Peanut Butter Recipe

We go through a lot of peanut butter and I like knowing what is in it. I usually buy roasted peanuts and natural honey (we like a little sweetness) in bulk from sprouts or the natural grocery sometimes from costco.

ingredients: 4 cups roasted peanuts (spanish peanuts have better oil content for butter)
                  2-4 TBS honey
                  4 TBS-1/4 cup peanut oil
                  Salt to taste*

Grind peanuts in food processor. Slowly add peanut oil and honey while grinding. The peanuts will begin to clump together. Taste for texture and flavor. Add more oil or honey as needed.
*If you buy unsalted peanuts you can choose to add salt to taste.

Bioallers nasal spray helps clear nasal passages and reduce inflamation
Belladona tablets help decrease mucous secrection
Histaminum hydrochloricum a homeopathic histamine used to treat allergies

The top three are my families most effective treatments.

Bioallers Tree pollen or Mold and dust tonic helps decrease sensitivity to allergens
Nettle tonic is an anti inflamatory and helps with sneezing and runny nose from allergies (tastes terrible)

Bread Recipe of the Month (April)

English Muffin Toasting Bread: King Arthur Flour

english muffin bread

I like both recipes which are very similar. The king arthur recipe uses milk instead of water. Which does add nutritional value and the texture is about the same. I double or triple my recipes to make 2-4 loaves of bread to freeze for the week.
