I need some new recipes & a peanut butter question please

[snowposy]

Hello all, I'm looking for a recipe book and though there a quite a few to choose from I wonder if any of you could recommend one for me? :)

I also have a question about peanut butter. If I make my own would it be acceptable? I ask this because I always hear about almond and cashew butter but never peanut butter. :confused:

Today is the start of my second week and so far I've been mostly raw but a few days I've been about 80 or 90%. My main reason for this is because I just can't find the items that I need for making crackers, etc.. Those items are on order and I'm just waiting for them to arrive now, hopefully when they do I'll be able to be 100%. :cool:

TIA
Keep smiling :D

For the book Alissa's Living on Live Food

for peanut butter, the reason is because it isn't raw, and also it is very difficult to find raw peanuts, and if you do they often have aflatoxin which is a very toxic virus that peanuts get.

other foods can get this too, but raw peanuts are very highly suseptable to this toxin.

also, cashew butter is so tasty and almond butter is too.

I pesonally make almond butter and love it, the very most, also macademia nut butter is great too, just a tad expensive.

yeah, i've looked on many occasions for raw peanuts and haven't found any yet. kind of frustrating. :(

I found some raw peanuts recently at a little produce place by my apartment. When I got home, I was so excited and popped one in my mouth and BLECHH! It was so terrible! I couldn't believe that my favorite nut tasted so badly raw :eek: I had previously wondered why I couldn't find any raw recipes that called for raw peanuts, and this answered my question! :p
