Almond Milk Revisited

-
I have been making almond milk for years with a metal strainer. It was very time consuming. Every now and then I have heard of these nut bags to use to strain the milk, but put off buying one. 
Buy one! These things are so fast and leave no sentiments behind, and they give me so much more milk too. Buy Here If you make nut milks you will not regret the $6. They rinse easily and are tough!

Also, if you are interested, these glass milk jugs can also be bought at Amazon Here. They are a bit pricey, they run a little less than $5 a bottle/$60 for a case of 12. They are high quality canning jars from Italy with replaceable lids for when they wear out.

To make Almond Milk:
Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight.
Place almonds in blender with 4 cups of water, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 cup succunat or 4 dates. Sweetener is optional. Blend until smooth. Pour into nut bag over bowl and squeeze until all liquid is out. Store in glass container in refrigerator for up to 5-6 days.
 
Here is a wonderful recipe for a healthy quick breakfast:

Breakfast Smoothie
 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
 1/2 banana
 1/2 cup of frozen berries
 2 Tablespoons of flax seed meal
 2 Tablespoons of protein powder (your choice)
 squirt of vanila

 Blend in blender and enjoy! You can also add 1 cup of loosely packed greens for a green smoothie.

Art can be found in many forms. I always admire a person who can capture a sunset, or a mountain scene in a well crafted painting or photograph. I love a writer who can tell a good story where I fall in love with the characters in such a way, that I miss them when the story ends. But what is most beneficial to my soul is a preacher who can open up the scriptures and bring Jesus Christ to light my heart. Mike McKelvey is an artist preacher indeed. God has gifted him with a rare talent in crafting a sermon. Here is a link to a sermon he preached to First Baptist Church, Clinton, LA about two weeks ago. Mark 4:35-41 "A Clearer Picture of Jesus"

My Love for Mint

My Mint Garden I love mint! I love the smell of it. I love the taste of it and I love the calming affect it has on me when I crush a leaf between my fingers. It makes wonderful syrups to add into drinks and a soothing tea for stomach and nerves. The plant is easy to grow and comes in many varietes. Peppermint is still the best for medicinal purposes and spearmint for drinks or syrups. So easy to grow and so many uses! I have grown mints in large pots for years, dividing them every so often when they become root bound, thus creating more mint plants. I put my pots in a sunny location and water daily during the summer. Since I am using these plants in recipes, I make sure I use organic fertilizers to feed the plants. I harvest them as they grow and when they become very overgrown, I harvest a large amount to dry for teas. I dry in my oven at 100 degrees and store in glass jars. I dont't crush the leaves until I use them. Here are a few recipes that are my favorites. Tea for U
