Alright so have you been watching the Winter Olympics?! I’m a little frustrated with the time difference in that we don’t get to see much action live but we’ve been catching some events here and there. Even though I personally don’t partake in any fun winter sports, isn’t it just fun to rally behind these Olympic athletes that put so much hard work in to get to where they are?

I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t tear up when Chloe Kim won gold – not to mention completing a third run with an amazing score even after already securing gold. I think I would have teared up regardless of the winner.

Oh and Red Gerard, who happens to be the brother of Teighan from the food blog Half Baked Harvest (!!) was the first gold medalist of the 2018 Winter Olympics in the snowboard slopestyle. Crrazzyyy.

Then to watch Shaun White’s crazy amazing final run, pulling off the gold. (After his bad crash in New Zealand only a four months ago.)

I don’t know if I am getting emotional because I can empathize with their hard work or if Aunt Flo is coming into town soon…

Buttttt I’ve got a NEW homemade nut butter for you. I’m getting just a teeny tiny bit obsessed with these “freeze dried fruit” nut butter flavors. I haven’t been able to stop since the banana version.

So now we’ve got

Homemade Blueberry Almond Pecan Butter

It’s the most delightful blend. Think blueberry muffin in spreadable form.

And really the blueberry isn’t overpowering at all. Though I was secretly hoping it would turn the nut butter more of a blue color.

what you need

almonds
pecans
freeze dried blueberries
oil

(I used macadamia oil but coconut or sunflower also works. It just helps speed up the blending but isn’t 100% necessary)

Then you just let your BA food processor do it’s thang. I use the Breville 12 Cup Sous Chef and highly recommend it. We got it as a wedding gift <3

And if you haven’t tried making your own nut butter yet, ddoooo it. It’s so easy and fun! The jars definitely don’t last long around here because I put it on everything and also use the various flavors in everything from bars to balls.

Of course sometimes I get lazy and buy different nut butters or fun flavors from brands I love. But making your own at home is also great for homemade gift giving 🙂

Let me know if you try this recipe! Leave a comment and/or review here so I can see what you think!
