Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter! Yeah, seriously!


After all the baking I have been doing over the last few weeks, I decided to take it easy this week and make some cookies and cream peanut butter.  I first saw this recipe over on Picky Palate's site and thought it looked interesting.  I was wrong, it is amazing.  Seriously, I don't know if I am ever going to be able to bring myself to eat regular peanut butter ever again!  I sent it in to my daughter's preschool for snack with some apples and the kids all loved it, the parents who tried it loved, my skeptical sister-in-law, who took one look at the strange color and raised her eyebrow at me, loved it!  Basically, everyone loves it!  So go grab yourself a pack of Oreos, some white chocolate chips and a jar of peanut butter and get started.  It's super easy and quick and well worth the 5 minutes it will take you to make and the extra 10 it will take you to tear apart your cupboards looking for a lid for the jar you put it in!





Crush up your Oreos...


Melt your chips and 2 Tbps. peanut butter in a double broiler


Mix Oreos, melted chips and peanut butter together


Enjoy!









Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter
from Picky Palate

2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
10 Oreo cookies
1 cup white chocolate chips

First, crush up your Oreo cookies.  You can do this a number of ways, by placing them in a ziploc bag and breaking them up by hand or a rolling pin, or you can put them in a food processor.
Note: If you place them in a food processor, try not to over crush them, they should still be kind of coarse with some sizeable chunks.  If you do over crush them, no real big deal...just be aware that if you mix the fine crumbs in really well with the peanut butter it makes a weird color...learn from my mistakes people!  LOL

Next, melt your chips and 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter over a double broiler or in the microwave.

In a larger bowl, add the 2 cups of peanut butter, the melted chips/peanut butter and the Oreo crumbs.  Mix as little or as much as you want.  You can leave swirls of Oreo crumbs or mix it until it is all incorporated like I did.  Place your peanut butter in a jar and try not to eat it all in 24 hours.  Ours has been in the house for 4 days or so, so I guess that means we have some self-control...well at least a few of us do!

S'mores with a Twist!

Now that it is finally summer and the weather is beautiful here in Southwest Washington, that means it is time for camping and cookouts to begin.  The most important food item at these events of course, being s'mores.  Who needs the hot dogs, burgers and steaks...I'll take s'mores please!  : D For our family camping trip I decided to mix it up a bit and feature some new candy bars besides the Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars.  I hit the candy aisle at the grocery store and looked for every flat-ish candy bar available.  I ended up with a Hershey's Symphony bar, a Hershey's Cookies n' Cream bar, a Mr. Goodbar (my family's personal fav) and a Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  Time for the fun to begin!   We all had a blast trying the different bars and although they were all delicious, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law liked the Mr. Goodbar best, where as I LOVED the Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  I ate way too many after white water rafting...but I figure...

Tuesdays are our lazy days around our house.  I don't work until the afternoon and my daughter doesn't have school, so it is kind of the day that we sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and get a few things done around the house.  This Tuesday, I decided to make it extra special and make homemade cinnamon rolls...from scratch!  I don't think there is any better breakfast than a delicious hot from the oven cinnamon roll that you made with your very own hands.  Plus, I had some leftover cream cheese frosting that tasted just like Cinnabon's frosting...so yeah, basically best breakfast EVER! lol Our ingredients...

French Toast Bread Pudding

Good morning!  I just love starting Sundays with a freshly made warm breakfast!  There is just something about sitting down with the family and having a yummy meal together that just makes my day.  Maybe it is because it is the last day of the weekend and I always start Sundays hoping that I will just be able to sit back and relax, and if the season is right end it with a football game!  It rarely works out that way, especially during the school year, but one can always hope! This morning we started our day of with French Toast Bread Pudding!  I love this recipe because it is quick to throw together and bake the next morning and because it is a great way to use up old bread, particularly if you made it yourself and cannot bare the thought of throwing it away when it starts to go stale!  For this morning's bread pudding we used up the leftover Choereg bread we made for a Girl Scout event last week and it worked out great.  Since Choereg is sweet, i...
