The latest recipes, tested and filmed at home.
Spicy Peanut Noodles
These spicy peanut noodles are creamy, savory, a little spicy, and so good for an easy lunch or dinner. Made with thick egg noodles, chicken, bell peppers, and a rich peanut sauce, this is one of those meals that feels super satisfying and comes together with simple ingredients.
Beef Enchiladas
These beef enchiladas are such a good easy dinner. They’re filled with seasoned beef, onions, peppers, and cheese, then baked with a rich homemade enchilada sauce until hot and bubbly.
Shakshuka
Shakshuka is one of my all-time favorite breakfast or lunch recipes. It’s cozy, simple, and full of flavor, with eggs simmered in a rich tomato and peppery sauce that’s perfect for scooping up with warm bread.
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
These buffalo chicken wraps are spicy, crispy, creamy, and so satisfying. Made with crispy chicken, homemade coleslaw, buffalo sauce, parmesan, and wrapped in a large tortilla, they’re such an easy lunch or dinner idea — especially with sweet potato fries on the side.
Parmesan Truffle Fries
These parmesan truffle fries are crispy, savory, and so easy to make at home. Tossed with freshly grated parmesan, truffle oil, and parsley, then served with garlic aioli, they feel restaurant-style with barely any effort.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These double chocolate chip cookies are rich, soft, and full of chocolate in every bite. They have a deep chocolate flavour from the cocoa powder, lots of semisweet chocolate chips, and bake up perfectly thick after chilling.

Why Simply by Maha?
Simply by Maha started as a way to share the recipes I was already cooking for family and friends. I noticed that most recipe blogs buried the actual recipe under walls of text, so I took a different approach — every recipe on this site is written to be clear, tested at home, and easy to follow, whether you're a beginner or a confident cook.
I create short-form recipe videos on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels to show you exactly how each dish comes together, step by step in under a minute. Then the full written recipe lives here on the site with complete ingredient lists, detailed instructions, and tips I've learned from making it myself.
You'll find everything from Middle Eastern classics and Mediterranean salads to quick comfort food and simple desserts. I focus on everyday ingredients you can find at any grocery store, realistic prep times, and flavours that actually deliver. No filler recipes, no overcomplicated techniques — just honest food that tastes great.
