Passing Through This Life

Assalamu alikum so i decided to start a new blog and called it renewing life    just click here on the title or at the top pf the blog its written and linked  I will continue with this blog but i will be writing and talking about my life on keto and Intermittent fasting ...so please come join me 

Assalamu alaikum  So another year and ramadan is upon us ..but this ramadan is different as we all have to stay home ...no praying in he masjids ... no community iftars .... no family and friends coming together .... but one thing it does have is time ... time to reflect on ourselves ...and a time to get closer to Allah ... we can only hope that by doing this Allah will lift this virus and show us how to become better  As for food and what to cook this year will be the same as most years ... i no longer make large amounts of food ...i like to keep it simple.... i will have some soup also know as chourba .... some days i make boreak and other days i make my version of a sausage roll but with chicken and some salad and thats it  Ramadan isnt about how full we can make our stomachs it about learning and growing ..about feeling how those who are without food feel ..its about the body fixing its self ... its about restraint and will power  This is an exampl

Assalamu Alaikum Life changes and so does the weather ... their have been some cold days and some really cold days but for me i have really felt it but i do miss that time of the year in ireland ... sitting beside the fire and drinking a cup of tea ...  of a nice hot bowl of soup and being irish it must come with some butter bread  my daughter made this wonderful soup it was hot a spicy and really warms the body ...she likes to try out new recipes this one has fennel and potato as well as chilli flakes and cream  on the days that are not so cold then something light is good  A nice light egg omelette filled with salad .. this has become a favourite of ours  and so easy to make ... it goes good with some home made pitta bread too  whats your favourite dish ???

Assalamu Alakium So its been nearly a month since the birth of my second grandchild  and wow has it been hectic ... his big sister is nearly 2 and such a handful , i find this generation of kids are different to when i grew up or even to when i had my kids ....  So far what we have dealt with is the boy having to have numerous blood test done due to jaundice , its amazing as to the level it gets to in order to have these tests done ... alhamdu lilah everything was fine but still as the yellow is still in he eyes he had to go for a prolong jaundice test to make sure its nothing to do with the liver so now we wait for the results Im in such awe with this little fellow to the point that when he cries and does this special thing with his bottom lip i find my heart breaks and all i want to do is pick him up and cuddle him and then he does it a second time and  find tears coming into my eyes ,,,,ive become one of those soppy grandmothers lol,,, But really life is
