For your sweet cravings, an easy to make dessert…
I am enjoying my holidays, can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. Two more days and then the long weekend, after that I have to get back to work. By next week Ramadan will come to an end and we will be having Eid celebration most probably on Thursday or Friday. Looking forward to that.
The other day, when I had a sweet craving I made this easy to make sweet vermicelli or vermicelli in cream cheese. This is a very simple recipe, but will definitely sweeten up your taste buds.
