Alhamdudillah (Praise be to Allah)
I got the news on Sunday that I had won a blog award that

 I was nominated for, 'Most Inspirational Award'. 

From receiving over 100 000 page views in less than a year to winning an award I can't believe it!

Now I am not going to make this my oscar award speech lol,

but I really am so happy and so blessed to receive so many votes to win. 

I was up against amazing women, with such amazing blogs 

that I really appreciate each vote, all the love and support I receive daily from my subscribers.

I know this an inspirational award, and I run a food blog and in a way it makes no sense,

but really running a blog and trying to make it successful is so hard,

a lot of people who have blogs know what I am talking about. 

I wish that this does inspire people out there,

that you can be in a small town in Botswana, Africa, 

and you can still make any dream come true.

I won't say it's easy or that all days are good days, 

it's hard to keep motivated, to find the time, to not give up.

But if you surround yourself with people that support you,

and you are stubborn to not give up anything is possible Inshallah (If Allah Wills).

Take the bad days as they come, take the negativity from people,

but never stop trying. 

I still have a long way to go,

I still have so many goals for my blog that I want to achieve.

This award may open so many doors,

or non at all. 

But I am happy to receive it, 

and it will forever be a milestone I achieved in my blogging journey. 

I won't give up, no matter how hard, or how many people put me down.

And I hope that if you want to start a blog, or write, or do anything it may be hard,

do don't have to be dripping in money or have the latest technology to make your dream come true. 

Also never forget to pray for what you want! 

Always spread love and positivity. 

I may have a long way to go but I have come a long way.

Thank you once again,

for all your votes, for even nominating me.

I really love and appreciate everyone and I hope the recipes you follow on my blog, 

brings your family together with love.

Also a huge thank you my Aunty Fatima and my mum Aysh Dok for teaching me to cook.

Their fast ways make me think I am in hells kitchen sometimes ahh

oh and my granny for never letting me come near the kitchen till a few years ago lol
And to Muslimah Bloggers for hosting this award!

By the way I have tagged all websites I was up against, 

please check them out.

Love From

Zainab Dokrat
