Peanut Buttery Cool

May 22, 2009

What a night! I can’t wait to tell you guys about my amazing dinner at Uni! I want to give the evening a proper review, so look for a complete recap in the next couple of days. Let’s just say that I was very impressed by the food and people I met! :-D

Breakfast this morning was a mish-mash of ingredients: Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt, Peanut Butter Pows cereal, and crumbled peanut butter “cookies” that I baked the other night. The combo was smooth and peanut buttery with a little crunch. Perfect for a warm Friday morning! 

For those of you who asked, here is my peanut butter “cookie” recipe. 

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 1 cup flour

Directions: Preheat oven to 350*F. Combine ingredients in large mixing bowl. Grease baking sheet. Drop cookies on sheet using a tbsp. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy! 

I added some red grapes to breakfast as well. Although, I didn’t end up finishing them all and packed them up for lunch. 

I’m not sure if I will have a lunch (or dinner) post for you guys today. I am so behind with blog stuff, including writing something for Health for the coming week, so I might spend my lunch hour catching up. I am off to Happy Hour and dinner with Mal for his birthday, so we’ll see if I can squeeze it all in!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! :mrgreen:

Enjoy your Friday, good luck getting your writing done!

I love to grill chicken sausages from Trader Joe’s and mixed veggies. Of course, I think everything tastes better cooked on the grill!

I stayed in the Elliot when I was on business last year and dined, by myself, at Uni. It was one of the best culinary experiences I have EVER had. So excited to hear what you thought!

Yummy peanut buttery goodness! My favorite BBQ food is probably hot dogs, or BBQ ribs. Or corn on the cob! (Or anything really, haha.) With some kind of fresh berry dessert or fresh fruit to finish, of COURSE! ;)

Fave cookout food: I’m a huge fan of the buffalo style Al Fresco chicken sausages. And corn on the cob and watermelon are two side dishes that are a must at any cookout. :D

I love anything rubbed with great flavors especially grilled fish and veggies because it’s so fresh and summery! I’m actually looking forward to trying a few of the healthier recipes like jicama salad, etc for our first cookout on Monday!

My fav is probably grilled corn on the cob and grilled marinated steak! Although there is something about grilled hot dogs that complete a summer for me haha.

Oooo I’ve never been to UNI! I do remember when Giada went there on her “weekend getaway” to Boston.

Is today Mal’s bday? My fiance’s is tomorrow! How funny! Happy Bday Mal!

Looks really good Tina! Anything Peanut Butter gets a thumbs up from me (check out my post from last night! haha)

I am going to have to say a good old very unhealthy hot dog! MMMM But I will take anything off the BBQ- greatest way to cook things! Including veggies!

Have a wonderful day!

Sausage. Any kind of sausage. Ha! I also like grilled fruit on the BBQ – pineapple, peaches, anything. So good.

When it’s wintertime, or I don’t have access to a grill (I do live in a teeny apt. after all), I like to make simple chicken or pork in my slow cooker that reminds me of BBQs – literally all I do is pour BBQ sauce over the meat and turn the cooker on. Pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwiches? Yes please!

Oh, your breakfast looks SCRUMPTIOUS :)
I want to try that PB cookie recipe, I seriously love anything with peanut butter.

Salmon grilled on a bbq is hands down the best thing ever, you don’t need anything but some garlic and lemon wedges on it and it comes out amazing. Second to that would be pineapple and chicken sausage. Yay for summer!
