1921. FMF Mini Muffins

FMF is the acronym for freshly milled flour. Because of the processing conventional white flour goes through, I cannot in clear conscience claim that FMF recipes will work in exactly the same way with mass produced flour. 

1920. Mexican Skillet Casserole

This was a hearty one-pan meal that the entire family enjoyed. All elements are there: meat, rice, vegetables, all very well seasoned. 

1919. Hot sauce

While online grocery shopping the other day, I accidentally ended up with a bagful of green chili. The recipe I had gotten it for required only two chilies, so I decided to process the rest into a tobasco alternative of homemade hot sauce. 

1918. Date Molasses Chickpea Oat Cookies

My sister bought a small packet of delicious but overpriced cookies, which had the list of ingredients clearly printed on the packet. This led me to trying my hand at replicating it, using experience as educated guesses as to the measurements and method. 

1917. Qalya Mosul

There was an Iraqi cultural fair not long also and it was there that I tasted my first qalya. It is a very basic, very delicious dish hailing from Mosul, in northern Iraq. The main ingredients are lamb fat, boneless lamb chunks, onion, and a dash of date molasses.
