover it with a towel and place in a warm place for about an hour

  knead the dough out again over a slightly floured surface, cut into 8 pieces and make balls out of them and set aside for about 5 min

  roll them out to about 6 - 8 inch rounds and bake on a pizza stone slightly floured with corn meal at 475 to 500 (depending on the oven) for about 5 min till they show some browning......you can pop them later in the toaster oven if you want to save them for a later time
  

  just play with it for a few time till you get it the way you want it

  I use this recipe for pita bread, naan bread and pizza dough also for the spinach pies just poke tiny wholes in the dough with a fork once you roll it out for naan, pizza dough and spinach pie dough if you don't poke wholes the dough will rise like pita bread
