Almond Butter

Have you ever tried Almond butter - instead of peanut butter?  It is wonderful.  I think it is much better than peanut butter but it is a little expensive.

I love almond butter! It's so much healthier that peanut butter, but I agree, it's more expensive. I am lucky that my sons are all grown and out of the house, so I can buy things like this for myself. I still love my peanut butter too, but almond butter and rasperry jam is a great sandwich. I make sure I buy the kind that has the outer husk of the almond removed (in the processing) because I found out the other kind really bothered my stomach. It's NOT like eating almonds alone, those don't cause me any problems, but when they are processed with the 'skins' on, it makes phytic acid and I am headed for 'heartburn city'.
