Peanut Butter Everything

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on October 19, 2011

Peanut, Peanut Butter.. and EVERYTHING!

 

Friends, I have been in Peanut Butter or BUST mode lately. It has made an appearance in some way, shape, or form in just about every one of my meals lately. I am not complaining. Because peanut butter is just plain GOOD!

 

Before I get started, I thought I would mention that PB always tastes good on bread.  Do you want some free bread.. that perhaps you can lather in Peanut Butter?  Well, then you should probably enter my MANNA BREAD GIVEAWAY that ends tomorrow. (Just saying, FREE BREAD!)

 

For breakfast, I enjoyed the usual .. OATS.  Since it is getting a little chilly, I have been inclined to eat more hot oats.

 

 

 

 

Here we have some Vanilla Latte Oats.  The good folks at Fit Frappe sent me a big old JUG of Vanilla Latte Fit Frappe to play around with. I am surely going to get busy in the kitchen and try to make some delicious baked goods – so send some suggestions my way!

 

Of course, no bowl of oats would be complete without a lovely dollop of PB! :)

 

Lunch… well.. is getting warmer too!  I took my usual combo of Ezekiel, Apple Slices, Turkey, and Mustard.. added some shredded mozz… and pressed it on my George Foreman.

 

 

 

 

This yummy sandwich was accompanied by some cottage cheese with some Peanut Butter.  Actually.. it appears as if it was accompanied by some PEANUT BUTTER with a little cottage cheese. Woops.  I mean.. I would have been going back for spoonfuls.. so I just put it all out at once ;)

 

 

 

Dinner.. sadly, didn’t include peanut butter. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t delicious!  (Sorry for the horrendous picture quality. Blame it on the d-d-d-d-d-darkness…)

 

 

Spaghetti Squash with chicken, veggies, and marinara sauce.  I was first introduced to Spaghetti Squash on Tessa’s blog.. and thank her greatly for making this delicious stuff known to Cait.

 

Desserts can always include peanut butter. So how about some Strawberry Frozen Yogurt.. with an ample amount of peanut butter on top!

 

 

 

Okay! Sounds good to me. Let me tell you – Fro-Yo with PB is awesome because the PB get super cold and semi hard. And it is just SCRUM-DITTLY-UMPTIOS!

 

Clearly much more food was consumed in a day.  I want to make clear that my WIAW posts never include all of the foods that I eat EVER.  Just wanted to mention that…

 

 

And thanks to JENN for allowed me to posts PB in almost every meal I ate!!  Join the party at Peas and Crayons! :)

WOOOO!!!! Peanut butter for the win! I’ve had many days where I top pb on everything haha ;)
I think my favorite way to eat it is either mixed in yogurt or dolloped in a sweet potato :D

The vanilla latte oats just sound amazing, they look good too!

I am so glad you are still enjoying the spaghetti squash :D I love that it continues to improve both of our lives
Is it okay if I say that I like almond butter more?! But PB is still good too :)

I never thought of peanut butter with cottage cheese, although I love both. I kept myself from eating a lot of peanut butter because of the fat and on Weight Watchers it’s 3 Points for 1 Tbsp. But I’ve been getting into it more lately. I get extra protein-I’m vegetarian and Ralph’s always nagging me about that- and it’s a healthy fat. My new favorite snack is peanut butter on rice cakes. Love it! Thanks for the idea, with the cottage cheese,Cait!

I love, love, love peanut butter!!! My favorite way to consume it is either on a whole wheat bagel or mixed into a bowl with vanilla greek yogurt and a chopped up chocolate vita top. Yum!

I go through peanut butter obsessed stages – so I have about 5 different jars to choose from when the mood strikes! I’ve been eating all hot food recently – I even thought about wearing gloves this morning even though it’s only 50 degrees. :)

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table October 19, 2011 at 8:01 am

I love PB on cottage cheese! I also love that you put it on ice cream. One of my favorite flavors to get with vanilla swirled with creamy PB. Getting a big chunk on PB in a bite is bliss. :)

Haha. I always tend to leave the parts with PB until last.. regardless of what I am eating it with. Clearly it is the best part!

Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health October 19, 2011 at 8:16 am

Yay for PB! I LOVE it :) . I think my current favorite way to eat it is in my oatmeal…but I love it pretty much anyway. And that sandwich looks so good! I may have to try apple slices on one.

Oooh, pb + cottage cheese? Definitely giving that a try. I guess if it works in yogurt it would be delicious with cottage cheese too!

You are my kinda gal! PB on everything?! Yes please!! My favorite way to eat peanut butter is on wheat toast with sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey on top. It’s always been one of my faves, and probably always will be!

Bringing back the oats. Just like me, it’s getting so chilly!!
I love spaghetti squash as well. Still looks good even in bad lighting.
I put nut butter on everything. I’ve eaten it with tuna, kale, squash/sweet potatoes, carrots, japanese rice crackers etc. It is the ultimate condiment!
