Comment on Homemade Einkorn Flour Tortillas by Kristin Marr

In reply to Katherine. Hey Katherine, A couple of tips: 1/ Roll them out thinner- thicker tortillas will break easier. 2/Add more hydration. If the flour wasn't weighed, it can be easy to add more flour than added. Adding a bit more hydration (liquid) can help. Homemade tortillas aren't as pliable as commercial ones, but they should still hold taco filling without breaking.

The tortillas fall apart after cooking, any tips?

Comment on Almond Banana Flourless Muffins (No Bowl Required, Blender Muffins, Gluten-Free) by Kristin Marr

In reply to Joanna Holding. Hey Joanna, I'm not sure why that happened. The muffins should not come out like that. I make them almost weekly and haven't ever experienced that, so I don't really know how to advise about what may have gone wrong. I don't recommend almond flour, as the recipes should work well with almond butter and almond flour would need a liquid to make the recipe work.

I followed the recipe to the letter but my muffins were very stodgy, not at all fluffy. I used my own homemade almond butter with nothing added to it but do wonder if the huge about of fat is the principal cause of the heavy result. Can I modify this recipe to substitute some of the almond butter for almond flour to produce a lighter, fluffier muffin please?

In reply to Mona. Hey Mona, I believe so. You could also add a small amount of baking soda to help with odors.

I’m looking for a fabric refresher to use when going on multiday hiking trips so my clothes smell at least a bit fresher than without. Do you think this could work for this purpose?

Comment on Homemade Shea Butter Lotion (Non Greasy Without Coconut Oil) by Kristin Marr

In reply to Lesley. Hey Lesley, Did you add arrowroot starch to help decrease the oiliness? You can add more oil, but that may make it more oily - what kind of oil did you use? Adding more oil won't effect the essential oils.

I made this and it’s absolutely solid. If I melt down and add more oil what will this do to the essential oils? Should I add more? Is there anything else I can add to it to make it less oily?

This has become my FAVORITE tea. I followed the recipe this morning and soooo delish. Only made two modifications: 1) I added a star annice to the water and I didn’t have any black tea so I used some wild berry tea bags. Still good!!
