For whatever reason, I’ve been fascinated with the idea of making my own condiments this year. Part of it is control, but the other part has been trying to make condiments which are healthier.

I’m a freely admitted control freak. Not in every way, but in a very important way. I want to know and control where my food comes from. The more I learn about the food industry and what they actually sell as “food”, the less and less I choose to spend my food dollars there. About […]
