I love this recipe! It can be used as a sauce for grilled meats, a dressing for salads or steamed vegetables, or as a marinade for tofu or other lean proteins. You will always find it in my refrigerator.

Guacamole or sour cream? Sour cream or guacamole? Why choose? My avocado "cream" combines the flavor of both--with a boost of protein!

Use this spice blend on any grilled meat or fish: try pork, steak, shrimp, or even salmon! You will want to make a big batch of the spice rub to always have some on hand.

This is delicious. After you make it the first time, you may decide to make it in large batches. Make sure you have a BIG pot if you do. I buy a #10 can of tomato sauce (106 ounces), which makes enough for 26 pizzas. I freeze small batches of 1 or 2 pizzas worth in ziplock sandwich baggies. When you make that big a batch, the oil is 1.5 cups, the butter is 1 cup + 5 tbsp; the onions is 6.5 cups; the garlic is 13 cloves; the tomato sauce is a #10 can, or 106 ounces; the tomato paste is 13 6 ounce cans (or try to find a similar amount out of a #10 can if you can freeze the leftover); the parmesan cheese is 1.5 cups plus 2 tbsp; the dried basil is 1/4 cup, the oregano is 1/8th cup; the salt is 2 tbsp; sugar is 3 tbsp; pepper is 1 tbsp; fennel seed is 1/4 cup.

Making homemade peanut butter is easy, as long as you have a good blender or food processor.

Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats.

This super-simple vinaigrette is delicious on salads or drizzled over cooked vegetables or grilled fish.
