GeorgiaWhy did I choose peanut butter? I mean other than why not? January 24th was National Peanut Butter Day! So why not? True statement. Very seldom do I have any idea what I'm going to make and more often than not I'll ask the hubs what he would like.. So when I said peanut butter, he said peanut butter frosting. So the story behind the peanut butter frosting. His grandmother was a huge sweets fan and could make a mean peanut butter frosting. I normally prefer shying away from trying to recreate a childhood memory because it never compares.. But.. Apparently this one did. So the frosting was spot on. The cupcakes are very light and airy.. Not dense in any way.. But they are also pretty crumbly.. The verdict? Frosting added to my saves. Cupcakes added, but will continue hunting for the perfect one. CammySo sorry Georgia, but you just forced me to make one of my all-time favorite lunchtime sandwiches! I've always been a fan of PBJs, but it really takes it up a notch when you exchange the J for Honey and Banana. If you decide to try this, make sure to spread the honey well, either into the peanut butter or onto the bread so it doesn't all drip out onto your plate! (Sometimes I learn from experience!) This is simple and healthy, especially when using a 6g net carb bread! MandyJenNikitaOk, Peanut Butter is such a favorite between Matt and myself that we bought many jumbo Sam's Club sized containers and shipped them to Bulgaria last year. The Bulgarians just don't understand what good peanut butter really is. Because of our early departure from Europe, we decided to give our unopened peanut butter containers to friends for further enjoyment. Just a luxury that Americans take for granted. Although it has a lot of sugar in it (depending on what brand you buy), it can be considered healthy for the fats and protein in the nut. These Peanut Butter Protein Balls have been in our weekly routine because Matt and Christopher are working hard to meet their goal of transforming their bodies to be something reminiscent of Fabio in his modeling years. JK...jk...they just want to look healthier and more fit. So protein has been in a lot of our food conversations lately. Now if I could just cut back on the baked goods.........LOL! Easy to make and yummy to eat! From easy to moderate.. From sweet to savory.. From the best sandwiches to protein balls. Peanut Butter is remarkably versatile.
Until next week, Georgia, Cammy, Mandy, Jen and Nikita
