Last week I had the pleasure to attend a fun Back to School event hosted by MomTrends. As a networking event\/informal chat, the night included a discussion of hot trends, staying organized and balancing work and family life. I also learned an almond butter dip recipe while there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night included a fun talk by Amie Valpone of the Healthy Apple<\/a>, a site that focuses on \u2018clean\u2019 eating and gluten-free recipes. It was refreshing to hear Amie talk about nutrition.

With an emphasis on natural eating, whole foods and ingredients that are good for you and your body, Annie\u2019s reminders were especially important for the back-to-school lunch season.\u00a0

Looking through The Healthy Apple, I decided to try her recipe for Homemade Almond Butter<\/a>. I was really excited to test out this recipe since almond butter and jelly sandwiches have become a staple in my daughter\u2019s lunchbox. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amie\u2019s recipe was simple with an unexpected use of tofu. I just enhanced it by making my own almond butter, one of the ingredients in the dip. The best part of it all was that the final dip was absolutely delicious, gluten-free and vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
