I am pleased to announce the launch of my newest venture- an holistic healthy living program I will be creating with my sister-in-law, Annabelle. It is in it’s infancy, so if you would like to witness us grow, please sign up!
You can read more about it and sign up at Annabelle’s blog Fluency’s Folly. You can also contact me directly and I’ll be happy to add you to the email list.
Big things are coming in 2012! I’ll tell you more soon. Right now I have to go empty out both of my bathrooms because my husband needs to remove both toilets and cut a hole in the wall. Yikes! Wish us luck!

Here is an easy non-dairy milk alternative. Use the best almonds you can find for the best flavor. California almonds are actually pasteurized, so they aren’t really raw, but unless you can purchase them directly from a farmer, that is your best option.
Soak 1 cup raw, whole almonds for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. They can soak longer, but make sure you change the water at least every 12 hours.
Peel the skins off them. This can take some time. I suggest doing this while watching tv or something.
Place the peeled almonds in the blender and add four cups of water. This should fill the blender almost to the top.
Blend till smooth. If your blender isn’t very powerful you may need to strain the milk, but soaking definitely helps it blend up nicely.
You can do the same thing with cashews, but you don’t need to peel them.
Lately, I have been a smoothie fiend. Have you noticed? I am starting to crave them now. I think I will make one as soon as I finish this post. Just wait til my chocolate Amazing Grass arrives. Then there will be no stopping me.
For anyone who needs some smoothie inspiration, here is a little flowchart you can print out and save. You may want to laminate it in case you forget to put the lid on your blender.

p.s. Never forget to put the lid on your blender. No good will come of it.
