How to make your own almond butter
| April 26, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Frugal Living, Natural Living |
We love almond butter, and we go through a lot of it. It’s not unheard of for us to go through more than 50 oz. in a week! I was first introduced to almond butter by my husband when we first started dating. One of his favorite snacks at the time was a sliced apple…
Almond Bliss Bars
| April 24, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Paleo |
These bars are a little like Almond Joy bars, only better, since they don’t have corn syrup, milk, soy, artificial flavors or as much sugar. I got the idea for them after making coconut butter last week. They have three simple ingredients (coconut, chocolate and almonds) and are very easy to make. With three chocolate…

This Paleo recipe is perfectly sweet but doesn’t use any refined sugar. The sweetness comes…

How to make your own coconut milk
| February 23, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Frugal Living, Natural Living, Organic |
Coconut milk doesn’t exist. At least not in nature. That’s something I didn’t realize until yesterday, when my husband was perusing the Tropical Traditions website (now we know why they don’t carry coconut milk). Since we don’t eat dairy, coconut milk is a mainstay in our household. We prefer the Thai Kitchen brand because it…
