  Roasted Tomatillo Cilantro Salsa – $.21 per serving

  by Ande Truman on Aug 01, 2011 | 2 Comments

  One of my new favorite condiments is an incredibly light and fresh salsa made from tomatillos. A tomatillo is a small Mexican green fruit that’s wrapped around a paper-like husk. It’s not sweet, by the way, but tastes similar to green tomatoes with a little kick. You can find these at just about any grocery [...]

  “Asian Sauce” for Dummies

  by Ande Truman on Jul 27, 2011 | 3 Comments

  Disclaimer: If you are of Asian descent and I have shamed your particular country of origin by lumping together your country’s “sauce” with a rival country’s sauce… I apologize. “Asian Sauce” is about the vaguest term I could possibly come up with.

  Classic Tomato Sauce (AKA Italian Gravy) – $.51

  by Ande Truman on Jun 04, 2010 | 6 Comments

  For a few years now I have been on a search to find the best method of making tomato sauce. Everyone does it a little differently; I know a Jewish Italian woman that puts a carrot in the pot to draw out a little sweetness. Another cook cuts up the garlic in slices instead of [...]

  Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing – $.11

  by Ande Truman on Jan 26, 2010 | 1 Comment

  Hmmm, xanthan gum, caramel color, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium, and sulfiting agents… just some of the interesting ingredients found in some store bought balsamic vinaigrette dressings. For about 4 bucks you could buy a bottle of this kind of dressing from the store. But why would you? The balsamic dressing I make is a fraction of the [...]

  Garlic & Ginger Soy Dressing – $1.02 for 10+ servings

  by Ande Truman on Jan 20, 2010 | 1 Comment

  One of my favorite things to make is dressing. I call it dressing, but really, these types of sauces can be used for just about anything. You can use it as salad dressing, dipping sauce for whatever, or even sauteed with ingredients on the stove. The cool thing about making your own dressings is that [...]
