I don't want to pay retail!

Have you ever heard of Almond flour/meal?? This is a type of flour made from, well, you guessed it-Almonds. Its perfect for adding in antioxidents, healthy fats, good protein and lowering carbs in your baked goods!! I love cooking with Almond flour..I, however, DO NOT like paying for it. I used to go to my local health food store to buy it, at nearly 12 DOLLARS a POUND, and it only comes in 16 oz. containers, talk about a nice ol' wack to the pocket book! Another thing I don't particularly like is that most almond flour you buy is from blanched almonds, which means the antioixident rich skin is taken off-that's No Bueno!
 I hated paying that much, figured I'd look online. The brand I like was still around $9.50 a pound.. and that didn't include shipping. OK... that's it! They MADE me do it.. enter in... Du-da-dada!!! Drum roll please...
LIZ'S ALMOND FLOUR.
I will just make my own! After all it's just ground up almonds! So.. a little trip down to the local Walmart and yes, a slight investment I've got what I need:

 Put the two together and you get this:



Go a little further and you get this:

100% all nutaral (ha ha), no sugar no nothing-but a tad bit of unsweetened almond milk, almond butter (you will pay $14 bucks for a jar for good stuff at the store...)

This is super easy, took me literally 10 minutes, and that includes getting the grinder out of the box.

1. Get your grinder out of the box (ya.. I went there)
2. rinse it and dry it out (completely!) as you always should with something bought new (you do that... right?? :D)
3. Throw in a handful of almonds and press down on the button, watch it do its magic!

You may have to scrape some off the sides of the grinder occasionally, and just repeat until you have the desired amount!

Be sure to not over-grind unless your wanting to make almond butter, if that's the case grind away, check it often though to see if you need to add just a bit of the almond milk and then grind again! You could add stevia or another sweetener if you must to give it a little sweeter taste.

Enjoy my lesson learned!!
