I’ve really missed Mosaic Mondays for the past couple of weeks since I had different posts lined up. It’s good to get back to it! Here’s what’s going on…...
Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, is here again! This means that for the next month, my hubby and I will be fasting food and drink from dawn to sunset. Ramadan teaches patience and discipline, and is also a time for prayer, reflection, and empathy. Thinking of those less fortunate and doing what you can to help them is a huge part of Ramadan....
My mom has always been quite the sneaky cook. She always wanted us to expand our culinary horizons and give new things a try.
