It's always more fun to DIY. Every week, we'll spare you a trip to the grocery store and show you how to make small batches of great foods at home.

The holiday season is officially over. Whether that makes you breathe a sigh of relief or mourn the spot on your wall where your advent calendar once hung, we could all probably benefit from fewer cookies and more greens in our diet.

Armed with a refrigerator full of spice mixes and vegetable spreads to help bring holiday leftovers back to life, you'll forget about those cookies altogether (until dessert, of course).
