(i am) nuts

there is something really awesome about starting your day with a breakfast of homemade bread toasted and topped with vietnamese cinnamon and homemade almond butter.  yummmm

why am i telling you this?  because not only is it delicious, but also because i made almond butter for the first time yesterday and it was so quick and easy that it took me more time to clean the food processor.

so if you're interested, go get 2 cups of almonds (or whatever nut you like best) and put them in your food processor--like this:

then turn on the food processor for a minute or two and you'll get this:

scrape down the sides and let it run for another minute or two and then go ahead and put it in an airtight container (like so...):

i think we can all agree on two things--1, i'm obviously not a photographer, and 2--that's super simple.  right??!

i will add that i would use raw almonds next time--i used dry roasted with salt and it's a bit salty for my taste but that's all i had in the house.

so go ahead and grab your nuts and make something delicious...;)
