Walnut Butter

[digmom1014]

Anyone reccomend a good walnut butter? Peanuts are off the list, and I don't like soy nut or sun butter.

Thanks

Never tried it, but I highly recommend almond butter if they don't bother you...

Sorry, almonds are out too but, I googled and found a site that sells walnut butter. Wish me luck, I already have a large collection of "butters" I do not like or can't tolerate.

I'll report back!

You can make it yourself! Its super easy!

1. Roast Walnuts-Layer on a cookie sheet and bake overnight (or for 8-10 hours) at the lowest temp your oven allows (usually 200)

2. Grind up roasted walnuts in food processor. Slowly drizzle in canola oil til gain nut butter texture desired. Add salt to your liking.

3. Enjoy!! :-)

Thanks for the recipe! I actually tried the almond butter at Whole Foods-they grind it themselves. NO reaction! Now if I just get Charlotte to have a store...

If you dont mind my asking....

you are allergic to peanuts or cannot tolerate them correct? what does your reaction to them look like?

i have been trying to figure out if i have a peanut allergy or if they simply dont sit well with me. if i eat peanut butter by itself or just with an apple it gives me horrible stomach pain and feelin like i have gas with no relief. if i eat it in baked goods it only makes me feel very full almost like a bloated gassy feeling. that is only kind of uncomfortable. do you think it is possible they just dont agree with me in large amounts?

sorry it isn't really your original topic but when i read your title i thought "maybe they'll know what i'm talking about!"

well thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts in general!
