    Crafting your own mustard is far from a high-flying kitchen feat. Just grab some mustard seeds and good quality dark ale. Want more heat? Use more brown mustard seeds than yellow ones.

    1/2 cup (125 mL) dark beer1/4 cup (60 mL) black mustard seeds1/4 cup (60 mL) yellow mustard seeds1/3 cup (80 mL) cider or balsamic vinegar3 Tbsp (45 mL) yellow mustard powder1 Tbsp (15 mL) honey or pure maple syrup1/2 tsp (2 mL) allspice1/2 tsp (2 mL) sea salt1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper

    Combine all ingredients in glass jar and secure lid. Let mixture sit at room temperature overnight to soften seeds and allow flavours to combine.

    Transfer mixture to food processor and process until seeds are coarsely ground and mixture thickens to desired consistency. If necessary, stop machine as you blend to wipe down the sides.

    Store in refrigerator for up to several months.

    Breakfast: Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bites

    Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the mornings. These ones get an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach. Using grated sweet potato ensures all of the ingredients cook evenly during the baking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire. Reheat and repeat While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F (160 C) will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
