PURSLANE! A DELICIOUS WEED PACKED WITH VITAMINS. The last time I ate this wild plant was 14years ago. I knew very little of its nutritional benefits at the time.

Happy New Year to you all my virtual family. I know you've heard this over and over again but I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have you here! This is not a recipe post but rather, a thank you post and a quick update about the blog moving forward. Before the end of 2022 we posted a survey on snapchat about what you would want to see more of on www.yasminjamaal.com in addition to cooking recipes. A huge percentage of you said you would like to see every aspect of my life which included fashion, interior decor projects, health & wellness, spirituality and more. I was shocked in a good way because I never view my daily activities as that entertaining enough to watch. I am just a girl who loves and enjoy using her gifts and pours passion into everything she does. Although I cannot promise you that I will share every detail of my life right his moment, I will take baby steps. I have added a section on fashion so you get to see the shoots I do, clothes & accessories I make and other incredible fashion brands I wear). Interior decor, spirituality and more will eventually make its way in. Thank you for your continued support and I hope to continue being of service to you all. Warmest huggs, Yasmin Jamaal.
