Salam Alaikum (Peace be upon you).

My name is Taiyyaba.

I'm Muslim by blessing, American by birth, Pakistani by blood, and Syrian by b'marriage. (sorry, I needed the symmetry). My family and friends are a beautiful mix of cultures and experiences, and I'm blessed to have them in my life. I live in NC with my prince charming, Ameir.

I'm a third year law student, not ready to take the Bar, but ready to take on the world. Here's to hoping I never lose the spirt of wide-eyed optimism, but gain the experience to make it happen.

I like to cook, when I get the time for it. If it comes out well, I blog about it here. I like photography, but I'm still learning the ins and outs of my camera. I'll get around to figuring it all out when I'm not so busy with this law school thing.

Thanks for visiting! If you try any of these recipes, I'd love to know how they turn out. Please leave comments. They're fun to read during class...uh....during my free time.
