Pastels and Floral

 

 

 

     As soon as I saw this "Southern Belle Scarf" at Haute Hijab I just had to have it since it matched this blazer so well. The color of the flowers is almost identical to the blazer color. I decided to wear a gray shirt instead of a white one because, A: I have been wearing tons of white on white lately and B: I wanted to break up the colors a little and not be so "matchy-matchy" on this day.

The Black and White Blazer

 

I decided to wear a floral scarf with my black and white striped blazer this day to add a little more color to the outfit; plus stripes and florals often look great together. I just added some accessories with a pair of flats and that was it!

White and Denim

 

 

Since it is summer, (which means ridiculous heat most days where I live), white is my go to color of choice right now. I especially love white with white for the hot summer days. One of the best things about white clothing is that it will match practically everything, giving you endless styling options. I decided to keep it simple this time and paired it with a denim jacket and a pastel hijab.

Refreshing Grapefruit Drink

 

A refreshing drink for the warm weather. I have been drinking this daily; it's so good! All you need is to combine:

1/3 part Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice

1/3 part Coconut Water

1/3 part Sparking Water With Lemon

Add Fresh Mint Leaves and Ice

 

 

 

Hula Hut Style Mango Quesadillas

 

 

Hula Hut is a local restaurant where I live. The food is a mix between Mexican and Polynesian. I typically get the Mango-Poblano Chile Quesadillas, which is fresh mangos, poblano chiles and cream cheese. It is the perfect blend on sweet and spicy. I decided to make something similar at home, and this is what I came up with. This recipe is extremely easy, and perfect for a quick lunch.

 

 

Sorry the picture isn't very good, like I said, it was a quick lunch! If I had more time I probably would have drizzled Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce or Cilantro Dressing on it.

 

 

You Will Need:

Tortillas (I use Guerrilla)
Mango Salsa (Recipe Below)
Cream Cheese (I prefer the whipped cream cheese, but regular will work)
Poblano Chile- Cut into thin strips
Salt and Pepper
Chili Powder


Recipe For Mango Salsa:

1 Fresh Mango, diced
1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 A Purple Onion, chopped
1 8oz. Can Pineapple Tidbits
Chopped Fresh Cilantro

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Note: If you only have few minutes to prepare lunch, this can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator.



Directions:

1. Prepare the Mango Salsa.
2. Heat the tortillas in a pan (2 per quesadilla).
3. Spread the cream cheese onto the tortillas, add the poblano chiles, spices (to taste), and mango salsa.
4. Add another tortilla on top to make the quesadilla.
5. Heat the quesadillas until crispy.
6. Cut into triangles and serve immediately.
