DIY Organic Food ColouringI was chatting with a friend recently about how his kids are allergic to red food dye. It made me do some research, where I found that it contains plenty of chemicals, including petroleum. I decided to make my own food colouring from organic fruits and vegetables, and it was a total success!
Sweet Pepper RelishWhen I serve this relish my guests agree that it is the best relish they have ever tasted. It is not your typical pickle relish, but is made from sweet peppers and onions. It can be made entirely from green peppers, but the sweet red pepper gives it a beautiful appearance. I use a mini food processor to chop the onions. It is so easy.
Peachy SalsaA refreshing side dish for fish, chicken and other meats. Try some on burritos, tacos or with chips.
Homemade Strawberry JellyI was trying to come up with a homemade version of jelly that would make the PBJ's in our house a little healthier. This took only a few minutes, no cooking and only 2 ingredients.
Avocado MayonnaiseThis is an easy, healthy substitute for traditional mayonnaise. You might find that you like it even better. It also makes a good dip.
Homemade Asian CondimentsWhy purchase these four standard condiments when you can make them fresh at home? They are so easy to make that you're going to have an "I could have had a V-8" slap your forehead moment.
Flavored MayonnaiseBetween sandwiches and burgers, a dressing for fish, poultry or potatoes, the sky is the limit for what to use these for.
Flavored Cream CheeseI get bored with the same old plain cream cheese and the store bought flavors are not usually very tasty (or very limited choice) so I did some searching for different recipes to make at home.
Berry Freezer JamMy husband and I went to a farm not far from where we live and picked blackberries for about an hour. As youngsters we both remember picking wild berries with our family on the side of the road.
