Feel Good Foodie

Contributed to this helpful article on fixing bland soups in Better Homes and Gardens. Thanks for including my tip at Karla Walsh! "When Yumna Jawad, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based CEO and founder of Feel Good Foodie and the author of?The Feel Good Foodie Cookbook: 125 Recipes Enhanced with Mediterranean Flavors, finds herself with a soup that’s lacking sass, “I usually turn to acid. A little acid like lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar, or even a mustard added toward the end can brighten the soup.” #pr #feelgoodfoodie #eatgoodfeelgood

"If you’re all about easy, healthy meals that actually taste good, Yumna Jawad is one to follow. She’s got Mediterranean-inspired recipes that keep things simple but packed with flavour—think healthy bowls, fresh salads, and hearty one-pan meals. Her cookbook,?The Feel Good Foodie Cookbook, is loaded with 125 recipes that bring together the best of Middle Eastern and Western flavours. Whether you need a quick meal prep fix or just want to switch up your go-to dishes, her page has all the inspo you need." #feelgoodfoodie #foodinfluencer #mediarelations

Ramadan begins tomorrow at sunset and in anticipation I shared my favorite recipes and meal prep tips to help you celebrate this holy month. “What’s also great is that anyone can incorporate these dishes and ideas into their everyday cooking. “Even if you don’t observe the holiday, Ramadan is a great time to experiment with Middle Eastern dishes and explore new flavors,” Jawad says.” Thanks for sharing Alexandria Brooks. #ramadan #feelgoodfoodie #mediarelations #pr
