Complete abstinence from food and water during the entire daylight hours in Ramadan helps the body detoxify of illnesses.But one ought to be careful with food choices made during the early dawn( Suhur ) and after sunset( Iftar ) meals,especially during the long days in summer.Overeating during Suhur is just as bad to the body as overwhelming the empty stomach with empty calories foods(high fat ,excess sugar)during Iftar .The high fat samosas and pakodas have to avoided at the best;dates,fruits and water are enough to break fast[which is also the Sunnah of the Prophet(pbuh)] followed by a wholesome dinner after the Maghrib prayers.I have to admit the deep fried delicacies were once my indulgence, which most certainly gave me the tummy troubles later,but I have been avoiding them in past two years for much more comforting wholesome foods. Simple and nutritious Iftar dinner platter like this(and few more in the meal plan below),with whole grains,vegetables,meats,nuts and fruits, should give the idea of eating right during Ramadan.I’m sending the platter over to Ramadan special events : Umm Mymoonah’s Iftar Moments and Mona’s Hyderabadi Ramadan food festival . Vibrant Veggie Brown Rice PulovPilaf Easy to cook this colorful whole grain pulov covers the carbs and fiber in the meal

As a seafood and nature lover,the Gulf coast Oil spill’s dire consequences immensely concerns me.When Foodbuzz announced the 24×24 Gulf Ambassador event dedicated towards raising money for those affected by the Gulf oil spill.I could not possibly miss the opportunity to support the rebuilding efforts and promptly proposed a Gulf inspired meal titled “Save the Coast – A Louisiana Seafood Celebration”.Apparently Mr.Healthnut and I were in planning of a get together.It has been a year since we moved to Columbus and was about time we socialized with our new acquaintances.With my proposal accepted and my amiable pals available to join in the seafood feast,here is how I proceeded to prepare and execute the memorable dinner. Normally I would start the preparation for a party(like this one) at least 3 days ahead.But it was different with seafood which tastes best the same day as cooked.The only prep work the day before was to have all the ingredients in hand. Since my friends share the same love for spicy seafood ,the main ingredients were exclusively seafood.I choose affordable simple kind – crab,shrimp and fish,since we wanted this to be a budget friendly meal.Inspired by traditional Louisiana cuisine,each of the courses had to be flavorful but not overwhelmingly spicy as the weather was already turning up the heat.

A close relative of bananas,carbohydrate rich Plantains when extremely ripe, taste as amazing as bananas.I have to admit,the raw plantain curry that mom used to makes did not quite kindle the appetite,but the crunchy chips and crispy fries were whole another temptation. But more than raw I cherish the ripe fruitier form of plantains.The plantains have a very long shelf life,while the raw is great for chips and curries,the medium ripe makes a great breakfast treat when lightly caramelized with little bit of sugar,better yet the completely ripe plantains are the best for making these energy boosting breakfast muffins.
