How to Make Your Own Popcorn Salt
Some things are easy to make, but most people don’t think about it. I make my own brown sugar all the time instead of buying it in the store. I can make it as light or as dark as I want it. Something even easier than that, the only requires one ingredient and a food…

Tahini Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
In my younger days I was a fan of the Quaker Chewy Granola Bar. I use to eat them all the time before I began to banish processed foods from the house. I wanted to find out how to make them myself. I tried out a few recipes – trying to get it right. It…
