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.
Creamy Spinach Stuffed Chicken
This creamy spinach stuffed chicken is such a good comfort dinner. The chicken is filled with a creamy cheesy spinach mixture, then pan-seared and finished in the oven until perfectly cooked. I love serving it with simple mashed potatoes.
Chicken Parm with Spicy Rigatoni
This chicken parm with spicy rigatoni is such a good dinner when you want something extra comforting. The crispy chicken, melted cheese, and creamy spicy pasta are such a good combo.

About this kitchen
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.
