Homemade Wine
This wine making recipe yields easy homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like, but my favorite is red. To complete this project, you will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon, and a rubber band. This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine and is excellent for cooking and drinking.
Bourbon Vanilla Crème Brûlée
This crème brûlée couldn't be easier especially with just four ingredients! This is not made the traditional method, but still turns out silky smooth, and it's ready faster than the oven method!
Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing
This tasteful tahini salad dressing is full of Middle Eastern flavors; lemon, garlic, red wine vinegar, and ginger give it a kick! It's easy to make in a blender and very versatile — add a bit less tamari, more lemon juice, and a pinch of ground mint if you prefer. People always ask me for this salad dressing recipe.
