What reminds you of summer?
For me, it’s camping, s’mores, smell of campfire smoke, and long road trip drives.
Growing up we always went camping and lucky for me (or not 🙈) I’ve married someone who enjoys camping even more than my family!
My husband and I even made a camping-at-every-state-park-drive to the east coast a few years back.
Tell me what your favorite thing about summer is-
And let me know if you think I should add more color to my July spread?? I like the pop of teal but I’m itching to color in everything else!
PS. I’m sharing the rest of my July planner later in my stories, as requested by

This is the perfect pasta dinner you want in your life! Tuscan chicken pasta is a family favorite around here, and for good reason! It’s creamy and slightly spicy, with flavors from sun dried tomatoes and oregano. And it’s so easy and delicious, you’ll want to make it over and over again.
I’m sharing this recipe as part of a family-favorite collaboration, invited by Ambreen from .

1 lb pasta
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces

Salt, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes or more, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup half and half OR 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped baby spinach or 1 cup sliced mushrooms (or use a mix of both)

2) while pasta’s boiling, make the sauce- stir fry the onion for 1 min, then add garlic.

4) add the chicken and cook until barely done.
5) add the chicken broth and veggies, Stir, cover pot and reduce heat to low until sauce gets thick and bubbly.

Quarantine: the time I’ve truly learned to appreciate and prioritize meals at home with my family.
Growing up, we always ate our meals together as a family. It was a blessing I took for granted, because post marriage/kids, with my husband’s work schedule & the kids’ different timings, it was difficult to get that family time in.
The orders for stay at home helped us figure out the best timing for eating together...and we’ve enjoyed it greatly. Now that things are slowly going back to normal, we’ll have to tweak schedules to make sure we eat at least one meal together, everyday. It helps to engage kids in conversation, to help them instill good eating habits and table manners.
When we visited my family last month, we did just that: eat together & enjoy conversations. And my mom and sisters helped me create this Arab breakfast spread, turned out fantastic Alhamdulillah.

This was a unique Eid to remember, but a joyous Eid nonetheless.
We set our brunch tables, did our mehndi, opened our gifts, prayed for our seeds to be accepted, held our Eid morning prayers...
And now we wait for another Ramadan, InshaAllah!
How was your Eid?

I know it is nearing the end of Ramadan, but I have had a goal all month long...
I have been wanting to make my own rose syrup, kind of like a healthier version of Rooh-Afza. I dont prefer to use store bought syrup because of the red food dye and artificial additives.
So when Tamanna of Invited me to share A Ramadan drink, I took this opportunity to make our own homemade rose syrup.
It’s actually quite easy to do and I can’t believe that it tastes even better than the bottled syrup!
Here’s what I did to make my own:
First I made a simple syrup with 1 cup water and 3/4 cup raw cane sugar. I boiled it down to half cup of liquid, next I added 1 tablespoon of rosewater and one drop Kewra essence (pandan extract). Simmered that for one minute on low heat, then I added a handful of fresh rose petals. I let it steep for five minutes and then cooled it, and added 1/4 cup of the syrup +1/4 cup ice in a glass and filled to the top with water. Optional was to add a drop of red food color (I like using a food-based dye to avoid the harmful effects of artificial coloring).
I am so excited to use the syrup for other desserts and I hope you guys try it too!!

