November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

 BismEm


Salaams and hi folks!  Summer being right down the corner, here's a quick cool dinner treat.  It's been my favorite since I was a kid and now I've introduced it to my family too.  It's really got the better of them and they go nuts if I don't make this at least once a week.
 
It's simple and wholesome, low in calories and delicious.  The only bit of cooking you need to do on the cooker is to prepare the chicken.  Just read and follow the steps below and you'll soon become an expert in chicken & pineapple salad.
 
Ingredients:
 
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tsp. prepared mustard
2 cup chicken - cooked & shredded
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp. onion, chopped fine (optional)
1/2 cup diced boiled potatoes
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple tidbits
1 (11 oz.) can Mandarin orange sections
 
Method:
 
Boil the chicken till fully cooked with spices of your choice.  When water dries up, allow the chicken pieces to cool a little.  Then remove the meat from the bones.  If you are using boneless chicken, just break the chicken pieces into irregular medium size shreds.  Usually I try to use boneless chicken breast for this dish.  It turns out best with boneless chicken breast. 
 
Drain the canned fruits and refrigerate.
 
Mix mayonnaise and mustard.
 
Stir in rest of the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.
 
Just before serving add fruit.
 
Decorate with lettuce leaves and sliced red tomatoes.
 
Now, sit down and enjoy this lovely dish with fresh dinner rolls and a glass of cold Pepsi.
 
These cold dishes are a lot healthier than the usual summer barbacues in the backyard.  Barbacue parties make us consume too much red meat containing burnt portions from the grill that make it still more unhealthy.  Instead, this summer try a variety of salads starting with this one.
 
And ..
 
Here's a variation for chicken and pineapple salad.  You can call it 'chicken and pineapple tossed salad.'
 
2 cups cold cooked diced chicken
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple rings, diced
1 cup diced celery
1 red-skinned apple, chopped
2/3 cup raisins
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Mayonnaise to moisten
Salt & pepper to taste
 
Toss all ingredients. Chill. Serve on salad greens.
 
This salad is even lower in calories as it contains less mayonnaise.  While choosing the ingredients, you can select your own re-variations.
 
Enjoy!
 
 
P.S. Sorry folks, I don't have a photo available.  Although I've prepared this stuff plenty of times, somehow never remembered to click my camera on it.  But here's one from Martha Stewart's Dinner Tonight.  Their food decorations are often out of line with what we might consider to be the best.  But to give you an idea, this is how a tossed chicken & pineapple salad would look, though mine looked quite different as I kept the chicken shreds much shorter.

Please note - Image is only to give an approximate idea how this dish looks.  Different cooks may  have their own presentations just as appealing.  But most importantly, always remember to pick your ingredients that are one hundred percent HALAL.



This one is chicken salad without pineapple.  Sorry lost the source link.
