Blanched Almond Flour


Ok so I'll admit it, I love to cook. I just ordered almond flour through the mail! HA! But it's really hard to find "blanched" almond flour which makes super yummy GF high protein bread.

Elana's Pantry has some good GF recipes for breads which is what I plan on making! Stay tuned pictures and reviews to come!

The benefits of soaking nuts and seeds


Soaking nuts and seeds is an easy way to improve their digestibility and increase their nutritional value. Soaking them for as little as 4 hours can yield significant benefit. As I buy nuts I put them in a bowl with purified water and let them sit on the counter overnight. When I get up in the morning I rise them with fresh water which helps to get off any digestive inhibitors that have leached into the water. Honestly when I first starting do it, it seemed strange but when you start to understand from a nutritional aspect of WHY you're doing it, it makes sense to get the most out of what you buy and the effect it will have on your body.
