I already screwed it up.

Yesterday was a busy-busy day, what with one child vomiting and the other one going to a birthday party. So, after they were in bed I promptly fell asleep instead of dutifully writing, as promised. It didn't take me long to mess it up, did it

I buy my almond meal pre-ground.

How do you like the amaranth flour? I'd have to buy online, so I am curious what you think before I do. :)

For cooking/baking, I actually find coconut oil to work better than coconut butter. I like the coconut butter to spread on toast (mixed with a little pumpkin and honey is DIVINE) or mix in hot cereals. I have used coconut butter with success in pre-mixed cookies, but sometimes it fails and I have NO idea why.

I'd love any recipes! I find egg pretty easy to work around, actually. :)

And, ummm, I had NO idea about toothpaste. Argh! Scary. I am going to have to research mine now.

As for coconut butter, here's my favorite thing in the world. Serious.

I eat it right out of the jar...it's so dangerously good. :)))

My favorite plain one is that brand as well:

They also have a cacoa coconut butter called "Cacao Bliss" but I have not tried that yet.

Finally, whats the brand of Stevia you use? I know I keep asking, sorry, but maybe now if I get it in writing I can order it online. :))

I do like the flavor of amaranth flour a lot, but it is one that MUST be mixed with at least two other flours. I made the mistake of using more of it than rice flour once and it was a sticky disaster! I would recommend buying a small bag to see what you think. :) (here's where I get mine)

If eggs aren't so bad then I do have some recipes to send you! Hopefully tomorrow.

I use Stevia Clear brand... (don't buy it on that sight but it's helpful to see what the bottle looks like).

My sister and I tried some GF cookies the other day that were sweetened with date paste-- don't know if you've tried that, but it gave a very rich, complex sweet flavor. Definitely something to play with!

I just ordered that Stevia off of amazon...thanks!! 8oz for $25 which is great if I end up liking it. :) If not, I'll mail it to you. ;)

I've been looking for date paste, actually. I want to play with it! :)

I promise that I *will* send you some recipes! I've been flailing about trying to follow what my to-do list tells me needs done. Damn list is too long. ;)

Let me know if you find some date paste-- I've not been able to find any, even online. I did find some recipes for making it, though, so I might resort to that.
