What I'm Reading This Week #29
Howdy do all and welcome to your Friday. I hope your week treated you well and you're ready to recharge a bit. You know, when I started this gardening business, I had delusions of like, actually enjoying it maybe with my morning tea before the day got hectic. source Instead it's like the second the plants went into the ground, Mother Nature turned it to 11 and hasn't let up. The wall of humidity is ridiculous! I can't even go out to water or do something simple without looking like I was back on the chain gang for 8 hours. Or I get to see the 500th mistake I've made and end up ripping out my strawberry plants or moving other plants because they might be too close together. Watching my 4 puny tomatoes laugh at me as they choose not to ripen or grow while other people talk about mad harvests in which they can't pick them fast enough. I will say the bees have been making me happy out front. I was at the planter and one was working on a ...
Mmmmm! Looks good. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI thought I made this for you. We'll have to rectify that!
DeleteSince I'm crazy for peanut butter, you'd think I know peanut butter powder, but I've never seen it. Provided I don't find it, do you think the real stuff would work in this dip which sounds delicious?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I'd say you could get away with 1 tbsp of the regular stuff. At my grocery store, it's carried in the organic/health food section. It used to be much harder to find but most stores seem to have come on board with it over the past 2 years.
DeleteIf you have a hard time in your area, I put a link to it in the ingredients list for a 2 pack that will save you money over the long run. We use it for apple dip, smoothies, baking recipes, etc so it made sense for us to forego paying for the plastic jar for the bigger pouches. To reconstitute for regular peanut butter, I start with 1 tbsp of water to the 2 tbsp serving and add if I want a thinner consistency. You'll have to let me know if you like it!
That looks really good. I'll definitely remember that for when I do have some leftover pumpkin, which if you're going to be posting pumpkin recipes is likely to happen soon. I'll just have to remember to pick up some dates next time I'm at the store...
ReplyDeleteYep, I have a few coming so you'll have the chance to give it a try. Dates are always great to have on hand. Banana date muffins or those little date nut balls for a quick healthier treat. Actually I'll have another date recipe coming up too so even more reason to grab some! :)
DeleteWow! That sounds delicious. I just threw out some leftover pumpkin from a pumpkin/apple bread I made, DAMN!!! I kept it for over a week though and decided it needed to go. Guess I could have tried freezing it. At least canned pumpkin isn't too pricey! This will be a great dip to use with all those Honeycrisp apples I've been stocking up on! They're on sale this week at Walmart for $2.47/lb. Expensive---but worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteAww, dang it! This is perfect with honeycrisps (that's what is pictured). It's the perfect bite of fall!
Deletemmmm that sounds great! Powdered Peanut Butter? You come across all sorts of stuff I've never heard of before (like balsamic cheddar). But at least they're things we can probably find next to our normal stuff and just never noticed before. Thumbs down for those blog recipes that require strange $20 items you only need a teaspoon of and will never use again. But this...peanut butter powder...I could probably go through a can in a week!
ReplyDeleteI saw it about 5 years ago at a specialty grocery store and was so intrigued. Suddenly I started seeing it popping up in recipes and now my regular grocery store carries it in the organic section. You can use it for so many things and it's perfect for a little protein kick without the calories and fat of full on peanut butter. Sometimes I'll reconstitute it with a little water (or 1 tbsp apple cider if I have it) and add some ground cloves. It's SO good!
DeleteI love it in my oatmeal. It mixes in more smoothly for a more uniform flavoring than regular PB does.
ReplyDeleteYes it does! The Mr has it like that quite a bit!
