My mother, Melissa, is awesome.  I mean, I’m sure you all knew that already, right?  Well, she was asked to be a guest blogger on The Cook Next Door about natural PB and the benefits of going with all-natural PB (like Krema or Crazy Richard’s) v. eating ‘the other guys’ PB!  I think my mom did a fabulous job!  But for the sake of space I’m not going to re-post her post here, I’m just going to let you read it yourself…HERE.  And I think she is going to do some giveaway next week and post some great Krema PB recipes too!

Oh yes, and here is a super cool, totally nutty fact: the creator and author of the absolutely adorable blog The Cook Next Door, is the daughter of my mother’s old college roommate!  How fun is that?  Did that make sense?  Let me clarify.  Not too many years ago, my mother was roommates with Jill.  Than Jill had a daughter named Candace (The Cook Next Door) and my mom had me (We’re Totally Nuts!)

AND to make the story even that much more fun, Jill has another daughter named Chelsea who I WAS ROOMMATES WITH IN COLLEGE!!! And Chelsea has a phenomenal style blog based out of Washington called Make You Over (which I highly recommend).   Oh and that other adorable old roommate of my mom and Jill’s on the right in this picture named Julie?  Yeah, she also has a daughter.  Her name is Ani.  And – can you even guess – Ani was ALSO my roommate in college!  Incredible?  I think so.

There you have it.  We are all connected….in a crazy and nutty kind of way!!
