Almond Biscuits

Before taking the Paleo plunge, I often made crockpot soups and focicca (I used to make double batch and freeze whatever I was not using for the evening). It was nice, easy way of enjoying a dinner.

I realize that all Paleo recipes does not include Yeast. Plus I do not have any yeast in my refridgator, and regarding my ignorance, I assume it is somehow, a gluten? The focicca recipe is out of the window if it has white sugar, yeast, and wheat flour. I could switch the ingredients to Paleo friendly ingredients, but how do you replace yeast?

I decided, it's time to start experimenting with different breads for crockpot meals. First, the almond biscuits.

This is a winner if you love the nutty texture. I would not suggest this to be dipped in soups or gravy: too nutty to absorb that flavor from the main dish. It is great on its own.

MEAT LOVER: Give me another one.
GREENARIE: I can't stop eating! It's addicting!
