It all started with a bag of almonds.
Then, I ran out of almond butter.
So, I simply whipped out my food processor, cleaned out my old jar of nut butter and created a masterpiece.
Right in my very kitchen.
There’s a first time for everything.
And now, I’m on a Nut Butter kick.
Yum.
A spoonful or two to taste…and it was perfect.
Then, into a clean nut butter jar.
But simply without the gluten…
Enjoy!

I’m excited to announce that I will be speaking and performing a live cooking demo at the NYC Vegetarian Festival on April the 3rd here in Manhattan. Here is a snapshot of the day’s events including my cooking demo at 4:30PM and speaking panel at 5:00PM.
And, my newest soup creation, Vegan n’ Gluten-Free Soup was featured on Foodista.
Yummmmm looks great. I see flax in there is that sea salt? and Almonds is that the entire recipe? should I roast the Almonds first. Sorry I am quite new with the clean foods. I cannot find the recipe should I just wing it and see what happens.
Yes, those are flax seeds and sea salt. You can use ground flax seeds to make it easier for you. No apologies; I’m happy to help anytime. Have a great night!!
Kristin, Yeaa…Sounds good; my times are on the website…I’ll be on around 5ish and would love to see you! Hope all is well; enjoy your weekend and great to hear from you, as always.

oops, didn’t see that listed there, I only glanced and saw that you were around. My concert is at 3:00 so I don’t think I can get to it but maybe mom and I can see you before or after it. As always, love the site, so many good lookin’ things on here!
so Aims, I am going to be in NYC for a concert on the 3rd… looks like I might have to check this biz out, what time are you doing this?
Oh wow that dip recipe sounds SO good! I’ve been on a major homemade nut butter kick! It’s cheaper than buying it in the store and it’s so simple and delicious to make!
Thank you so much, Liz; great to hear from you! I agree, I love making homemade nut butters as they are so much cheaper than the store brands and you have complete control over the ingredients and possible cross-contamination.
Have a great day and thank you again.

Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to make nut butter ever since my parents gave me a food processor for my birthday. I’m out of town right now but as soon as I get home some nuts are gonna get chopped up good 🙂
Awesome! I never would have though to add tofu to make this–brilliant. I have a cousin who is gluten intolerant–I’ll have to keep this in mind.
Thank you, Jenna; great to hear from you. I love spreading this nut butter atop my roasted tofu…it’s delish and perfect for dipping or spreading…hope you enjoy it!
Have a great day.
Best,
Amie
Sounds delicious!
I can’t wait to be back in a kitchen with a food processor so that
I can make yummy things like this.
Thanks Cara; hope you enjoy this almond butter…I’m a food processor lover, hehe…I’m lovin’ making nut butters and hummus and pates with it…it’s so versatile and fun. Have a great day and thanks for your comment.
Best,
Amie
