Gluten-free Grain-free Weekly Breads
these are nut based. id love to use grains and whatnot but my body sadly does not like their company hehehe.
Certainly. This is a recipe from Erica Kerwien That I adjusted just a little.
Basic Bread: 3/4 cup of nut butter (whatever your preference) 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 1/4 cup of blanched fine almond flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix until smooth and pour into a 3x7 bread pan. smooth the top and let it rest for a few minutes before placing it in the oven.
i used a standing mixer, but you could also do it by hand. i also used parchment paper to make it easier to get out of the pan.
Bake at 350F for 40min or until golden. test with a toothpick.
Blueberry Bread: 3/4 cashew butter 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup of coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 1 cup of blueberries
mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix in only half of your blueberries trying not to mash them up too much in the process. pour into a 3x7 pan and smooth the top. drop the remaining blueberries atop of the batter and press them slightly into the batter.
Bake at 350F for 50min test with a toothpick.

My changes to the original recipe was just adding more honey. Then for the blueberry bread i swapped out almond flour for coconut flour. i feel that coconut flour has a more softer flavor than almond flour.
Im not all that great at cooking/baking so any suggestions to improve is appreciated.
Oh i am very aware that you are 100% correct in both areas of efficiency and value!
However, I just really like the activity of searching for them at garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, used media stores, etc. if it takes me a while, so be it. ill just rewatch what i already have.
dvd and bluray are so goshdarn cheap that my wife and I thought to just buy everything we like watching physically. yeah we still have to rent new things every so often, but we generally just watch completed series or older movies.
we did an activity called ‘the vault’ where we identified ~800 movies/series that we could just live with forever. Now that the list was made its been the fun casual game of hunting for the best deal.
for instance, we like horror and we found all Blu-rays of the nightmare on elm street for like $15, all Halloween movies for ~$30, original star trek complete series $25.
I am predicting that our 800 works will cost somewhere around $2000? i winced at seeing that price, but spreading it over a few years of searching (we like trying to find our copies at local used stores) i think it isn’t too bad! plus its another activity for me and my wife to do.
Simply realizing that “wow we should just buy the stuff we watch on repeat” has been good for the monthly expenses. yeah we miss out on some exclusive stuff, but honestly there is just so much good shit out there from the past. i can certainly wait for that exclusive stuff to go on sale or finish up its finale so i can resub for a month to binge it.
certainly not laying out all the pros and cons of doing it, but i think the adventure of rediscovering physical media again has been showing is more pros than cons.
The post shows more devotion than many relationships found in my family tree.
Champions of Norrath on PS2. I played through the entire game with my dad and it was the most fun I ever him.my mother said he used to play video games all the time, but then stopped (having kids probably does this to many). So when he said he’d play the game with me i was very excited. i only wish i could have found the games sequel, return to arms, before heading off to college. that would have been a summer to remember.
i don’t know why he never shared his love of video games with either me or my sisters. some dads are weird like that. i bought him a series s for the holidays and while i don’t think he plays it, he enjoys watching his grandkids play.
certainly sounds like a fair explanation! don’t you just love how our brain works?
i had a similar instance. when i was younger ~10 i remember waking up scared by a nightmare around midnight. i decided i’d go to my sisters room because she was likely still up and i didn’t want to wake my parents.
her room was on the second floor so i had to quietly run in the dark and up the stairs as to not disturb my parents.
when i got to the steps i began hearing a crowd of people and with each step up the stairs it got louder and louder. i recall it being one of the loudest things i’ve ever heard. at the landing of the stairs it was so loud i collapsed onto the door handle and swing it open. then just like that the noise stopped and it was silent.
my sister was up watching a movie and looked over curious to why i made such a dramatic entrance. i don’t recall ever saying anything i just curled up on her floor watching a movie until i fell asleep.
i’m in my 30s and i still think about that event at least once a year and it still gets my heart pumping! thankfully it has never happened since.
I tend to use either almond or cashew.
Almond to me has a bit more nutty flavor whereas cashew is like a softer butter like flavor. Depending on what i’m making determines which i will choose.
for both of these loaves I used cashew butter.
funnily, i haven’t tried peanut butter. mainly because i feel the peanut flavor would be very strong. though i should try it some time as it tends to be a cheaper option compared to almond or cashew
I would really like to try something atypical like pistachio butter, but i have a feeling it would be quite spendy.
