~Smoothie~



Got Overripe Bananas?  Dont throw away!!

Martha Stewart Living, September 2004
Don't let overripe bananas go to waste. Freeze them to use later for refreshing smoothies. First, peel and slice bananas; then freeze each one in an airtight container or plastic bag. When ready to use, there's no need to defrost. Blend together 1 frozen banana with 1 cup plain yogurt and a splash of orange, mango, or pineapple juice for about one minute, until consistency is thin enough to sip through a straw.  Enjoy sipping:)

~Dressing - Avacado~



A cool and creamy avocado dressing with tangy buttermilk, fresh cilantro and lime juice along with some spicy jalapeno pepper ~ what else do you need to make your dressing yumm:)

For a new salad that I have been thinking about I wanted a nice and cool and creamy dressing and I was thinking about trying something a little bit different, an avocado dressing. I was originally planning on including diced avocado in the salad but I liked the idea of a creamy avocado dressing even more. I did make one quick change to the recipe by including some mayonnaise which goes fabulously well with avocados. I have to say that this avocado dressing is amazingly good; nice and creamy so so fresh and vibrant! Now I just need to resist eating it all by the spoonful so that it can make it into the salad!

Darling this is for us:)

Alhamdullilah

Alhamdullilah

Say Alhamdullilah

Whatever happens is by the Will of Allah, whether it be good or bad. Sometimes we forget Allah when it comes to happy moments, but immediately turn to Him for the bad. We should always be thanking Allah (SWT) for His infinite blessings, even in the tough times. He still gives and gives and we don’t even ask. The mercy of our Lord is beyond.. Subhna’Allah. “Its better a calamity that turns you to Allah, than a blessing that makes you forget Allah”
Always say Alhamdulillah for everything….
