What's up Lover Dovers?!?!

I know it's been a few, but Mama Daily Dubes has had a LOT cookin' in her kitchen!  (All to YOUR benefit, of course!) ....

While I wish I could blog up a storm right here, right now, I only have a small window of time to bang one out for ya reeeeeaaaaal quick! ....BAM!

Let's get down to the dirty business then, shall we?!? ...(business is not so dirty, but inserting"dirty" gave it a nice jingle).

<ENTER>

MY HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK!

HECK-to-tha-YEAH!!! 

Truth be told, I haven't tried it yet, but it smells YUMMY in MY TUMMY! I cannot WAIT to try it in my Banana Blends! Now, you might wonder why I decided to try my hand at homemade Almond Milk, and the primary reason behind this decision, is due to the fact that: 

the packaged almond milk I regularly buy at the grocery store contains many ingredients, some of which I cannot pronounce,

which is totally against my religion---Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, HOWEVER, I am a MAJOR STICKLER when it comes to buying QUALITY foods! 

• I usually stick with whole, unprocessed, & unrefined, and in the event I reach for a packaged food, there must be as few ingredients as possible, and they must be pronounceable, whole, & healthy to boot!
• IF there are a LOT of ingredients, and you can't understand a lick of what's listed, DROP IT & RUN the other way as fast as you can! Skedaddle! Because...

When in doubt...Keep things REAL, My Friends!

So...I went ahead and broke out the dreaded <sigh> food processor that takes eons to clean (I'm hoping to get my hands on a shiny new VITAMIX soon- cough cough-Birthday gift?!), but it was WELL WORTH it, because now I have myself some

PURE + RAW + HEALTHY Milk!

Here is how it's done, People!

1. Soak 9 oz. RAW, unprocessed almonds in 6 cups of water for 18-24 hours in refrigerator.
2. Pour water + almonds into food processor
3. Optional: Add a little Agave and Vanilla Extract to sweeten (1 tsp-ish)
4. Blend for 90 seconds....annddddddddd

Voila!

You should have yourself some frothy, fresh Almond Milk!!! Yes, It's THAT EASY!!!

Aight, I've got to run! ...There's so much more to come in the next few days!!! GET. EXCITED!

WARM HUGS & KISSES!
