Eid al Fitr Celebrations 2018

My parents aren’t huge fans of turkey, so I made roast chicken instead. Love the Roast Sticky Chicken - Rotisserie Style recipe from @allrecipes! It’s always a huge hit and I’ve been making it for years. Last night, I made a turkey using the dry brine recipe from @wsj (not pictured). The meat texture came out great, but the salt did not absorb as well into the meat as when I wet brine. I did only dry brine for 24 hours and am wondering if 48 hours would have been better. Share how you prep your turkey in the comments! 🦃 . . . #turkeyprep #thanksgivingrecipes #houstonmombloggers #houstonmuslims #muslimmom #muslimmomblogger #muslimamerican #mealprepideas #thanksgivingmealprep #brining #cookingmethods #cookingtips #roastchickenrecipe #roastchickendinner

This was my first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner in our new home. I really enjoyed creating this super simple #tablescape and will do it again tomorrow night for another dinner party.

Thanksgiving has evolved in our household. In my childhood, it started off as something very “American” and not really part of us. We got together with family just because we were all off from school and work. As the years passed, it became more and more a part of our own culture and tradition. We tried making turkey in different ways, using our traditional spice blends (major fail), until finally learning the secret of brining. Our Thanksgiving table consists of a variety of Pakistani dishes some years, or American dishes other years , or Arab dishes the years following my marriage, or a mix of all three. Funnily enough, it mirrors the evolvement of our identity as Americans. Traditions continue to change as we grow, learn, connect with new places and people. We celebrate Thanksgiving as a time to be grateful, enjoy the time off with our families, and eat our favorite foods. I plan to continue on with these traditions and make new ones, but to also make sure we keep the indigenous people of this land in our hearts always. ❤️ Hope you all have a blessed and happy holiday.

I always hear “only moms would get happy over that.” Whenever the kids learn something new, it feels huge and we can’t help but share our joy. We may get laughed at for it, but kids remind you to appreciate those small moments. They remind you how remarkable our minds and bodies are. At the back of every mom’s head is a little worry - what if they can’t. To a parent, these insignificant moments are everything.
