Home Made everything

Hey all it's been a while. Wanted to update everyone on this homemade stuff.  Today I would like to talk about Almond Milk and Hummus. 

Everyone says on the internet that this is easy and if you have a good blender/food processor it is a simple task. Almond milk isn't as quick as the hummus due to the prep. However it is fun to make and taste pretty awesome.

I got a bag full of blanched almonds. soaked 1 cup full over night in water I have read you can go up to 2 days soaking.  After I soak them I tossed in blender added 3 and half parts of water. Blend for 45 seconds let it settle to the bottom and repeat. Sometimes I get a little silly and repeat that more than once because it's fun to watch all the bits settle.  Anyway, I only have one of those splash guard fine meshed screens it's bigger then what I have so I had to pour the blended mixture into a larger bowl.  Once it was all removed from the blender I pressed the ground almond into the strainer to get every last drop of yummy goodness I could, and set the almond pulp aside.  I took the large bowl of almond milk  and poured it back in the blend for the sole purpose to bottle it and there was a pour spout on the blender. not the bowl. I tasted it and it's really good I got about 4 cups If you want more add more water and thin it out. I want to make it a little thicker next time as well as adding a bit of sweetness it could use it.  Stay tuned and I'll have more recipes to share later on with this almond milk stuff.

Hummus wasn't as simple just because i didn't use the right tool to blend it.. However it tasted great. I ate it all prior to get photos or anything and i didn't really keep track of what i put in it. So if i can recreate it I'll post more on that.

Photography is going well, I think i might even make a company and get a legit name and id for it. Working on pulling all that together. Other then that the personal life is good mom got her 2nd knee and we are working through the healing process.

off to go make some waffles with coconut flour.. and make some almond flour from the pulp.. Take care!
