We
are so used to buy our food at the store that we don’t even think about making
it ourselves. Which is a shame, cause there are many perks to eating homemade
food: You save money, obviously, but you also eat tastier and healthier. Here are some ideas:
Peanut,
almond and other nut butters Commercial, processed peanut and almond butters
are not only expensive: Often, they are also unhealthy. For cheap, healthy and
delicious breakfasts and snacks, never buy them again at the store and,
instead, make them yourself! Want recipes ideas? That maple,
cinnamon and almond butter is so yummy. And check out this super
easy to make raw almond
butter, too. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much
more you can do! Browse the internet for inspiration, and experiment.
Granola
By buying oats and various nuts in bulk size at the market and making your own
granola, you’ll save tons of money. Plus, you’ll always have healthy snacks
handy! Start by following Buzzfeed’s
tutorial, then customize the recipe at will.
Spaghetti
sauce Meat sauce, rosé sauce, simple tomato sauce... you can make them all
yourself! And guess what? It is really easy. Here’s a tomato sauce
recipe so easy, even a child could do it. Care to get a little
fancier? Try Chef Ricardo’s spaghetti
sauce.
Jam
Whenever your favorite fruit is in season, buy it in large quantities and turn
it into delicious jam. Got a slow cooker? Try this strawberry
apple jam recipe. Or you can go for the classics and try Martha
Stewart’s raspberry jam
recipe.
Veggie
chips A mandolin slicer (or a knife and some patience!), canola oil and salt is
all you need to make your own potato chips. You can slice up regular potatoes,
or you can be adventurous and slice turnips, sweet potatoes or beets. Simply
fry them in canola oil or, for a healthier snack, slightly coat them with oil
and bake them in your oven on parchment.
