Breakfast

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com.  Really simple, really good:

Ingredients
1 cup almond flour from your friends at FUF
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
something to keep cooking surface from sticking

Directions: Preheat waffle iron.  Combine almond flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Grease preheated waffle iron.  Cook and serve immediately.

Goin' Nuts Since Feb 2011

Hello. My name is Sue and I've been goin' nuts for Fat Uncle Farms since February of 2011.

Being Northern California-raised, I'm rather fond of the open-air markets where farmers meet cooks and the lucky mouths that they feed. As a family, we frequented the Saratoga Farmers' Market, enjoying fresh produce, dried fruit and nuts, and my childhood favorite, kettle corn!

Little did I know that many years later, I'd find myself on the other side of the table, giving samples, greeting customers and sharing recipe ideas with friendly faces. "Everything almond!" we say, "Marzipan, almond butter, blistered almonds and more!"

I welcome you to join me in the next few weeks as we tell some almond history, debunk some nutty myths and inspire some almond goodness for your life.

If you're in the Santa Monica area, come visit me on the Promenade on Wednesdays from 8:30am-1:30pm!!
