Hummus At Home
If you’re like me, you buy a lot of hummus. Besides being expensive, store-bought hummus also doesn’t let you choose the ingredients to include or exclude. This is all ludicrous, because it is sickeningly easy to make.

Make Your Own Pitas!
Is there anything pita bread can’t do? You can fill them with delicious toppings, or make pizzas on them. Turn them into snack chips, or just eat them the way they are. Sure, pitas are more than readily available in stores, but a fresh pita straight from the oven is on an entire other level.

Risotto has an almost mythical status. You might think that you can only get a good risotto from a restaurant. In reality, risotto is actually pretty easy to cook, and after a few times you’ll be a pro.
Oven-baked Fries
When I made my Pork Au Jus, I was looking for something to eat with it. It just so happened that I had a bag of potatoes, so I thought fries would be great. Getting nice crispy fries from the oven can be difficult, but these fries come out great every time.
