Butter

Thankfully, gone are the days where you have to sit for hours with a wooden butter churn to make homemade butter unless you want to of course.

Thanks to technology, making your own homemade butter is super easy and fast. 

I’m all about fast, easy, and simple recipes that taste amazing using real food. Check out my homemade butter recipe that you can make in under 5 minutes here!

Honey

“Most” store-bought honey has been processed, pasteurized or adulterated.  While you may still get the sweet flavor, you won’t get the depth or the health benefits of using raw honey.

Fortunately, I’m a beekeeper and we have direct access to amazing honey. If you don’t raise your own bees or have access to local honey, you can buy raw or organic honey online.

Walnuts

I’ve always enjoyed baking and cooking with walnuts. They add a nice crunch and texture to my dish without overpowering the other flavors.

Walnuts are the first nut I reach for if I’m baking or making something sweet. 

About the Walnut From Epicurious

Alternate Name: English walnut 

Characteristics: The walnut is an extremely popular baking ingredient, and one of the few nuts you can still find in the shell (depending on the season). The ruffled flesh is relatively high in tannins, which give walnuts their slightly bitter, dry taste. (If tannins trigger migraines, avoid them, as well as pistachios, pecans, and cashews.) However, their astringency is what makes walnuts a good complement to sweeter flavors.

Using Raw Nuts

If you are using raw nuts you will want to toast the walnuts first before you make this nut butter recipe.

You can do so by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, spreading the walnuts on a single layer on a baking sheet, and baking in the oven for 15 minutes. 

Nuts Are Healthy

If you’re using whole, natural ingredients, then you’re also receiving the health benefits these ingredients have to offer. 

From the Mayo Clinic, eating nuts is good for your heart and helps lower bad cholesterol. 

Outside of being a quick and yummy snack, nuts are a great source of protein and contain 

• Unsaturated fats
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Fiber
• Vitamin E
• Plant sterols
• L-arginine

* Nuts are high in calories so consume in small quantities when eating for health
