Our Almond Biscotti from our cookie party last weekend was delicious! It was flavorful, crunchy and had just the right amount of sweetness. Ashley found the recipe from JoyofBaking and she followed it to a tee. Almond Biscotti: recipe adapted from Joy of Baking.com 1 c. almonds (whole) 1 tsp. baking powder 1/8tsp. salt 2 cups flour 3/4 cup sugar 3 large eggs 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. pure almond extract Preheat oven to 300 
This is such a simple recipe and it is perfect for having company! You can cook the green beans ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. When you are almost ready to serve them, take them out of the fridge and dress them and toss with almonds! So healthy, fresh and they add a lot of color to your table! Green Beans and Almonds all measurements are approximate and according to your tastes 1 lb. fresh, rinsed, 
Our final 2009 dinner included a fun new ingredient: Almond Oil! I used it to make these delicious green beans: Green Beans with Almonds 1 bag of frozen fresh green beans from Trader Joe’s 1 tbsp. almond oil 1/3 c. almonds Place dry almonds in a frying pan and let them cook until golden brown and toasted. Add frozen beans and almond oil. Sautee until beans are hot and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and Enjoy! 
I can’t even remember what we did Friday night, it seems like so long ago. But at the same time, the weekend flew by! Yesterday morning, we woke and headed straight outside to work on our to-do list. The list wasn’t too long and consisted of cleaning out the garage and cleaning up the front yard (getting rid of leaves we missed that were hidden by the snow!). I felt like we were in the book If You Give a I have been wanting to try these for a while now, and I decided they would be a perfect for gifts! I didn’t really have a plan when I started but I gathered lots of yummy materials. They included: dried mission figs California dates almonds peanuts nothing but banana (dried banana from Trader Joes) fresh banana unsweetened coconut dried berry mix (cranberries, cherries, blueberries) I followed a few ideas that I had read about and otherwise I just started blending 
Tonight was filled with visiting neighbors, wrapping presents and making a delicious dinner! Finger Lickin Healthy Chicken (Brady made up the name, hehe) 1/2 oats 1/4 sliced almonds 1/2 c. bread crumbs 1/3 c. spicy mustard 1/4 c. milk Trim the fat off a few pieces of organic natural chicken. Cut chicken into strips, dip strips into mustard/milk mixture then dip chicken into oat/almond/bread crumb mixture. Bake at 400 for 30 min. or until crunchy. *Next time I would add |
