Living Rawesome Day #86 Amaretti pg. 171 entertaining in the raw
October 19, 2009
I did it! I passed my test! I don’t know what grade I got, but I know I did good. I felt like I was celebrating tonight. I told Jason I am going to act like I am going to a party, and I will not be nervous. I showered and even straightened my hair for it. Well, really I did it because I was home all day with my sicky baby, Sabby. I had time to actually straighten my hair. I went into the test knowing that God put this in my heart to do what I am doing, so I was not nervous, but very focused. I think it was probably worth about 180 points (that is what I heard someone say). It was a long test. But I feel like the more I study the stronger my brain becomes, if that makes sense. I wasn’t as exhausted after studying so hard all week and having a 2 hour test. I will find out on Wednesday what my grade is.
I decided to make the amaretti today, I am going to bring it to the Potluck this Thursday night. It was quite easy to make, but I made the biggest boo boo, I used agave in it because I thought it said to use Maple Syrup but it really called for maple syrup powder:( I still need to order it. Foo.
They came out great though. I didn’t taste them, but the consistency was easy to work with. I made almond flour in the vitamix then put it in a bowl. I added all ingredients and mixed it up. It was near the consistency of pancake batter.
I used a tablespoon to make the cookies. I ended up making 20.
I put the mixture on the parchment paper, then flattened them with the measuring spoon.
They are in the dehydrator for 24 hours.
This is going to be a beautiful presentation. Pumpkin Jicama Risotto and mushrooms go on top of these amaretto flavored cookies. Gosh I love Matthew Kenney, his creations are so much fun. I never imagined putting a recipe like this together. His creations are so different from other recipes.
