Cashew Butter


Cashew butter is a great nut butter to use as a base for other recipes. I rarely use it as a spread, but it also works well in that capacity.










Cashew Butter

4 cups cashews



Pour cashews in a food processor. 

Pulse 4-6 times.

Process until cashews are smooth and creamy.


Spoon in a glass jar.

Store in the refrigerator.

Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Orange Cranberry Water

Image
I used to love drinking orange juice with a splash or cranberry juice in it, but I no longer drink fruit juices as a general rule because of the high sugar content and lack of fiber. Sometimes, like this morning, I get a craving for that flavor combination. This water isn't as sweet or as strong, but it satisfies that craving. I like to drink infused water because it helps me keep my hydration up when I get bored with plain water. Since I was craving this this morning and decided to make it to quench my craving, I decided to share it! Orange Cranberry Water 2 oranges 1 cup frozen cranberries 40-60 ounces water Wash oranges. Slice into piece discarding the end pieces. Remove seeds. Gently massage orange slices over the top of a pitcher . Drop slices into the pitcher.  Add cranberries. Fill pitcher with water. Place in the refrigerator and all to infuse for several hours, or overnight. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Mango Smoothie

Image
I make many different varieties of smoothies. I like to play with the ingredients.  This  Mango Smoothie  is a rare smoothie where I don't include any berries.  I almost always include some type of greens. In this recipe, I use kale. It gives the smoothie a light greenish tint, which I find rather pretty but some might not.    I decided to make mango the star of this smoothie, which I enjoyed more than I expected.  I find this Mango Smoothie light and refreshing but quite filling. It makes enough for one large smoothie or two small smoothies.  Mango Smoothie 2 cups frozen mango ½ cup walnuts 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon amla powder (optional) ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon matcha powder (optional) 2 teaspoons fruit infused vinegar ½ cup chopped kale 1 small orange 1 small avocado 1 banana Place walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, amla, matcha, and vinegar in blender . Blend until becomes a thick chunky bu...

Spelt Biscuits

Image
I remember biscuits at both of my grandmother's houses. They had very different styles for making biscuits, but both had their appeal. What I remember most about them thinking back is how cozy it felt when my grandmas served biscuits, even making biscuits with them felt cozy. I don't think my biscuits have ever been as good as either of theirs, but sometimes I wonder if that's as much about nostalgia as technique. I will readily admit that I find rolling dough kind of soothing and far too often roll my dough a bit too thin for biscuits, as I did when I made these biscuits this morning. So while this variation of biscuits has little in common with the biscuits either of my grandmas made, they both inspired me to develop a biscuit recipe. So, Grammy Stamm and Granny Cooper, this one is in your honor! Spelt Biscuits   2 cups spelt flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds ½ cup hazelnut pulp ¾ cup hazelnut milk 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar     Preheat ...
