Accidental Almond Butter
The other day I was grinding almonds to make almond flour for homemade cheese crackers. I had read that I needed to be care about how LONG I grind the almonds, as if you go too long the oils start to release and it will turn creamy instead of fluffy.
Well! I over did it. So, I just kept on-a-goin' and the result is this very yummy almond butter!

Homemade cheese crackers
I am a cracker fanatic. One of my favorite snacks (or, let's be honest, I sometimes have it for lunch!) is crackers and cheese. I just love it! So, I had to at least try this cheese cracker recipe! I found it on Kalyn's Kitchen website, which has tons of great low-glycemic recipes.This particular recipe is made with almond flour. Which makes it Gluten free and really quite good for you.
They turned out very good! Kalyn's recipe that I used is a small batch. What you see in the picture is about half of what I made. If you have enough almond flour, it would be so very easy to do a bigger batch.
Donn, Eli and I really like them. Isaac, not so much. Once I get some more almond flour I am definitely going to make more of these!

Crockpot Apple Butter
Home made Apple Butter...oh, wow, YUM! And it is so easy too!
I based my batch on this simple recipe from the Money Saving Mom website. 5 ingredients and a crockpot, now that is my kind of recipe!
What I did different: I only had 3 pounds of apples, so I halfed the recipe. I also didn't want to peel the apples, so I used my apple wedger to core and wedge the apples. Then I just tossed the apples in the crockpot added a smidge of vanilla and then set it....and forget it! ;) Before jarring the finished product, I threw it in the blender to make sure the peel wouldn't be noticed. The finished product is SO smooth!
It turned out sooOOO good! Next time I'll use a tad bit less sugar. The end product is super sweet and would still be delicious and a bit more healthy with less sugar.
Oh! And I can't forget the best part: free printable labels. I am a sucker for cute graphics and this is just perfect :)

No crust pizza
I made this no crust pizza the other night. There actually is a crust, but it is made of riced cauliflower. Sounds strange. It was different. But, I’d say it was good. Eli liked and ate his (shocking), Isaac did not (shocking). It wasn’t pot luck good, but I’ll make it again for the fam.
