Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Surprise!

It's a current favourites round-up from me. I love reading these kinds of posts (current faves include this and this) on a Sunday afternoon especially while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. So, I thought I would bring my own version of them back. This week, a smoothie obsession, those Portuguese custard tarts and a pasta bake craving. Plus 6 food ideas for your upcoming week!
Enjoy!

I hit 17,000 followers on Instagram this week. Thanks for following along if you do!

Get ready for my smoothies from this week. First, a white smoothie with banana + ground almonds + milk + honey.

The green smoothie with banana + baby spinach + apple juice + lime juice.

An orange smoothie with ginger + carrot + frozen mango + orange juice + lime juice.

And, my personal favourite. The purple smoothie with pears + frozen blueberries + apple juice.

I know it's Autumn but these strawberries were just as sweet as they were in the Summer. We got them from Aldi.

Ingredients for a salad. That basket is from Pakistan and can collapse into a board as well. Not the best thing to try to do when it is filled with cherry tomatoes.

Sunday lunch - merguez sausages with herby yoghurt + an Italian chopped salad with practically the entire kitchen in it.

A Sunday evening roti production line.

Adding the most fragrant chillies to ...

... our Pakistani chicken curry.

Baked potatoes ready for the week. I like to use them at breakfast, lunch, dinner and anything in between. They're so versatile plus the smell of them baking can rival any cake.

Sadaf, the lovely designer, who re-designed my blog last year has a new site. See it here!
