Ramadan is a time to eat less. Prepare less and focus on the needs of the poor more. It is is a time to nourish to your spiritual life, not your stomach.
Way too much time is spent preparing way too much food. Less is more.
So true. May Allah grant us the understanding of our beautiful Deen and may we be practicing Muslims. All praise is due to Allah for gifting us with Imaan,
Assalam u alaikum and Ramzan Mubarak to all!
I am a working Mum of 3 and have spent hours of preparation in the kitchen prior to iftari. But this year I decided that something had to change, I had to find a way to make life a little easier for myself alongside my job. So I planned a weekly iftari and sehri menu consisting of simple healthy meals that required minimum preparation. I had bought all my shopping according to my menu to prevent sneaky trips to the shops! And there were no sugary foods on the list either. There are 5 of us MashaAllah, cooking substantial meals for 3 growing teeeagers has proved a doddle simply by following my menu which will work on a rotation basis for the whole month In sha Allah. I’ve included healthy shakes for sehri to promote hydration and energy. My family can also see what’s cooking as it’s pinned to my fridge. MashaAllah we have lots of time for ibada and togetherness. Hope this helps anyone who is struggling with the long fasts. We love Ramadan.
Hope you wouldn’t mind sharing your Ramadan menu plz…

Yes true Ramadan is about praying and spending maximum time doing that.
But food is integral part too.
Thankyou for putting up these recipes and making the decision what to make a little less troubling.
