Joy from Fasting to feasting

Fasting is the third pillar of Islam and it means to abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset. Above all, Fasting purifies the heart and increases awareness of Allah's Presence.

I love to prepare my family's favorite foods during the Fast and we love to share with everybody irrespective of religion! Everybody is welcome at our table! In fact my home is always full whether it is Ramadaan or not. It gives me a great sense of well being to be able to give to and feed others. My Niyat( Intention) is that I share these recipes with the belief that all of you are actually breaking Fast here in my home.
May your Eid Mubarak celebration be a joyous one and God bless everyone!
