| Just look at those yummy ingredients! You know chocolate & bananas & peanuts are just naturals together. Now add in raspberries! |
But her 5 wee little ones did not have such wee little appetites. And she wanted them to have happy-tites (I know, that's a silly play on words). Anyhow, this mama knew her nutrition and she knew that peanuts and peanut butter were nutritionally dense and sound for her wee little ones. Oops! Just gotta get out of that silly wee mode.
Well, the kids loved cookies. So we had peanut butter cookies by the hundreds. They loved cake, so we had peanut butter cake and peanut butter frosting. We had peanut butter chocolate fudge and most any other goodie I could come up with. And don't forget all five of those lunch boxes. You got it..... peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter 'n jelly. Peanut butter 'n bananas. Peanut butter 'n raisins. Peanut butter 'n honey. Can you imagine the delight that would have shown on their little faces if I had HAD PB CRAVE VARIETIES?????
Actually, this starving, energy craving mama had a favorite pick-up of her own, and that was a plain banana sliced length-wise down the middle and slathered with peanut butter then sandwiched back together - NO BREAD. Try it sometime and you'll see the plus of that snack; and if you fix it with PB Crave's various flavors, you'll be in for a real treat.
Today, I needed an afternoon pick-me-up and I grabbed a slice of whole wheat bread, slathered it with PB Crave Choco Choco, and then topped it with orange marmalade. Talk about yummy! That touch of chocolate and orange together was simply wonderful! I had to restrain myself not to make another!
Now, let's talk specifically about PB Crave jars of peanut butter (that's what the PB stands for - makes sense, don't you think). Since the peanut butter is natural and doesn't have all the stabilizers that others on the market do, you'll find it will have oil float to the top (just like in the good-ol-days). Well, you simply take a knife or stiff spatula and give it a twist and a twirl and an up 'n a down. Then you're ready to go. I wish we didn't have to stir it, but that is a small price to pay for natural peanut butter.
Cost: Yes, it does cost more than what you will find in your main line grocery stores for "brand name" or "store brand." But it isn't that much more. It is located in Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and Fresh Market grocery stores and you can purchase it online at http://pbcrave.com.
I'm thinking I might make some brownies this weekend. I like frosting on mine. I don't really have a recipe. I usually just cook a basic sugar, cocoa, butter, evaporated milk base until it is syrupy, cool it a bit, and then beat in confectioner's sugar. Sometimes I add a dollop or so of peanut butter. If I do, I don't use quite as much butter. I'm thinking I might separate out the "frosting" and add a different flavor peanut butter to each. What do you think?
