PBBP (aka Peanut Butter Blueberry Pancakes)

One of my most favorite ways to wake up in the morning is to whip up a batch full of these incredible pancakes!!  Whoever decided that pancakes were a breakfast food…THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

1 cup whole wheat flour (I often use King Arthur Organic Whole Wheat)
1 T brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c flax seed
1/4 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt (optional)
1 beaten egg
1 c low-fat milk (or buttermilk for extra flavor)
2 T peanut oil
2 c blueberries (I love Cascadian Organic frozen blueberries)

combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl, plus optional salt.  beat egg (important step for fluffy pancakes ;-) ) stir in milk and peanut oil.  add egg mixture to dry ingredients.

i use a measuring cup to pour batter onto slightly greased, hot griddle or pan.  follow immedieately with tons of blueberries!  IMG_9837cover with a lid to help cook evenly.  pbbpTIP : of course you can use fresh blueberries (yum!) but if they are frozen, just rinse them in warm water in a colander to de-thaw a bit first.pbbp
cook pancake about 3 minutes on the first side and slightly less once you turn it over.  keep the lid on the whole time.  remember, whole wheat pancakes take a little longer to cook through to the center and might be a little brown-looking on the outside.  that means its just perfect!pbbp
***don’t forget the MOST IMPORTANT STEP in any pancake making – the TOP LAYER!*** i used Krema Crunchy this morning…generously of course!  after loading on the PB, pour some warmed up, 100% pure maple syrup over the top and wash it all down with some organic milk…pbbp = pure bliss!pbbp

oh yeah, and you can always substitute blueberries for chocolate chips – which is my little peanut’s favorite fun treat :-)

Sammy of the Week : Peanut Butter Cup Bliss

pb cupOne of my dad’s favorites – Crazy Richard himself ;-) – this scrumdiddlyumptious PB Cup sammy has equal parts of all-natural, chunky Crazy Richard’s PB and hazelnutty Nutella spread (or another chocolaty gooey spread).  The key here is not to really mix the two ingredients before hand so much as it is combining them harmoniously, either side-by side or one on top of the other.

These two fabulous ingredients make one heck of a good sammy!

But for a quick fix – just use a spoon ;-)

After all, “PB and Chocolate are a match made in Heaven!”
Says so, right here.  (On the box :-) )

Sammy of the Week : Sticky & Sweet

This is perhaps a much-loved favorite among many of my nutty family members.  I mean, who could resist a sammy that looks like this?

Try this sammy open-faced or closed with a slice of bread atop.  I especially like to butter the bread first and toast it a little so the Krema PB is melting all over and sliding down my fingers with the ooey gooey, sweet honey.  mmmmm…happysammy

Nannette was the creator of this ‘Happy Sammy’ shown above, and I borrowed the first 2 photos from Kevin’s amazing blog closetcooking.blogspot.com.

P.S. While eating ‘Sticky & Sweet’ you have my permission to lick your fingers.  Have a Happy Sammy :-)

What do chipmunks love?

…PEANUTS!

But everybody knows that ;-)   Since this is my blog, I just thought I’d share this recent pic of my little peanuts at Disney World with their new favorite peanut-loving friends – Chip ‘n Dale.  So I guess I should’ve asked WHO do chipmunks love??  – My little peanuts!” hehe.  Get it?  Sometimes I think I’m kind of funny :-) lilpeanutsw/chipndale

P.S. Yes, my husband is a Mets fan.  Who knows why.  And yes, my two-year old still has a pacifier on a limited basis.  Its gross.  I know.  I’m working on it.  It was a moment of weakness…

Just add a scoop of this delicious PB to a can of Black Bean soup (we used Whole Foods 356 Organic Black Bean Soup), top with a little cayenne pepper and some salsa!  You could even try adding Hot-N-Spicy PB to your favorite canned or homemade chili or another bean soup, or just try adding our Krema Creamy or Crunchy PB :-)

Kristin from eatoxygen.blogspot.com made her own variety using our Krema Creamy PB and Dr. McDougall’s All Natural Lentil Soup – check out how yummy this looks!
