There was a lot of kneading (making bread is a full body workout, ya'll), a lot of waiting, some serious through-the-oven-door watching, and then a whole bunch more impatient waiting. … Continue reading The Best Homemade Almond Butter

Hi, hi, hello! How has everyone enjoyed the holidays? We had a very busy weekend last week, and we're coming up on another weekend of traveling.
