If I actually knew what nutella “chocolate hazelnut spread” tasted like I’d probably never want to make my own (from what I’m told)! Food allergies do that, #annoying, but it also provides for some creativity. If you’re nut-free (and peanut-free) like me, the whole DIY thing is kind of necessary. Well, my back to the 1800s make everything from scratch thaaang may have been short lived (#gradschoolproblems), now I’m on break again, and the stars have aligned! I use these in my 4-ingredient eggplant balls, to bind together some veggie burgers, and sometimes just sprinkled into a salad for a whole grain crunch!ģ.

Show us your best DIY recipe for keeping cupboards, fridge or freezer stocked with healthy basics.” This months theme is one of my favorites: DIY Kitchen Essentials… Here’s how it works: Every month there’s a theme and group of health-minded bloggers share recipes reflecting that theme. If you haven’t seen my past Recipe Redux posts ( here and here), you should totally check ‘em out! This is only my third month participating in Recipe Redux, but I have to say it inspires me! (until my one summer class starts, but we’ll ignore that!) I have so much I want to tell you right now I don’t know where to start!!ġ. Plus, it’s free of the top 8 food allergens, making it a great nut-free* Nutella alternative!
