Almond Milk

 
I’ve had a number of responses to my recent posts on raw milk.  It’s exciting that so many people are interested in trying it.  But I also know that it is difficult to come by in many states.  And sometimes you need a substitute when baking, because even raw milk isn’t raw anymore if [...]
