CHET'S CHATTER

 

For most of my life, I was a peanut butter fan, and I

still like the stuff on occasion. But these days I

prefer almond and cashew butter over peanut butter.

Both are healthier choices because they don't receive

as much pesticide, herbicide, or fungicide, and both

are easy to make.

 

In today's almond butter special edition of this

week's living food issue, you're going to find several

recipes that will get your ole lips a smackin'.

 

And be sure to try the final recipe, which is my own

special concoction that's guaranteed to win raves

from every kid in your kitchen, no matter what his/her

age.

 

I'd like to run a cashew butter special edition one of

these days, too, so please send your favorite cashew

butter recipe with a simple cashew

 

Finally, in this Monday's " Good Deal Department, "

those of you who are into living foods as much as I am

will find a quality nut and seed grinder a valuable

addition to your kitchen, and if you don't have one

yet, you can still get a $34 model for free (after

rebate)at Publisher's Pipeline. Do so now at

Okay, let's move on to today's almond butter special.

TODAY'S RECIPES

 

 

ALLIE'S ALMOND BUTTER

YUMMY! That is almond butter in a nutshell. It is

very healthful, especially compared to peanut butter.

It is high in fat (so don't eat lots if you have

cancer, etc) but it is the good fat. So although you

shouldn't eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it

is a great way to splurge on a sweet treat that is

also good for you!

 

You can make it yourself by running almonds through

your Green Power or Champion juicer witn a little oil

to thin it out.

 

If you don't have a juicer, try a food processor. I've

heard that when you buy the " raw " almond butter at the

health food stores, it actually is raw. They supposedly

have new lids that vacuum seal on without heat, so you

still get some extra nutrients from these, but of course

it's healthier to make it yourself. I hope this helped!

 

Email me if you have any more questions!

KAREN'S ALMOND BUTTER

Almond butter is easy to make. Use raw almonds in a

blender or small grinder. Grind till you have a thick

paste. Add a little olive or other mild-tasting oil in

a thin stream till it reaches spreadable consistency.

It doesn't take much oil or time. Refrigerate almond

butter to keep it fresh.

 

A friend who did not want to use the oil tried a

little hot water instead and said it worked fine. I

never tried water myself, but it must be okay.

Almond butter is yummy! You can buy it at any natural

foods store or easily make your own.

 

A coffee or nut grinder works best to get a creamy

paste, but I just soak raw almonds overnight and then

grind them in a food processor with a bit of flax oil

and honey.

MICHELLE'S SIMPLE ALMOND BUTTER

If you have a food processor, it is very easy to make

your own almond butter. You just take a bag of almonds

and puree them in the food processor for about 4-5

minutes until it forms a very smooth consistency. I

like it better than peanut butter and it is higher in

calcium.

SILKY SMOOTH ALMOND BUTTER

Hi! ALmond butter is a spread exactly like peanut

butter, except that it is made with almonds. It can

be roasted or raw, creamy or crunchy. It is a bit

milder in flavor than peanut butter, but is just as

rich and yummy!

 

Try it on apples or in an almond butter and banana

sandwich!

 

Here is a recipe from the Whole Soy Cookbook. It works

best with a heavy duty blender or food processor.

 

2 cup almonds

1/2 cup soymilk

2 tsp vegetable oil of choice (I'd pick almond oil)

 

Grind almonds as fine as possible in a nut grinder,

blender or food processor. Slowly add the soymilk

until consistency becomes smooth. Add oil at the end

and blend a minute or two more.

 

Note: Almond butter may also be made easily with a

juicer or blender that is capable of doing this. Such

machines are the Champion jucier or the Vitamix

blender. Happy cooking!

CHET'S NIRVANA ALMOND BUTTER

My nirvana almond butter, if I do say so myself, is

just plain great, and I doubt that you'll find its

equal in any store this side of the pearly gates.

 

It's a snap to make, too.

 

Overnight, soak a cup of organic raisins in distilled

or filtered water.

 

Then process your almonds in your VitaMix, Green Power

or Champion juicer, or food processor. Instead of

adding oil or water, trickle in a bit of honey until

you reach the desired consistency.

 

Drink or discard the soak water from the organic

raisins and add the raisins to your almond butter.

You can leave them whole and simply stir them in,

or you can process to the consistency that rings

your bell.

 

This stuff is unbelievably good on Fuji or Granny

Smith apple slices. And if you like celery, try

decking a few stalks out with Nirvana Almond Butter.

Just be sure to make enough to share because nobody

in the family's going to let you get away with eating

it all yourself!
