Sammy of the Week : Flatbread Flaxseed

My mom just introduced me to a fun new flatbread : Arnold Select Sandwich Thins.  Only 100 Calories each, these thins come in a variety of flavors and have 4g of protein and 5g of fiber!  Plus they are loaded with cracked wheat a seeds throughout which give them an added yum factor :)

To make a Flatbread Flaxseed Sammy, use these Sandwich Thins or a copy-cat version like Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats.  Put a few spoonfuls of 100% all-natural Krema Crunchy PB in a small bowl and add about a Tablespoon of 100% natural, ground flaxseed (sold in most grocery stores).

Mix the PB and flaxseed together and spread the combo onto an inside layer of the Sandwich Thins.  Layer the other side with some raw honey or a natural fruit spread and stick them together.

Enjoy the grainy, nutty-ness of the peanuts, flaxseed and cracked wheat in this delicious Sammy of the Week!

Sammy of the Week : White Chocolate Wonder

I ran out of bread the other day but I desperately needed a PB Sammy for lunch so I decided to use some whole wheat English Muffins instead.  I often toast the muffins open-faced and smother them with Krema PB but this day my stomach was in need of some chocolate.  Apparently I hadn’t been shopping for awhile because I was also out of most varieties of my usual assortment of chocolate pieces.  But I did have a few Ghiradelli White Chocolate Chips tucked away and my stomach immediately screamed to my brain – “Please melt those WONDERFUL white chocolate pieces onto those muffins!!!!”  So my brain obeyed my stomach, as it often does, and proceeded to create what I’m calling a “White Chocolate Wonder” Sammy!  IMG_0025After the white choc pieces and the muffins turned a tad golden brown in my toaster oven, I spread the white choc around with a knife to create a thin, even layer.  Then I sliced one ripe banana (about four slices on each muffin), covered them in some all-natural, Krema Crunchy PB and even added a spoonful of raw honey to the top!  We only eat raw honey in our house (the kind in the jar that doesn’t squirt out of the head of a bear) so then I stuck the whole muffin back into the toaster oven just long enough for the PB and honey to melt all over the bananas.  With every bite my sweet-tooth of a stomach was shouting for joy as I discovered the ‘wonderful’ white chocolate surprise in the middle! IMG_0031Thank you stomach.  I was in a good mood all afternoon.  Cleaning that toaster oven was never so satisfying :-)

Sammy of the Week : NuttyCreme

This dessert-like creation could make any man, woman or child salivate just at the mere sight of it.  Similar to the famous ‘fluffernutter’ sammy but with some LEGITIMATE PB (instead of just the other guys look-a-likes).  Plus you’ll feel better knowing that when your kids are eating a ‘NuttyCreme Sammy’, they are getting valuable nutrition from our all-natural Krema PB…along with a bunch of sugar… hehe ;-)

Ingredients :
soft white bread
marshmallow creme
Krema (or Crazy Richard’s) PB

Assemble; Enjoy!  Delight in this childhood delicacy no matter what your age is!  I’m going to go make myself another one right now in fact… ;-)

Seriously.

Sammy of the week : PB & Green Tomato Jalapeno Jam

Picture this : the perfect, all-natural PB paired up with a savory, sweet but spicy jam together on toasted homemade wheat bread??  Ahhh…

Now, picture this :

Can we say, delish?  What a unique, inspiring twist on the ol’ PB&J Sammy!  I love it!

My favorite recipe for the Green Tomato Jalapeno Jam is from Chef Jeremy at Cork Restaraunt

4 jalapenos, stems & seeds removed, sliced
1 cup loosely packed cilantro and mint steams and leaves (the ratio of each is up to your taste)
2” section of ginger, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, smashed
½ cup cider vinegar
2 tbl soy sauce
1 lb green tomatoes (skin removed and chopped)
3 cups sugar

In a blender or food processor, blend the jalapenos, herbs, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and cider vinegar till smooth. Add the mixture to a heavy bottom pot with the sugar and tomatoes. Place on the heat, bring to a simmer and cook on low till glossy and thick, about 15 minutes. Make sure you stir occasionally to avoid the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan.  Check out steamykitchen.com for a detailed how-to.

I also found good Green Tomato Jalapeno Jam recipes here and here.

But lets not forget the most ingredient in today’s Sammy of the Week : Krema (or Crazy Richard’s) PB!!

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 :-) )
