How to Make Homemade Raw Almond Butter

How to Make Homemade Raw Almond Butter by Carmella Soleil

Mmmmm... Almond butter! Such divinely yummy stuff!Since we virtually never eat bread, we don't have many occasions to use it as a spread, but we do like it sometimes as a dessert treat on rice cakes with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Almond butter can also come in super handy for making a last minute Almond Milk; just blend one…

Raw in a Flash Video: Almonnaise by Carmella Soleil

It's been quite a challenging week for us. For one thing the weather has really turned and we can feel the undeniable promise of winter coming. In our case this means we have to get ready to move, as we won't be able to stay comfortably in the trailer where we are for much longer than another 5 or 6 weeks. My fingers are actually so…
