Why You’ll Never Buy Tahini Again (Trust Me on This One!)

Hi foodie,

Lately, I’ve been on a DIY kick, making more from-scratch recipes that show how simple it is to create pantry staples at home. (If you missed my earlier thoughts on this, check out this previous newsletter where I talked about why I started sharing more of these kitchen basics!)

You can now find all my homemade favorites collected right here → DIY Recipes & Homemade Basics.

And this week’s star? 🥳 Tahini!
It’s honestly one of my all-time favorite ingredients , smooth, rich, and incredibly versatile. I use it in everything from hummus and salad dressings to desserts and smoothies. Once you make it yourself, you’ll never go back to store-bought.
