Hey all!  Just wanted to give ya’ll a heads up – we probably, maybe, almost definitely, most likely, perhaps, somewhat potentially, most certainly, quite possibly could be featured on the TODAY SHOW tomorrow morning!  That’s right.  You read me correctly.  The TODAY SHOW!!!!  Wednesday, March 10th at 10:00 am!  Why exactly?  You ask??  Well…

I was recently contacted by Prevention magazine who said they were going to feature us in an upcoming issue and voila!  Here we are already published in their March 2010 issue.  The section is called “CLEAN UP YOUR DIET : The Case for Natural Foods” and talks about how important it is to change your eating habits by choosing to eat whole foods over processed foods.  Crazy Richard’s PB is talked about and a photo of a  jar of Crazy Richard’s PB is on pages 138-139 in the article “Packaged Foods We Love.”

Here I am in my local grocery store check-out line pointing to the mini-sized Prevention magazine.  How awesome that Prevention wrote about Crazy Richard’s PB all on their own!?  And then they contacted us to let us know about their upcoming article!!  We didn’t have to give them anything or try to ’sell’ our product to them – they were already sold on the fabulousness of our PB!  Amazing!!!

Can you tell I’m trying out the “Sisters’ Smile” ??  hehe.
I’ll never quite get it down as awesome as my mom and Aunt Nanette though…

Wow.  That title is a mouthful!  But once you make this banana bread – your mouth will be full of something much yummier!  hehe   Here’s what I did…

4 T softened butter
1/4 C unsweetened, organic applesauce
2 eggs
2 T skim milk or water
3/4 C light brown sugar
1 C mashed ripe organic bananas (2-3 medium bananas)
1 3/4 C King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt (optional)
1/2 C Krema Creamy Peanut Butter
1/3 C dark chocolate chips
1/8 C unsweetened cocoa powder

Beat butter, applesauce, eggs, milk and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until smooth.  Add mashed bananas and blend at low speed; beat at high speed 1 to 2 minutes.  Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix into batter.  Add PB and chocolate chips.

Divide batter in half, beat in cocoa powder to one haft until combined.  Alternate pouring the two batters into a greased loaf pan 8 x 4 x 2 inches; then take a clean knife and make just a few swirls to marble the cocoa batter with the plain.  Top with additional chocolate chips if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees until bread is golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean (about 55 to 60 minutes).  Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool to room temp or cut off a slice and eat it warm

*Also great as muffins!  Cook muffins at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes.

Have a great week!!

Our Krema nut butters are just attracting attention like crazy lately!  My Aunt Nanette has informed me that we recently had a “Culinary Nutrition Consultant” (sounds intense, doesn’t it?) create a couple of recipes for us using a few of our different nut butters.  This Culinary Nutrition Consultant is Amie Valpone, HHP, AADP Nutritionist and author of The Healthy Apple, www.thehealthyapple.com.

Now, I’d be lying to ya’ll if I said I had a clue what any of the above information truly means.  Maybe the rest of you health foodies out there are way more versed in this nutritionist jargon than I am.  But if you are less than knowledgeable like me, then lets just smile and act “dazzled” by these important sounding acronyms together

Most of these new recipes involved ingredients like cashews and almonds so I haven’t actually tried making them in my kitchen yet (remember? my husband so inconsiderately is allergic to nuts )  and therefore I don’t have any fun amateur photos of my own to post.  But here is one interesting and extremely healthy recipe for you to try today…

Nut Butter Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. Krema Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ¼ cup all-natural orange juice
• 1 tsp. orange zest
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 ripened banana
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1 cup ice

Directions

• Combine all ingredients into a blender; process until smooth.
• Transfer to serving glasses. Serve chilled.
• Enjoy!
