Definitely trying this when I locate some almond flour! My grocery store doesn't carry it, I'll have to look around.

You can find almond flour at a lot of different health food stores (Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Trader Joes, etc), but its also online! I buy stuff from nutsinbulk.com, and they have great prices and bulk discounts!
