Umm Alkhyr Eats

As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, Ahlan wa Sahlan Beautiful Souls! Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet! I’m Umm Alkhyr —a proud American Muslimah born and raised in vibrant Philadelphia, right on the East Coast of the U.S. I created this blog as a joyful space to share my world: favorite eats, treasured recipes, and slices of my everyday lifestyle—all sprinkled with love, flavor, and authenticity. My passion for food runs deep. Some of my earliest and dearest memories are rooted in the kitchen with my granddaddy—watching him scramble eggs in a cast iron skillet, clean fresh greens at the sink, and stir Kool-Aid like it was an art form. Those warm, joy-filled moments shaped the way I express myself in the kitchen today. I cook with heart, memory, and creativity—just like he did. But food isn’t my only love. I’m also a full-on beauty enthusiast and a lover of all things girly! Give me a sharp eyeliner, a perfect lip combo, and a new deep conditioner, and I’m in my happy place...
