Almond Flour
Why almond flour? I am asked this question at least once a day. Almond flour is highly nutritious, easy to use and readily available. For those of us watching our glycemic index, almond flour is high in protein and low in sugars.
Unlike other alternatives to wheat flour, almond flour is moist and delicious. After having tested just about every gluten-free flour out there, I can save you a lot of time and hassle when I say that almond flour is far superior to other flours in terms of taste, nutrition and ease-of-use.
In all of my recipes I use blanched almond flour. They will not work with unblanched, in fact, they will be miserable failures, so I do not recommend even trying unblanched.
I avoid purchasing almond flour retail at all costs! It is more than $15 per pound in the grocery store. If you purchase it online it is generally less than half of that including shipping. Yes, still expensive, but packed with protein and flavor, so for me, worth the cost.
NOTE: One example of almond flour you will find in retail stores is Bob’s Red Mill. This product yields poor, runny results when used in my recipes; compared to other almond flours it has a very coarse texture. I do not recommend using Bob’s Red Mill almond flour in my recipes.
I store my almond flour in gallon or half-gallon glass mason jars

Salmon Jerky
This high protein snack is made by SeaBear
Expensive, but I think this high quality, nutritious food is worth it.
I keep it in the glove of my car for afternoons when I need a good hit of protein.
UPDATE: SeaBear Salmon Jerky now contains corn syrup solids.

The Perfect Rolling Pin
My sons and I decided to make gingerbread cookies this afternoon.
Thus we found ourselves at the store in search of the perfect rolling pin.
We ended up with a 1¼ inch dowel that was 48 inches long, then had it cut into 3 pieces. We took our dowel pieces home, sanded them and ended up with 3 perfect rolling pins. Our total cost: $6.38 (for dowel and sandpaper).
Each rolling pin took 10 minutes to make (hand sanding) and added up to just $2.13. On top of that, a fun activity.
