{Gluten-Free} White Gazpacho #MomsMeet #Sponsor

By
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moms Meet. All opinions are my own.

When the opportunity arose - through my association with Moms Meet - to try several varieties of Once Again Nut Butter, I was excited. We love nut butters in my household. We use almond butter in our Pad Thai-inspired Cookies; I made Homemade Peanut Butter Cups. We use nut butters in savories; we incorporate them into sweets. And, naturally, we use them to make nut butter and jam sandwiches!

I was excited to receive almond butter, sunflower seed butter, peanut butter, and cashew butter from Once Again Nut Butter. My Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf claimed the racoon mascot for himself!

About Once Again Nut Butter...
Once Again Nut Butter is an employee-owned business, based in New York. They have been manufacturing nut butters, seed butters, and honeys since 1976. All of the butters are certified gluten-free, non-GMO, organic, vegan, and kosher. Additionally, they adhere to Fair Trade and Sustainability standards for their all their farm partners and suppliers.

Though we tried them all, I decided to focus on - and share a recipe with - the almond butter. Its only ingredient is organic almonds. Can't beat that. The almonds are dry-roasted and milled to create a tasty, toothy butter that I had a hard time not eating straight from the jar with a spoon.

White Gazpacho

White gazpacho is a classic dish from Spain. Traditionally it's made with bread, almonds, grapes, and cucumbers. The bread acts as a thickener. This version is made with bread, blanched almonds, almond butter, and green grapes. I skipped the cucumber altogether because I didn't have any. Also, next time, my vampire husband asked to cut the garlic. Nonsense!


Ingredients makes 4 servings

  • 2 C gluten-free bread, crusts removed and cubed
  • 1 1/2 C vegetable stock
  • 2 C seedless organic green grapes + more for serving
  • 1/4 C Once Again Organic Almond Butter
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar + more for serving
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 C blanched slivered almonds + more for serving
  • 4 t thinly sliced lacinto kale for serving
  • fleur de sel for serving


Procedure
Place all ingredients together in the bowl of a food processor.  Blend until smooth. You can strain if you wish. I didn't. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

To serve, ladle into a shallow bowl and garnish with 1 T kale, a few grape slices, and slivered almonds. Sprinkle with fleur de sel. Drizzle with vinegar.


Stay tuned for more recipes using these throughout the next few weeks. It's been a pleasure to become acquainted with these products. Thankfully, I discovered that our local Whole Foods and Safeway both carry these. So, I know how to replenish my stash.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
