Homemade Mayonnaise
I love making homemade condiments and spices. They’re so simple and you usually already have the ingredients on hand. They end up tasting much better than the store-bought counterpart.

Lentil Burgers with Lemon Basil Mayo
Veggie Burgers…some squirm at the name (Dad, I’m talking to you), but Veggie Burgers have come a long way from the mealy, flavorless, tofu patties of yore.

How to Cut a Watermelon
Happy National Watermelon Day! Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit. It’s hydrating, refreshing and sweet. It’s a large fruit and can easily get away from you, so in honor of this momentous occasion, I’m going to show you my favorite way to cut one up. Start off by standing on one end, stem side up,…
