Vanilla Extract Recipe for the Illiterate

Allergy Test
Today at Dr. Cloninger’s I was tested for almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, pecans and a couple others that I can’t recall. I wasn’t expecting any big news; until now I thought I had grown out of all nut allergies except for cashews, pistachios, and pecans. It turns out I’m no longer allergic to pecans!
Who wants to make my first pecan pie?
Allergy test passed!
Mushroom and Potato Bourekas
My mom found this bourekas recipe and made it for us over the holiday weekend. So good! Bourekas are Turkish, apparently.
