Epic Ramadan/Eid T-Shirts 2014

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 9:52 am By Kristina ElSayed

Every year, I buy an Islamic themed t-shirt for my people for Eid. In 2013, I bought these styles. I see a lot of kids running around in the community with cute t-shirts that say something positive about being Muslim, or something related to Islam. I don’t know if my children will ever wear their shirts out in public. They usually end up as pajamas. Its okay though. I do this to be supportive. I do this so that they... Read more

Most Excellent Wife

Last updated on: June 13, 2014 at 10:37 am By Kristina ElSayed

Last weekend, we ended up at that market in the city where we buy our beef bacon. Each time we go, Khaled ends up finding some sort of adventurous food item to introduce to the children. The first time we went, he brought home rabbit. Last weekend, he brought home bone slices. I can’t remember what he called them, but he was super excited. I asked some general questions and Khaled explained that these were the shin bones of the... Read more

Egyptian Style Ful Medames

Last updated on: May 27, 2014 at 1:32 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Last Week, the My Islamic Life Page over on Facebook reached 250 likes. So, as promised – another recipe! Today, I’m thinking of something savoury and simple. Egyptian Style Beans. Now, I don’t know how other Egyptian families make their beans, but when my sister-in-law came to visit us, this is how she taught me and this is how Khaled eats it. 2 cans of beans – I use an equal amount of Fava and Chickpeas 2T Olive Oil +...

Mourning from Overseas

Last updated on: May 10, 2014 at 8:40 pm By Kristina ElSayed

We are a family in mourning. I am a woman in mourning. As a child growing up Christian in the Mid West, at an appropriate age I was indoctrinated in the rituals of mourning. Your loved one dies. Everyone gathers in a central location. People bring food. They call on the phone. They come over at all hours of the day. They stay the night so you are not alone. Your religious leader calls on the family. Time is spent... Read more

Swimwear Update

Last updated on: March 11, 2014 at 10:37 am By Kristina ElSayed

Right after my Pre-Hijabi Swimwear post, I received many website suggestions. This was such a relief and help! Honestly. So, I’m sharing, because that’s what we do. We Share. The First, is a Beautiful shop on Etsy. JanLucDesigns. This shop is AMAZING. The designs were inspired out of necessity. I went home and searched online for modest swimwear. Everything I found was either too oversized, too conservative, too expensive or just plain ugly! I decided to put my years of... Read more

Pre-Hijabi Swimwear

Last updated on: March 4, 2014 at 2:49 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Last weekend, I was talking with Kate and Pea about our upcoming extracurricular activity scheduling. Class times and locations had changed, and I wanted to make sure that everyone was up to speed and there wouldn’t be any big surprises…no tears because I hadn’t warned them etc. While we were talking about these changes, I casually mentioned that if there was open swim time available between classes, we should take advantage of that opportunity. Pea mentioned that she would... Read more

Basboussa Recipe – Light and Airy

Last updated on: February 14, 2014 at 5:53 pm By Kristina ElSayed

I feel loved. 🙂 This is the anti- basboussa recipe. This is for the people who like their basboussa like a fluffy cake. For the noobs. Also, for me. I don’t like my sweets tooo-too sweet, and this version I really like. With the inclusion of coconut it really gives it a little something extra. Again, from the fridge, with my coffee for breakfast – the second day. Basboussa – The Light and Airy Version 1 1/2 c Semolina (We... Read more

Moroccan Harira Soup – The Recipe Revealed

Last updated on: January 24, 2014 at 2:46 pm By Kristina ElSayed

While we were on vacation, we went to this Amazing Moroccan restaurant. I’ve never had Moroccan style food before, and didn’t know what to expect. I thought it was just a little twist on the usual Middle Eastern Fare, what Mr. Fox would describe as comfort food. I remember that I ordered something with couscous. I have no recollection of anything else that we ate aside from the Moroccan Mint Tea and the Harira Soup. Once we returned home,... Read more
