Freezer Storage for Ground Nuts

Freezer Storage for Ground Nuts

By Wardeh on August 11, 2008

When I grind nuts — whether fine, medium-fine, or coarse meal — I do several cups at a time and store the excess in the freezer for use during the coming week(s). For some time now, I have been using quart- or pint-size glass jars to store the ground nuts, instead of plastic zipper-seal bags. [...]

about 4 apples, sweet variety such as Fuji
handful of raw almonds
handful of raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 cup pure [...]

Raw Almonds — No Longer Raw

By Wardeh on September 10, 2007

I questioned [...]

Chocolate Almond Joy Ice Cream

By Wardeh on July 26, 2007

The coconut milk makes for a creamy ice cream, which is hard to come by in non-dairy frozen desserts. It also adds a delicious coconut flavor. Other non-dairy milks can be substituted, but the ice cream will be less creamy, more icy, and harder when placed in the freezer.
Chocolate Almond Joy Ice Cream
non-dairy, naturally [...]
