Can I use regular flour if I don't have almond flour or meal?

[@ifoodreal]

Thank you for watching! I haven't tried it with regular flour, but I think it would work, just reduce to 1/2 cup :D

Great video gorgeous
I would love you to do a video on how you cook. And Carve your Thanksgiving Turkey..can you do this?

[@ifoodreal]

Thank you so much! The key with carving a turkey is to slice against the grain with sharp long knife, and make sure to not push on meat too hard.

[@carlosdanj]

@@ifoodreal thanks...any chance i can actually watch you do it?

[@ifoodreal]

Yes I actually have a video of me making my Instant Pot turkey breast and I slice it there: ruclips.net/video/YZy-pez4hcA/видео.html
