How to Make Fluffy Hummus
Did you ever made hummus at home, and you simply couldn’t make it so fluffy as the one from the store? I know, I understand you, I’ve been there way too many times. I would make hummus at home, it was delicious but my husband didn’t really like it because it was not as fluffy and airy like the one from the supermarket. Today, I decided to make again, to see what I’m doing wrong, or what I didn’t add to my hummus, and to stop buying it, since I can easily make it at home.

How To: 5-minute Vegan Mayonnaise
I like this mayonnaise very much because it takes only 5 minutes to make and it’s very good. Usually, we don’t eat mayonnaise, only when I’m making a salad, like mushroom or eggplant salad which is very rare. My mother in law showed me how she makes this mayonnaise. She also makes the traditional mayonnaise very easy, she puts all the ingredients in the blender jar and blends for 5 minutes and it’s done. Ingredients: 50 ml of unsweetened soy milk 100 ml of grapeseed or sunflower oil salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of mustard (optional) If you use 50 ml of soy milk,…
