I found some easy to make and healthy recipes ,that I would like to share .
Eating healthy food is very important for everyone of us . Most of us Muslimas dedicate our lives to our families .So we have to be extra concerned what our family members are eating ,what our children are eating and how healthy it is .
I personally don't like spending too much time on the kitchen .I enjoy doing other things ,especially spending more time on studying my religion or doing my hobbies ,but I do enjoy cooking also .
I prefer to be organazied with food ,this way cooking doesn't keep me busy ,or doesn't take my entire day on cooking and cleaning .
I prefer to plan what to cook for the whole week .I choose the recipes or write down what I will make and put things that we need to buy in a grocery list .
Ok these are few recipes I would like to share with you and this is something I'm planning to make this week inshaAllah
Enjoy :)
