Musakhan Recipe- Middle Eastern Sumac Chicken
After picking my wild sumac and making it into a spice, I kind of was at a loss of what to do with it, other than making sumac lemonade. I mean, I knew my mom would make chicken with sumac when I was growing up, but that sumac was pretty boring. Just chicken, sumac, and […]
Vegan Mayonnaise Recipe- Soy Free
I haven’t bought a jar of mayonnaise, other than a few exceptions, in a few years. I make my own, always. Eggs, oil, a little lemon, a little mustard, some salt, and some trial and error until you get the technique down pat. Homemade mayo tastes so much better than store bought, and I know I […]
