Hi everyone.. I have a problem. I am trying to make a raw apple pie and it calls to grind 2 cups of almonds in a food processor. Well, I tried to do this and blew the safety mechanism on my Vitamix! Is there a way to grind nuts without a food processor? And speaking of food processors.. does anyone have any recommendations on one? thanks!

    oh shoot! i recently got rid of my coffee grinder! darn it. thanks for the tips.. 123, i tried w/my vitamix to blend them and it shorted out! (temporarily) ~ probably because I was grinding 2 cups worth?

    oh gosh, I would go nuts chopping 2 cups of nuts to a fine meal to make a crust! with a toddler underfoot I need ways to make my life easier not harder ;) I’ll have to revise the pie idea somehow.

    Luna blu: LOL, I didn’t realize I typed the “going nuts chopping nuts” thing. ;p

    stylistchick: good idea. I’m going to try that. hopefully i’ll get lucky.

    rawclaire: do you have a dry blade? or just use the one you make smoothies with? this is the 2nd time I’ve tripped the safety mechanism ( the 1st time it was with coconut meat)

    shgadwa: I don’t have a juicer yet :(

    michigan roman: I am totally going to try your McGuyver blender thing! great idea! thank you. and thank you sooo much for the advice on the food processors.

    123: I even have a commercial vita-mix and it happened. I love my vita-mix though. It mights just be the user having the problem here ;p
