1/4 cup fresh oregano 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 4 teaspoons minced garlic 3 tsp sweet red wine (or add a bit of your favorite sweetener to offset flavors just slightly)

juice of ½ lime salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (to taste)

EASY HOMEMADE TERIYAKI SAUCE

STICKY HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

1/4 cup soy sauce (I like reduced sodium) 1/4 cup water 2-4 tablespoons rice vinegar (to taste) 4 tablespoons crushed pineapple 2 tablespoons pineapple juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon grated ginger 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4-5 tablespoons honey (to taste)

1/3 cup chicken stock 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/3 cup honey 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger 1/2 teaspoon hoisin sauce (optional) 1/2 tablespoon lime juice 2 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

In a small pot whisk soy sauce, water, and cornstarch together until smooth. Add vinegar, pineapple, garlic and ginger. Heat over medium-high heat until warm and then whisk in honey until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and whisk constantly until desired thickness is reached. Do not leave unattended as it thickens quickly once it gets boiling and will rapidly burn. Taste and adjust as desired. If too thick, thin with additional water to desired consistency. Sauce will thicken as it stands. If too thick, simply whisk in a few tablespoons of warm water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

CHIMICHURRI SAUCE 1/2 cup of olive oil ½ cup fresh cilantro 1/2 cup fresh parsley

Who doesn’t love a fun and easy DIY project? This carrot creation is designed for all ages and just requires a trip to your favorite craft store for supplies. Get creative and let your “art self” shine thru! Enjoy!

TOOLS • Scissors • Pen or pencil • Hot glue and glue gun

1. Use a pen or a pencil to sketch the outlines of your carrot on the canvas. You do not need to worry about the lines being visible, because you are going to cover them up. So even if you make a mistake, it is all right. Carrots are not perfect triangles in real life, so you do not need to worry about making a perfect triangle. 2. Once you have sketched the shape of the carrot on the canvas, you are ready to proceed to the main step in this project. Simply glue on all of the buttons to fill

the carrot shape in, making sure to cover the guidelines you drew. While filling in the outline of the carrot shape, make sure that it is full as possible without gaps or open spaces. Different shades of orange and shapes of button will give your artwork an interesting texture. 3. Once you have completed the steps with the buttons, take your green ribbon and cut it into a number of small pieces which are either identical in length, or relatively close in length. Create loops out of each of these pieces of ribbon, and hot glue them onto the canvas at the top of the carrot. You do not need to tie any knots; just use the glue to create the loops as you attach them to the canvas directly.
