Paleo-Palooza

So, I made a triad of paleo staples today.

I made homemade almond milk, and will NEVER prefer the packaged kind again!

For that I took a small empty PB jar and soaked about a cup to a cup and a half for raw almonds overnight, well, I was lazy and it was over tow nights. I drained the water, threw those into the blender, with a couple of dates, and blended until as smooth and white as could be. Then I strained it twice, through finer mesh the 2nd time. placing the milk in a mason jar in the fridge.

The pulp form the dates and almonds, it throw into my dehydrator in a fruit leather tray and dried all day. Once that was done, I throw the rough dry pulp into my food processor and spun it until it was like a whole flour, threw that in a zippy bag and into the freezer for baking or flour-less grain-less pancakes etc...I have seen the pulp made into flour by baking all day in a warm oven, but in the dehydrator, the oils do not become rancid.

Not wanting to wast a half dirty food processor, I ground up some more whole raw almonds and dates, and raw coconut oil in and created some sweet raw almond butter....You can do this with maple syrup too...I try hard not to make it to fatty, so mine is a bit chunky.

Then, unrelated, BUT not wanting to wash my food processor, when I could employ it one more time, I threw the crumbs form the remnants of ricecakes at the bottom of a bag into the processor with spices for crumbling on the top of the fish I'm baking tonight for supper...
and then I did up the dishes.

I am lazy. but because of that, one good food begets another, and I am not wasteful...each ingredient will live up to its fullest potential
