Happy National Peanut Butter Day!
Comments (10)Kings Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg makes the best....may need to do this for dinner! from King's Arms Tavern Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia Serves 10-12 Ingredients: * 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter * 1 medium onion, finely chopped * 2 celery ribs, finely chopped * 3 tablespoons flour * 8 cups Chicken Stock* (or low-salt canned chicken stock) * 2 cups smooth peanut butter * 1 1/2 cups light cream or half-and-half * Finely chopped salted peanuts, for garnish Instructions: In a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, three-five minutes. Stir in flour and cook two minutes longer. Pour in the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour into a sieve set over a large bowl and strain, pushing hard on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible. Return the liquid to the sauce pan or pot. Whisk the peanut butter and the cream into the liquid. Warm over low heat, whisking often, for about five minutes. Do not boil. Serve warm, garnished with the chopped peanuts....See MoreHealthy Check-in for May
Comments (31)Not happy with being unable to lose a few pounds I've gained or with my lack of motivation to get back to exercising more than twice a week. However on a positive note DH, who has a major sweet tooth and always has dessert around, has decided to cut back on this. He's the model for being fit and trim but after having a stroke his doctor wants him to get his LDL lower and he doesn't want to take medication. He exercises a lot and eats very healthy other than the sweets so he's cut that out. I'm amazed how easily he has just eliminated it. The good thing for me is that now we don't have this around to tempt me which will be very, very good for my sugar addiction and in turn my weight loss I think. Now that I've killed off the dark chocolate covered pretzel crisps the house is all clear of this stuff. I don't have a problem avoiding buying it, just avoiding eating it if it's around. I've also decided I need to eat more protein. I'm not a big meat eater though I don't mind meat. I'm just a big fruit, vegetable and whole grain eater which is fine but not great for protein consumption. I'm thinking if I eat same calories but more protein I'll be more satisfied and not wanting to eat as much. Time will tell. My 57th birthday is coming up in ten days. I'm happy to be getting "old" considering I've had cancer three times. Yippee!! Between my situation and DH's stroke last year, we are very focused on enjoying life and doing things we want to do before we croak. You never know how much time you've got. We truly enjoy every day but for special events, we're going to Scotland in September. I've also just made reservations to go to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in the fall of 2015. We joke (kind of) that we hope we're still around by then. Seems like a long way off but it goes by fast....See MoreJIF Peanut Butter
Comments (18)I often get Skippy ... or Kraft, but have a bottle of Jif in the cupboard (son loves Jif) and I went to check it. No hint of an expiry date on the bottle. But there's a piece of masking tape on the edge of the lid with "Feb '06" written on it. I don't recall being the authour of that story ... but probably I was. I usually store peanut butter in the kitchen, or in the basement, sometimes have a jar or two in the fridge. I've had peanut butter go rancid in the heat of the summer. Peanuts, also. And almonds. ole joyful...See MoreI know, I know, but what is your favorite peanut butter?
Comments (39)Skippy Crunchy is my fave. And my job buys it (1/2 creamy too) by the case for anybody that uses it at work. The neat thing (for me) is that they only provide forks and spoons to use with it, so the guys always open a new jar with about 1/5 of the jar remaining. Sounds odd, I know, but they wouldn't keep track of a butter knife for a day in this shop. So, I get the leftovers for free! I save pine cones cover with pb, and cover with bird seed for the grandkids to make and hang from our trees. also use it to keep the dogs kong toy full. I feel better about all that then just throwing it away. Don't even get me started on the amount of bread they waste, that comes home to feed the birds too. Trin...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
