Almond Milk
1 C almonds
3-4 C water
1 tsp vanilla (if vanilla flavor is desired)
Soak almonds overnight in enough water to cover them. (Note: This step is optional. Some people are irritated by an enzyme found in raw almonds. If your stomach is not irritated by raw almonds then you can skit this step.) Place almonds and water in a blender and starting on the lowest setting work your way up to the highest setting and allow to blend for about 1 minute. Pour contents of blender through a strainer bag into another container. (Strainer bags can easily be found at your local hardware store in the painting section for a couple of bucks. You’re looking for paint strainer bags, much less expensive than "nut milk straining bags” found at fancy food stores.) Squeeze the pulp in the bag to remove all of the delicious 'milk'. (Note: Save the pulp and make almond flour out of it.)
Transfer almond milk to a container and place in refrigerator. Use within 2-3 days. Note: For thicker, richer almond milk use less water and/or more almonds. For a lighter milk use more water or less almonds.
Almond Butter
3 C raw or roasted almonds
1 TBS coconut oil
1/2 tsp sea Salt
Place almonds in food processor and turn on. (Warning: The noise that initially hits your ears is hideous. You will think your food processor is breaking, but it's not. It's okay; almonds are just tough little nuts). Walk away... Seriously, this takes a little while so if you need to go do something; it's okay to walk away. If you stand there and watch it the entire time you may go crazy. Once almonds are in a liquid/paste like state add coconut oil and salt if desired. IMPORTANT NOTE: Making Almond butter is a patience game. The almonds go through many stages before they reach the coveted 'butter' stage. Those stages look as follows:
ground up to a fine flour and sticking to the sides/top of the food processor
starting to stick together and resemble a paste
clumped together and slowing moving as a blob through the food processor
formed into a ball and quickly moving around the food processor (this is the stage most peoplequit at and it's ok here, but nothing compared to the next stage... believe me, it's worth the wait.)
As the blender is running seemingly liquid. The heat and friction from the blender magicallytransforms and extracts the oils and goodness from the almonds and this state is where the 'liquidgold' is. Seriously, so good. Enjoy!
Bread
1.5 C almond flour (Can use leftover almond pulp 'flour' from making Almond milk)
2 TBS coconut flour
1/4 C flaxseed meal
1/4 tsp sea salt
1.5 tsp baking soda
5 eggs
1/4 C coconut oil (+ 2 TBS if using leftover almond pulp)
1 TBS coconut nectar
1 TBS coconut vinegar or lemon juice
Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add in wet ingredients and mix well until a clump free batter forms. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350° F for about 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan. Remove from pan and cool before serving.
Cauliflower Tortillas (for wraps/pizza crusts)
2 C packed cauliflower rice (see below)
2 eggs
Salt/pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Measure out cauliflower rice and place in kitchen towel or cheese cloth and squeeze all excess liquid out. (NOTE: The more liquid squeezed out the better) Place drained cauliflower rice, eggs, and salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until combined. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon tortilla mixture onto baking sheet and make small flat circles the size of desired tortillas. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and use spatula to flip over tortillas. Bake for another 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven when tortillas are soft and cooked through. At this point the tortillas can be stored in a sealed container in refrigerator until ready for use or finish the recipe immediately. Preheat skillet on stove to medium-high heat. Place tortillas in skillet one at a time and brown on both sides (this step is important as it bring out a nice flavor in the tortillas). Serve immediately with your favorite fillings.
Cauliflower Rice
3/4 head cauliflower (about 6 cups riced)
1/3 C minced onion
1 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Roughly chop cauliflower and place in food processor. (Note: Do not overfill the food processor, in order to properly 'rice' cauliflower it needs room) Pulse cauliflower in food processor until it is about the texture of rice. If necessary work in batches. Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Once oil is heated add onion and sauté until onion is soft and translucent. Add in riced cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10-20 minutes or until soft.
Parmesan Cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

½ tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Grapeseed Oil
Pinch of salt
2 TBS Agar Flakes (or ABOUT 1½ tsp agar powder)
Add all ingredients to a medium-size sauce pan. Very slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer 5 minutes or until agar is dissolved.
