This cheesy sauce recipe brings me back to Costa Rica! Dip some yuca fries in this sauce for a Caribbean treat.

This is a delicious, homemade vegan mayo recipe using olive brine instead of eggs! Creating your own plant-based mayo is a breeze with just a few essential tools and spare time. I used olive oil for this recipe, but you can also use avocado oil. You want the oil of choice to be mild in flavor. The olive brine and the olive oil, together, give this mayo a nice, mellow flavor that went well with my carrot sandwich. I love chipotle, but you can have fun with this and make it yours. There are endless flavor combinations for mayo. My next mayo will be a lemon dill!

Introducing the "Marinade of the Gods" made with persimmons, also known as the "Fruit of the Gods". This Hot Pepper Persimmon Sauce is not just a sauce; it's a versatile companion for your culinary adventures. Whether you're marinating, saucing, or dipping, this sauce is ready to elevate your holiday dishes. As fall takes off, it brings out these beautiful persimmons, once known as the "Fruits of the Gods", due to their divine or godly scientific Latin name, Diospyros, which means "divine fruit" or "fruit of Zeus". These sweet and rich-flavored fruits are a perfect match for the heat from Calabrian peppers, creating a unique and tantalizing flavor combination.

Tamarind paste is a staple in my house, but it isn’t always easy to find at the store, so I started making it from scratch. It takes a little effort and time, but it is well worth it. This recipe is part of my Tamarind Jerk Wingz and a bunch of other recipes I’ve created for social media. Hope you have fun making this! 

Tip: Grocery Outlet, stay with the hemp seeds on sale!! (1.5 pounds $9.99 for) I was shocked by the number of you who have shown interest in my Hemp Ceasar Dressing. This is a recipe we often turn to when we're out of our favorite store-bought dressing. I've never really written it down; I'm always just going with my gut. But today, I've put together a recipe that tastes great and provides a nice dose of nutrients from the hemp seeds. In the video, I forgot to add the vegan Worcestershire sauce, and it is needed. It adds a nice savory base to the sauce. 

I love using fruits and veggies when they are in season and I didn't want to miss out on peach 🍑 season! Hope you enjoy this sweet heat Peach Chipotle sauce this summer!
