    Easy Homemade Tahini

    I love this homemade tahini recipe and like any other nuts or seed butter, it's super easy to make at home. But I know, trust me, it's even easier to buy it already made (sigh!) in a jar.

    Not only is homemade way cheaper but it's fresher (the oils haven't yet gone rancid) which means it's also healthier. In addition, knowing how to whip up your own at home can make life a lot easier when your recipe calls for it and you are all out! Just keep raw sesame seeds on hand at home in the pantry or freezer.


    Homemade Tahini Recipe | unhulled Sesame Seeds | nut-free sauce #vegan #purekitchenblog

    The photos make the tahini look like almond butter, right? Well that's partially because I used unhulled sesame seeds. You can use hulled, which most store bought tahini is made from, but unhulled is easier to find and the taste/flavor is almost the same.

    Have you tried my Chickpea Brownies made with homemade tahini?

    The photos above demonstrate just how simple and easy it is to make a batch of it at home. And really all you need is one or two ingredients. And the most difficult part is literally toasting the seeds! And we all know at this point in our cooking careers that toasting nuts and seeds really isn't hard at all. Just alway remember: 350 Degrees F | 8 minutes. That's my usual nut-toasting quick go-to instructions. But these seeds took a tad longer. I cooked them for about 15 minutes instead of the usual 8-10.

    From there, just throw them into your good old food processor. If you don't already have one of these, please get one. I use this and my Vitamix every single day. At least one if not both of them. To lead a healthy plant-based (or whole foods) diet, you need good equipment.

    These items are so easy to clean, too, as long as you rinse them off or soak them directly after using them. It's when the sauce or ingredients sit in the bowl for a long time that makes them hard to clean. You don't even need a dishwasher. Much easier to clean than a frying pan.

    Now go ahead and bookmark this recipe - it will come in hand when you're in a pinch at home and need some tahini for a divine salad dressing or dipping sauce.

    Easy Homemade Tahini Recipe

    Yields approx 8oz or 1 cup

    INGREDIENTS

    3. Blend on high for about 1 minute. Scrape sides. Blend again until smooth, about one more minute. Add sea salt. Pulse a few times to mix up.

    What a fun collaboration with @veggiesdontbite a few weeks ago. We teamed up (in person) to create a bloody Maria recipe. It’s truly our own unique fun take on the traditional Bloody Mary. I’m not a huge fan of hard alcohol but I can do some tequila. And one cool thing about this recipe is you don’t need any alcohol. It’s THAT GOOD! And you really won’t miss it. Thanks for a fun day @veggiesdontbite link in my bio for full recipe on the blog right now.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