It all started out when one of my friends decided she was craving gajar ka halwa, aka carrot halwa, and sent us a picture of her final result. Carrots simmered in milk and ghee until condensed into a rich, thick, sweet aromatic dessert that’s described as one thing: indulgent.
I had never attempted it before in my 27 years of existence and didn’t know my own craving was so bad until I bought a giant bag of carrots on a whim during a Costco shopping trip.
Called my mom, who vaguely told me how it was made and without thinking I went ahead and shredded 5 lbs of carrots. Doused them in full fat milk, and in between many nursing sessions and diaper changes I watched as the milk and carrots cooked down.
Cue problem one: it started to stick to the bottom, pretty badly. Thanks, electric stove. Called my mom again, who said yep, you’ve got to stir it around quite a lot.
Hmm maybe I should’ve thought twice about making this. I scraped the good portions of the semi cooked halwa into a clean pot and resumed cooking it down. Now it was needing 100% of my attention and I had to constantly stir. It’s really quite the workout.
Cue my husband entering the kitchen. “Oh, let me handle it. I used to do it so much with mama (aka master mithai chef)”. I’m surprised but by now my arm is giving out so...
Gratefully I stepped back, watching as he stirred and scraped and made sure the halwa cooked down to the right consistency. Called my mom on FaceTime who helped me figure out how much butter and sugar to add. Before I knew it, it all came together wonderfully.
And that’s the story of how I made my first gajar ka halwa, on a very sporadic note. I have a newfound respect for everyone who ventures to make desi desserts 👌💪
I’ve had people ask me for the recipe, but I promise you this was one of those “eyeball everything methods”. I will share that very vague method in my stories today iA!

I love how communities are managing to keep the spirit of Ramadan even amidst the stay at home orders. Although our hearts long to be at the masjid, these little gestures of kindness are a blessing and prove that community is still so valuable to us.
What can you do to show that love to your brothers and sisters the remaining Ramadan?
Send Iftar to friends and family (like this food, We were given it and all I had to do was fry some falafel and make some soup for our Iftar...what a lifesaver given all the tantrums that took place that day).
Send a fruit basket
Send a gift card to a coffee place
Order through a takeout service place like or for another family
Buy and give a gift card to a local restaurant for a nice meal
Send a Ramadan care package: dates, a cute water bottle, a cute prayer scarf or kufi, some nice candles, chocolate
Bake and send some dessert: cookies, cupcakes or muffins are great
Ramadan fun for kids- new art supplies, craft kit, scrapbook paper, notebook, a nice book or two and package it nicely in a basket.
The ideas are endless,
The extra help is so appreciated.
We need one another, especially in this blessed month. Let’s all do our part, every little action helps to uplift someone’s mood, helps to give comfort, or remove grudges and build love. May You find the remaining days of Ramadan filled with blessings 🤗

*Moon Unit Study*
Since the Islamic calendar follows a lunar month, the sighting of the crescent moon is the start of Ramadan too.
I figured, why not turn this into a learning opportunity about Mr. Mysterious Moon..phases of the moon have always fascinated me growing up, and why not pass that interest to my child?
For a 5 year old, some of these concepts stick and some don’t. But that’s ok, because each year we can revisit and add on to what we’ve learned.
Some items which helped for this unit:
*Usborne’s Book of Moon (highly recommend, has so many facts and history behind the moon)
*moon phase dolls or cards. The dolls were my little project but we use them as a matching activity with the cards, which have labels as well.
Note: the dolls were completely inspired by video tutorial.
*under the Ramadan moon book- because it’s not all about facts, we also like to read fiction and stories as well!
*a number of Crescent & Full Moon Crafts- my “homeschool” highlights has some ideas.
*Nature Anatomy book has a great visual of moon phases, sun, and earth so they grasp the concept better.
*all the resources listed in moon week.
You can do *so* much more. The moon is truly fascinating, and learning about it builds on that fascination, subhan al Khaliq, our Creator!

The decor is done, now we wait.
We wait the arrival of the crescent moon, eager and excited about our Ramadan plans.
A different Ramadan, but InshaAllah just as blessed, or more.
Disclaimer- I set this up as a trial, in between diaper changes and feedings. Planning to iron that tablecloth, to straighten out things a little more. But guess what, I’ve got my hands full and my kids don’t care about perfection, they care about the memories they make reading those stories and playing/praying in that tent. It’s all about balance.
Praying for a wonderful Ramadan for you and your families, dear friends.
