14. Homemade Vanilla Extract (Oprah magazine)-Rissa Keller


2 vanilla beans
4 ounces good-quality vodka
Directions
Place beans in a small, clean jar (such as the one they were sold in); beans may be folded in half but not split. Cover with vodka, and tightly seal jar.
Allow to steep at least 2 weeks or up to several years. If infused for only 2 to 3 weeks, vanilla vodka can be used in cocktails (such as Vanilla-Mint Cordials). The longer it sits, the more concentrated the vanilla flavor becomes. To remove seeds for cooking use at any point, take beans out of jar, cut off one end, and pour out seeds; return empty pod to jar to continue steeping.

15. Kobe's White Sauce Recipe- Amber Mills
The Real Deal

DELICOUS!!

1-1/4 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
a small pinch of cayenne pepper

Using a whisk, blend all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce has smoothed out. Refrigerate overnight to allow all of the flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

BIG WARNING !!! The sauce will NOT taste right if you don’t let it sit overnight. And do not substitute ketchup for the tomato paste! The water is needed to bring this to the right consistency.

Make sure to use Hellmans mayonnaise, all other brands will make the white sauce taste like mayonnaise. Light mayonnaise will ruin the flavor as well
