Ramadan offers special memories for families and many of them revolve around making and eating good food. As a special feature of our online children’s clases – Adam’s World Club and Colors of Islam Clubs – we have been sharing delicious and nutritious recipes that are also fun to make and encourage family bonding. This Healthy Pumpkin Bars recipe is a favorite!
May the recipes you prepare bring delight to your taste buds and warmth to your hearts, as you share in the bounty of Allah's provisions. And may the bonds strengthened in the kitchen extend beyond the walls of your home, connecting you to the wider community of believers around the world. Ameen.
