The Smart Mummy Way of Cooking Meals for Ramadan and School - November 2024

I still remember how chaotic it was for me and other mums when the first day of school fell on the same day as the first day of Ramadan last year. Many of my other mum friends had to juggle school preparations and getting food ready for Sahur and Iftar. And that’s not counting the daytime menu for our younger kids who have not yet started fasting. I’m getting a headache just thinking about it. This year it turns out is no different, just one day off. Based on past experience, I’ve figured out some life-saving Smart Mummy tips that I’m about to share with you now. Tips that I’m hoping will definitely be useful for all mothers out there struggling with school preparation, especially during this chaotic Ramadan. And that main tip is…to start stocking up on those Ayam Brand™ products! All the mummies out there, you surely must have heard of Ayam Brand™, right? Quick and Easy Prep for Sahur, Iftar and All Meals Due to the sheer variety of Ayam Brand™ products, you can plan all your Ramadan meals from just a handful of canned foods. For those who enjoy a Western breakfast, the Ayam Brand Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce is a must-have. Serve with sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and toast, and you have a satisfying Sahur meal for the whole family. The Ayam Brand Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce is low in fat and rich in fibre. Tomato sauce is also rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that slows down cell aging and reduces blood pressure. Because it’s so easy to prepare, its great for every meal as well as for Sahur. A quick and nutritious meal for small kids. “But I Can’t Sahur Without Rice!” To be honest, I feel the same way. Sahur just doesn’t feel complete without some rice (and my favourite side dishes). For those who prefer (and need) heavy meals for Sahur, did you know that Ayam Brand™ now has an entire line-up of ready-to-use cooking pastes? From chicken curry and sambal tumis to rendang and masak merah, you can now choose from a variety of delicious and nutritious paste packages to cut your cooking time and effort in half.
