Edible D.I.Y.-ing

I think that "do-it-yourself" (DIY) when it comes to food can technically apply to anything you make from scratch (e.g., if you bake a cake from scratch rather than buying it ready-made, you are DIY-ing!)... but for some reason, I more strongly associate "DIY" and "food" with certain items we tend to buy with barely a second thought, like condiments. And yet, as is the case with just about anything we eat, making it yourself is so much better in so many ways, such as: you have control of what ingredients go in and it likely won't be nearly if at all "processed, so it's inherently better for you than many store-bought alternatives; it often ends up being cheaper; and almost without fail, it tastes better!

Recent edible DIY projects have included the simple yet wonderfully pleasing:

Whole grain dijon mustard

Cinnamon apple butter

Vanilla bean toasted coconut butter

Balsamic dijon vinaigrette(an even more simplified & basic version of this one)
