As a food lover I am slightly addicted to finding my next recipe or food idea. I am always scrolling through Instagram pages or blogs. Recently I have discovered the brilliant MuslimMamaOnTheMove.com. The woman behind this blog is Lindsey Nicole. She is an American-Muslim convert of 14 years and a mother of two.
She is a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist and helps to simplify healthy living and healthy eating for busy Muslim mums. Not only that but she is also an E-Book author, artist and world traveller. Yes, we are talking about a very talented woman. What I love about her is her authentic, no nonsense approach to not only cooking but also to Islam and motherhood.
It was hard to choose a favourite recipe from her e-book because they are all delicious, straightforward and nutritious. The recipe I did choose is the Chicken Avocado Soup. It’s a really refreshing light soup that you must try. We had it with a side of salad and bread to dip into for iftar. The chicken, avocado combination was new to my family but they loved it.
