National Peanut Butter Lovers Month!

This is where the saying better late than never comes in handy!  It is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month!!  I just found this out this week!

I ADORE peanut butter!  I am a creamy peanut butter lover, Jif preferably, no crunchy for this chick!  It is loaded with protein and is so versatile.  It is awesome on bread, pancakes, crackers, cookies, DARK CHOCOLATE, noodles, fruit, vegetables... can you tell I love PB?  My two favorite ways to enjoy it is grabbing a tablespoon out of the silverware drawer and scooping out a heaping spoonful or spreading a generous portion on two pieces of bread, cementing them together.  Then I tear off the crusts and eat those first, crusts to me are like vegetables to kids, YUCKY.  Then I compress the bread down all over the sandwich, pinching the bread down carefully.  OH MY GOODNESS, I'm drooling!  I guess I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

If I had a food processor I would definitely try this recipe.  If you do try this, please let me know how it went and what you thought of it.

Peanut Butter

2C dry roasted peanuts
1/4 t salt
3 - 4 T oil

Place the nuts in the food processor, sprinkle salt over the nuts.  Then drizzle in the oil.

Process until well combined.  If it is too thick drizzle up to another tablespoon of oil & process until well combined.

Wha-lah!  Creamy, peanuty goodness!

Okay, I'm going to admit something and I hope you won't judge me too harshly.  I know it is juvenile but when typing the first line of the directions I mentally giggled when I came to the word 'nuts'.  I mean it's a funny word right?  Well, maybe it's just me.  Nuts!  Teehee!

Enjoy what is left of National Peanut Butter Lovers Month!

Keep smiling and know that God loves you and so do I!
