Life Through My Eyes
One of the most irritating things of a person’s character I find to be is this: creating false statements about others. Worse? Passing it on. It could be something frivolous or on a grander scale. Either way, it’s baseless. But it’s something I have never been able to tolerate. I pray to Allah SWT that it’s something that never …
Tonight for dinner, I made a “fiery” five pepper baked [whole] chicken. I took two whole chickens and [using a fork] poked holes in each of them in order to let the marinade seep through to the inside. Next, I marinated the chicken with: black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground mustard, a …
Today, I did a twist on my Seven Layer Bars. Click here to see the original combination of ingredients. These Seven Layer Bars [either version] are such a quick and easy dessert to put together. Not to mention they are a crowd pleaser! I stuck with the graham cracker base that I used in the original …
Tonight, for dinner, I made Chicken Gyros. Healthy, flavorful and delicious! I took boneless chicken cubes, and marinated it with: black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, yogurt and lemon juice. I cooked it over low heat for about an hour. In the last few minutes, I turn the heat …
My parents recently got me a stand-mixer, and I put it to use today by making my own naan for the chicken gyros I made for dinner tonight! In the past, I’ve had such a hard time with making dough and today, it was ready in mere minutes… dough’s just got a whole lot easier to make. What I used …
Oh dear Rutgers. Former school of mine. Pretty much housed in my backyard. As a student, I was always proud to be affiliated with Rutgers. I mean, come on, how many schools do you know that have turned down the IVY league status? You represent the state of New Jersey. But, for one reason or another, you just …
A couple of weeks ago, I found Ami trying to find my baby pictures, and it was so nice to go through some of our old pictures from our childhood. It had been a while since I had gone through them. Many of my newborn photos, including the first photo taken of me mere moments after …
A couple of weeks ago, I meant to make my strawberry and mango combination drink, but I accidentally mixed the pina colada and mango mixers without giving it a second thought. I didn’t even realize it until I mixed all the ingredients together and thought to myself that the color looked… a little off. To fix it, I added in the strawberry mixer too …
Way back in my freshmen year of college, I had to write a ten page paper against the death penalty. If I had to do it now, ten pages would have seemed nowhere near enough. I could go on and on. Fittingly, I chose to title it: “The Most Premeditated of Murders”. Evidence aside, in …
