Crazy Richard’s and a Leg Workout…Posted on January 26, 2011 by Kathleen

Oh Hump Day, how nice to see you! Despite the fact that it is snowing outside and supposed to snow all evening, I was pretty excited that my breakfast was Oats in a Jar! LOVE LOVE LOVE when this happens. Yep, I love my oats!

Crazy Richard’s is my peanut butter of choice these days. I discovered them in Shop Rite a couple of months ago. I was looking at all of my choices and the ridiculous prices that companies now charge for almond butter and natural peanut butter. But I noticed Crazy Richard’s and that a normal size jar was not only under $4.00, but the ingredients also only stated: PEANUTS! I laughed out loud and immediately put it in my cart. I’ve been using them on a regular basis and make sure to check out their blog for some of my recipes and where to buy their products. THEY ARE AWESOME!

So on this snowy morning, this was my “Oats in a Jar” recipe!

• 1/2 cup Quaker Oats
• 1 sliced banana
• Crazy Richard’s Crunch Peanut Butter
• 1/2 T of unsweetened cocoa powder
• dash of cinnamon

Absolutely delicious, filling, nutritious!

(he likes to add kosher salt to our PB!  silly boy )

AND the PB Boy recommends using our all-natural Krema PB in such scrumptious recipes as this PB Banana Pudding…

Y’know how I am always saying that my family is full of nutty people?  And I’m always joking around about how everyone else is so crazy?  Well, I guess I need to fill ya’ll in on my Nutty Situation…

I’m pregnant with TWIN BOYS! 

(Me & my hubbs holding an ultrasound photo of the twinlets)

I already have two little girlie peanuts (ages 3 & 4) and now we’re expecting two boy peanuts some time early next year!  I know, I know.  We are CRAZY!  Yes, I guess the peanut doesn’t fall too far from the tree….

(My cutie pie family after we just cut open two blue cakes to reveal we are having boys!)

Y’know whats even crazier?  I am not the first one in my family to have multiples!  My cousin Margo has TRIPLETS!  Yes, you read that right.  Triplets.  They just turned 8!  I’ve tried to tell you – my family tree truly is full of NUTS!!

(Margo’s eight year old triplets )

My mom’s oldest daughter (me) and my Aunt Nanette’s oldest daughter (Margo) will now both be the mothers of multiples!  That means that The Fruitcake Sisters (a.k.a. my mom and my Aunt Nanette) will both be the grandmothers of multiples!!  I think that they need to get some matching crazy shirts made that say something funny about it.  Any fun ideas???

oh and P.S.  I pretty much have been living on straight PB.  All-natural Krema crunchy PB of course, but most every thing else has made me sick.  These boys are already PB lovers “in utero!”  I love it!

She’s totally addicted, for life.  Its obvious   Not that I blame her…

♥ Kimberly

The only problem was that my scotcaroo’s were eaten so fast that I forgot to take a photo.  So I’m borrowing this one from this adorable website called Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! How cute is that?  Check it out.  Oh yeah, and eat some of these tonight.  You won’t be sorry

a “PB Hot Dog” Sammy!!

Use your favorite cinnamon bread, spread a generous amount of all-natural Krema PB on one side, then fold over a ripe banana!  Voila!  You’ve just made yourself a PB Hot Dog Sammy

Re-create this at home with some kids for added fun   Nanette of course tried this Sammy out on a couple of her grandkids…

(Thank goodness there isn’t REALLY a hot dog in there…eww!!)

(See the look of awe and excitement on my face??)

Well, today that same article was re-posted on the Yahoo! website homepage!
Krema was chosen as Cooking Lights’ FAVORITE natural crunchy PB!

Here’s what the article said about Krema…

BEST NATURAL CRUNCHY: Krema Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter
Price: $3.29 (16 ounces)
Testers said: The label claims no added salt, sugar, or hydrogenated oils, and we didn’t miss the sweetness or saltiness in this sample. Raters liked the hunks of peanuts, the crunch, and the real peanut flavor. The cookie sample was chewy and sweet. Serve atop toast, waffles, or pancakes drizzled with honey. Stir into ground chicken as a binder for meatballs or burgers. Use to make fudge or blond brownies.

WOW!  We are just tickled that there are so many Krema fans out there   I mean, whats not to love??
