How can I make my own natural food coloring?

Make a fruity ice punch ring at your holiday party
This makes a great addition to the punch bowl for your next gathering and won’t melt as fast as a bag of ice cubes, meaning your favourite drink will still pack a…punch!
Homemade hard cider: juice + time = booze
Turning sweet cider into hard cider, a refreshing adult beverage, is crazy-easy, requiring only a few tools and a bit of patience: you take raw juice, protect it from the environment, and wait.

You can totally make these chocolate marshmallow dreidel treats
I celebrated the first night of Hanukkah with my bestest buddies, both Jewish and gentile. Now most of you might remember that I am kitchen-challenged. So I was shocked when my friend Kimmy told me that she would be putting me in charge of making the chocolate dreidel treats a la freaking Martha Stewart.

Plus, it’s good for people who can’t have dairy because you don’t need milk. Vegans can swap out the butter and stock for their preferred substitute.

It’s pie season! Here’s how to make a basic fruit pie
Since it’s the holiday season (or, as I like to think of it, PIE season!). But I always thought it was too difficult to make yourself. A year or two ago I learned that, with a few shortcuts, pie is really easy to make. Here’s a recipe post on how to make a basic fruit pie.
