I shared a photo the other day on Facebook of my new favorite snack I whipped up — crispy walnuts covered in homemade caramel sauce and sprinkled with sea salt. This is so simple, I wasn’t even planning on posting a recipe for it, but since several readers asked, here it is! The Nuts…
How to Make Your Own Date Sugar
Date sugar is a marvelous alternative sweetener. It’s not even really a “sugar” in the sense that it was derived from something and processed into concentrated sweetness. Wanna know what it actually is? Cooked and ground-up dates! Really, that’s it. And dates are just an all-around awesome food. High in carbohydrates, they’re a great thing…

How to Make Ghee in a Crock Pot
