Sauerkraut

i have been wanting to make this for a very very long time. fermented vegetables, with the thousands of friendly bacteria in them is definately the best thing for anyone who is trying to restore their gut flora, but actually it's a great thing for just about anyone and everyone. its a great way to preserve your vegetables and works wonders for your health as whole.
i used organic red cabbage, sea salt and carraway seeds. it so simple, i really don't know why i put it off for so long?




 

if your interested in boosting your health, then friendly bacteria is the way to go.
i got my recipe and method from here http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-easy-homemade-sauerkraut-in-a-mason-jar-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-193124

Turkey :: Istanbul

Alhamdulillah, we feel blessed that we were able to go on a holiday, to Turkey, Istanbul. SubhaanAllah, it was full of beauty, so much to see and do. from the minute we hit istanbul, we were constantly on the go, and we loved it.
here's a few glimpses into how we spent our days....









 
So much history, so much culture and so much beauty.
a feast for the eyes and for our tummies MashaAllah

a winter walk....

today our winter walk was of a different kind. today we had a purpose which went beyond having a stroll and breathing the fresh air. today we had others in mind, our local, wild birds to be precise.
as we snuggle together and keep ourselves warm and cosy, waiting for this long and cold winter to come to an end, we often forget about all others who are also anticipating the warm and fruitful days that the summer will bring.
so we feed, we feed them, in order to feed our own souls.
