What ‘King’ Loved PB??

Posted on by

If you guessed Elvis “The King” Presley than you were right!  Elvis will always be remembered for his deep love of deep fried foods, most notably – PB Sammys!  His PB Sammy favorites include various combinations of grilled white bread, smooth PB, mashed bananas, honey, blueberry jelly, and sometimes-even bacon!  Elvis Presley’s passion for PB is not limited to just sammys, he enjoyed PB on a variety of foods.  But Elvis rarely ate PB with out his favorite, yummy PB companion – mashed bananas!

I have been inspired by Elvis’ devotion to his beloved PB lately.  That is why I have decided to dedicate my PB posts this week to  “The King” Elvis Presley, with today being PB Elvis Week : Day 1.  I’ll be sharing some hilarious PB Elvis stories and a few PB Elvis recipes too.  Since I was never able to determine exactly which brand of PB was “The King’s” favorite, all the PB Elvis recipes I’ll share will have been improved (in my opinion) by using all-natural Krema PB, of course!

Stay tuned…

Dutch Bike Dutch and my nutty sister too

Posted on by

We are formulating a new, big contest over here at Krema so stay tuned!  Until then, read this :

I have a nutty sister.
Her name is Stephanie.
She is an awesome, CRAZY red-head.
But c’mon, are you really that surprised?? IMG_0910

I’m a blond, both my parents are blonds (or they used to be) and somehow they got this gorgeous daughter with incredibly gorgeous red hair!  I could go on and on about Stephanie but what I wanted to share about her was Dutch Bike Dutch.  Stephanie and 70 of her closest friends take a bike trip through Amish Country in Pennsylvania twice a year and call it Dutch Bike Dutch.  Last fall, Stephanie somehow managed to secure the incredible, fantastic sponsor : Crazy Richard’s Peanut Butter! (Lucky girl.  She must have some kind of connection… ;-) )
Steph is the cutie in the center with the red hair and sunglasses…Dutch_Bike_Dutch__08

Each biker rode either 15, 30 or 60 miles, and they all met at the finish and ended with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!  Ahhh…sweet (and tasty ;) ) victory!Lots_of_PB___J_s_

Some fellow riders showing off their awesome t-shirts, courtesy of Crazy Richard’s Peanut Butter! I just love that ORANGE!Thank_you_Crazy_Richard_s_

Happy Birthday Stephanie!
We love you!!
We are so lucky to have you in our Nutty Family!!IMG_0210

p.s.  Steph – I can’t believe that you have let me get away with blogging on here about our crazy family for so long without mentioning you!  Especially since you are probably the nuttiest one of us!  hehe.  Love you!

Pottery Barn Sells Peanut Butter??

Posted on by

Ha!  Made you look.  I don’t really think Pottery Barn is selling PB these days actually, but I did just get my new Pottery Barn catalog in the mail and began leafing through it while I was enjoying my incredible Almond Butter sammy (post forthcoming) when I stumbled upon this adorable farmhouse ceramic PB Pot!

How cute is that?  I mean, who isn’t in dire need of an over-sized, pretend vintage PB jar to hold their freshly cut flower arrangements??  The caption actually reads, “Country general stores once stored perishables in thick earthen jars like these…Use the large uncovered Peanut Butter Pot as casual kitchen storage or as a cachepot for plants.” Hilarious!  I totally love how Pottery Barn blends the old-fashioned with modern superior quality and durability.  They come up with some outrageous decoration sometimes, but then they always seem to be able to pull it off so beautifully…

Gasp!  The PB Pot actually looks gorgeous with this rustic pine and wicker ‘Summer’ dining set.  How do they do that?  Anyone want to buy me the PB Pot?  It’s only $49.00….

BTW : I am being slightly facetious ;-)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Posted on by

Our PB office is in the same building as my mom’s candy store – The Sister’s Sweet Shoppe.  They sell gourmet nuts, high quality chocolates, candies, all varieties of our PB of course, holiday baskets and even FRUITCAKE!  Yes, people really do eat fruitcake.  But if they aren’t eating OUR fruitcake then they are wasting their calories because our fruitcake is legit.  No garbage – just the good stuff.  Plus some of it comes dipped in chocolate!  HELLO!  Well, my mom and her sister Nanette have dubbed themselves the ‘Fruitcake Sisters’ and have become somewhat of a local icon around town…catalog photos 2007 012

Anyways, our PB office/candy store is located in Historic Downtown Dublin, Ohio and every year the City of Dublin puts on a large St. Patrick’s Day celebration with parties, music, contests and a fabulous St. Patrick’s Day parade!  And it just happens to be THAT time of year once again!  ST. Paddy’s Day!  This is a BIG BIG deal for us here in DUBLIN !!!  (ohio ;0)  This year the parade was on Saturday but unfortunately, the weather was a bit of a downer (light drizzle all morning).  I don’t have pictures of our float this year so until then – here are some great photos of us from last year’s parade…

This is my adorable Grandma standing next to our beautiful boat float.  We won the “Best Commercial Float” contest in 2008 & 2009!  My creative mother actually spent hours making those awesome green and white paper flowers that are decorating the boat float.  Aren’t they gorgeous?  She is sooooo talented !!

All_decked_outOn the left is Danny our ‘Warehouse Nut’ who so willingly always wears our frog costume…funny thing is, I think he secretly LOVES being the Dublin Frog!  Next is my Aunt Nanette (in her St. Patrick’s Day Fruitcake Sister costume) then in the center is my tiny, adorable Grandmother in her Grandma’s Fruitcakes costume, then my mom (in her St. Patrick’s Day Fruitcake Sister costume) and on the far right is my cousin Lincoln sporting a “Vote for The Sisters” t-shirt, y’know like the shirts from Napoleon Dynamite?   {claim to fame : someone in my nutty family actually KNOWS Napoleon Dynamite (aka Jon Heder) and she knows him well too :-) } Down in front is my youngest sweetie-bug cousin who is never afraid to dress up crazy and cheer for the Fruitcake Sisters!  Whereas I probably would have been mortified to be associated with these nutty ladies when I was her age, she is stellar and one of their biggest fans!  I think I’m coming around though…and so has my super fun sister Stephanie…

Vote_for_the_SistersStephanie (on the left) brought two of her roommates to the parade and had them dress up for the festivities also!!  Everything was so successful and fun.  What a fabulous Holiday!!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
