Taking a Breather from Blogging

Hello Everyone!

Yes I guess considering how much ve been around lately its inevitable that I would take a break from blogging! I started this blog to share my recipes and life with anyone who would be interested in it, and i do hope that i have acheived my goal in doing this.

BUT, for now with everything going on in my life, i have lost space and time for blogging on a daily basis temporarliy, inshallah......not permanently!

So, please feel free to travel through my dusty pages for any inspiration or info you might need to get a meal on the table and if you need anything or just want to say hello feel free to email me!

I dont know how long I will be gone, but, inshallah, not long!

Thanks to all of my blogger freinds who ALWAYS comment on my blog(you know who you are)! I will really miss you!

Your time and comments here are precious to me and I cannot thank you enough for taking time out from your own day to make mine brighter with your lovley and flattering comments and compliments to me....

Until we meet again!

Roast Chicken Sultana Style!

VERY SIMPLE!

Cut up all the kinds of veggies you want to roast. I used garlic heads,bell peppers,onions,tomato,potato,carrot,and zucchini.

Sprinkle over this any spices you like the tastes of. I used garlic salt and ras el hanout spices with salt and pepper.

Stuff the chicken with sliced onions and a garlic bulb and a half a lemon which you used for putting over the chicken.

Rub spices over the chicken and the juice of half of that lemon you used to stuff the chicken. Put it all in a pan like above and drizzle over this olive oil.

Roast in a moderatley hot oven for one hour and for crispier chicken put it closer to the heat source in the last 5-10 minutes. Then serve!

Vegetable Soup

I know I have not updated in a while, its only because I don't have any new recipes that Ive made over the last few days! I have been eating dishes that can be found within my blog in the soups and salads section.

To be honest, I'm so drained of energy from the Gym and College...Not to mention the Cats and their need for affection 24 hrs a day, oh yeah, AND my husband...lol...Phew! My coffee no longer works as effectively as it should to wake me up. On top of all this I haven't lost anymore weight, but I know its too early to tell, but i still wish i could have lost a teeny bit more from all that running and climbing on the StairMaster and Treadmill! On top of all that "something" is wrong with my stomach. The Doctor says theres nothing wrong, but I keep getting this nauseous burning feeling and bloating in the middle of my stomach. It comes and goes in waves...I don't know what to do now that my Dr says it nothing! Drinking laban or eating yogurt seems to help, but that's not a solution.All I want to eat is cereal and milky stuff because of it, and that makes my blog suffer too!...I just hope it goes away!


I made Vegetable Soup 2 days ago for dinner but did not take pictures, so below you'll find a link to a similar recipe to the one I made. Try it out! Its delicious!

And.....Here is the cereal I eat for breakfast and sometimes dinner too. It doesnt need anything added to it but milk, unlike cornflakes that I always have to sweeten myself. It is VERY good!
