Whats your favorite childhood sandwich? . . . Every Friday morning, my dad would set up the spit for the shawarma. It was always fresh and never lasted past 3:30. Fridays were a big deal, with people coming from all over the nation to get a taste. We had folks from Cali, Ohio, Florida, New York, and Chicago lining up for a sandwich from my dad’s shawarma. It was a sell-out every Friday, and for good reason. The layers of lamb and beef, covered in that unique tangy flavor, were only prepared once a week and never cooked twice. Nowadays, when people talk about my father’s shawarma, it’s like they’re talking about a legend. Sure, there are hundreds of other places that serve delicious sandwiches, but none of them compare to my dad’s. Just ask anyone who’s ever had one - they were truly something special. .

Who’s here for The sides! You can always rely on your girl for keeping it real! This catered event was for my son’s football team, hoping to fuel them for a big win the following day. As I have done in the past, I dream of distributing homemade food to random individuals on the streets. I have previously carried out this act of kindness in Campus Martius, where I handed out fresh bagels and cupcakes to strangers, and the experience was truly incredible. I look forward to the day when I can do this again.

This was funny but so real order your #buldak today! #FYI #Funny #Ramen

I must confess, dear friends! As a young girl, I shamelessly cheated during Ramadan by sneaking pickled turnips! 🤭🥒 This is a judgement zone make your confession here! ☝🏼 Recipe 1 beet 5 lb turnips *yes, you can also do this with cabbage instead of turnips and other vegetables, I love cauliflower. Wash and cut your veggies to your desired size. The smaller you cut the turnips the sooner they will pickle. I cut these ones especially small because I’m using them for sandwiches like falafel or Shawarma. Note: the smaller you cut your turnup the sooner they will turn soft. 2 c vinegar 1/4 c kosher salt 1/2 gallon water 2 c vinegar 1/4 c kosher salt 1/2 gallon water By adjusting the amount of ingredients, you can control the level of sourness and saltiness in your pickled turnips to suit your taste. For an added kick, consider including a jalapeño for some heat. It is crucial to ensure that all the turnips are fully submerged in water. A key point to remember is not to overdo it with the beets, as this can impact the shelf life of your pickled turnips. After filling your jars, allow them to sit on the counter for 3 to 5 days until the turnips have properly pickled. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them. For long-term storage, consider canning the pickled turnips and following proper protocols to ensure they last up to a year in the pantry. These flavorful pickled turnips are perfect for adding to Middle Eastern sandwiches or serving as a side dish with any Middle Eastern meal. #PickledTurnips #MiddleEasternFood #Arabic #FYP #Yummy #Delicious #Recipe #Pickling
