Sauces, Spices, & Other Basics

I think it’s important to avoid condiments and sauces that are packed with toxic ingredients, in the cases where you a) eat a lot of them, and b) can easily make something that tastes just as good or better.

So for things like peanut butter, jams, hummus, spice mixes (like taco seasoning), simple syrups (for coffee and cocktails), and more, I eat these a lot and I’d rather know EXACTLY what I’m putting into my body.  And let’s face it, the homemade stuff just tastes better!  So here are some of the “basics” that should be in your arsenal.
