HI, I’M YUMNA
I’m glad you’re here! I founded Feel Good Foodie more than 10 years ago, back when I was still learning to cook. I’ve come a long way since then, but my number one goal is still the same: to make healthy, family-friendly cooking easy and fun for you! Need an idea for what to make for dinner tonight? Well you’ve come to the right place, and I promise you’ll leave saying, “That was good – so good!”

Lebanese Crushed Lentil Soup
Crushed Lentil Soup, called Shorbat Adas in Arabic, is a staple Lebanese recipe that I couldn’t live without! It’s traditionally made with red lentils, onions, cumin, and lemon juice. But my mom always added short-grain rice and carrots to her lentil soup recipe to make it hearty and colorful, so that’s what I started doing. This is one of the most iconic soup recipes in Lebanon, and it’s especially popular during the month of Ramadan, when many Muslims break their fast with this heartwarming soup.
