Homemade Basic Essentials

Here are some of my favorite recipes for homemade basic essentials - from homemade nut butters to salad dressings to sauces and condiments.

For example, did you know that you can make your own peanut butter FROM SCRATCH in only 4 minutes? And that it's super easy to make the Olive Oil Bread Dip you get at Italian restaurants right at home?

These homemade basics are easy to make from scratch and are often cheaper, healthier, and more environmentally friendly to make at home than buy at the store.
