Frozen Pesto Starter
Say that it’s the end of summer and you have unwisely planted roughly 30 green basil plants and 30 purple basil plants in your garden. Now some of them didn’t make it because of transplant shock, the drought, or they got eaten by voles, slugs, or Japanese beetles, but that’s still a crap ton of basil. And…

Another DIY Spice Blend Round Up – Greek Seasoning, Prime Rib Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning
Well, I’m a bit overwhelmed with other projects in real life right now and the recipe I wanted to make for you guys is not really going well. It needs at least two more attempts before I get it to a place that’s blog worthy. But fear not, there will be a post. Regular readers…

Homemade Margarine, New and Improved
Some of you may remember when I posted about my margarine experiments in a Whatever Wednesday post. I’ve been using it for a while, but I wasn’t completely happy with it. The psyllium husk powder I used as an emulsifier didn’t melt well when I wanted to use it for things like lobster and there were gummy bits.…

Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and/or Pita Chips
Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and/or Pita Chips So you’re probably saying, ‘Denise, shouldn’t this be Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and Tortilla Chips, not Pita Chips’?

I used besan flour (very finely ground chickpeas) and got a very smooth tofu, but it was more like a silken tofu. When I fried it in sticks, trying to emulate panisee, the interior got soft and gooey, and…

DIY Curry Powder
Besides the fact that I have a spice obsession (as outlined in my post, WW Kitchen Stories: Rosemary or Denise’s Spice Issues) and it seems dumb to pay for blends when you already have all the stuff to make the blend, I’m getting to the point after the cumin scare that I’m going to try to make…

Aquafaba Vegan Salad Dressing
So with the corn allergy all of the vegan mayonnaise products are a big no-no for me, as canola is notoriously cross-contaminated with corn, and I started to react to my favorite product. I haven’t had a safe mayonnaise in over a year. When I saw the aquafaba experiments with mayo, it rang a bell…

DIY Chili Powder
If you’re like me (okay, probably not, as I have issues as outlined in my post, WW Kitchen Stories: Rosemary or Denise’s Spice Issues), you might have a few dried chiles kicking around. Or more than a few. Since I have so many, and since I was running low on chili powder, I started looking into…
