Another little side dish I can’t say no to is sweet potatoes. I love everything about them from their taste to how easy they are to prepare. Like almond flour, they are used as substitutes for a number of Paleo friendly dishes. They contain many of the vitamins and nutrients that we need on a daily basis including ones that keep us energetic. Best part about preparing them is that you don’t have to do much, you can bake, fry, steam, or roast them with minimal additional ingredients. Next time you are out and you really have to have fries, make them sweet potato fries.
For Sahoor
Since I’m on an egg hiatus, I’m moving on to one of my favorites (after avocados) meal additions. For Sahoor I turned to sweet potatoes. I took two sweet potatoes, skinned them, cut them into pieces and place them in boiling water. I put a lid over the pot and let it broil until the the potato pieces got soft. I then drained the water and mashed them up. I squeezed half a lemon into it and added about 1/2 tsp of chaat masala. It was more than enough to fill me up.
Workout of the Day
I decided to take on this stupid ab challenge I saw on Facebook. It’s basically a series of ab exercises that increase in length and difficulty over the course of 30 days. Here is day 1:
- 15 situps
- 5 crunches
- 10 second plank
For Iftar
This was a cheat meal. Honestly I ran out of time to make anything. It’s funny how I’m off from work yet a million things have found their way into my schedule. Well I guess a certain large purchase is keeping me busy. Anyways. The cheat meal as usual is my secret. This should be the last one until Eid, inshAllah.
Speaking of Eid, it’s just around the corner! Less than a week! Do you have your fancy clothes ready? Not sure if I’m going to wear something traditional or a suit this year. Whatever is clean I guess.
One Fit Ramadan 
i have more.than enough fancy clothes lol. and looks good…never thought of putting chaat masala in it.
i make a dessert type thing with sweet potatoes all the time. its easy and healthy. and taste mad good. i boil them until soft and then i just warm them.in warm milk ..any milk will do. and warm it.up and.mash the sweet potatoes…enjoy. i also use yams sometimes.
Nice..care to share?? Yeah chaat masala is my go to spice. I tend to put it on everything.
That sounds good. How do you think it would taste with almond milk? I’m going to try it out! Thanks
lol i always use almond milk for it. and i dont add anything else to that ‘dessert’…chaat masala is too extreme for me. my usual go tk spice would have to be black pepper.
Perfect. I’ll try it out! Better be good or the integrity if eva626 will be on the line.
Yeah..black peppers. Had a bad experience when I was younger so we don’t get along very well.
erm…idk if you will like it. lol but hopefully it won’t ruin my rep. haha. nah i dont really have a rep on the internet lol….or in real life.
you should share that story! i had bad experience with pepper spray, but not the spice black pepper..cause we cool like that. then comes haldi…you know, turmeric.
