Turkish Coffee Latte - I'm not a big fan of traditional Turkish coffee bc I like my coffee milky/creamy, so I added whole milk to the ibrik
Zaatar Croissants - croissants topped with zaatar, garlic olive oil, and white cheddar and no I did not make these from scratch I'm just having serious croissant withdrawals (thank you Trader Joe's for selling these frozen ones)
