Remember my Favorite Things post where I posted pictures of my ten favorite things? Well anyway, Peanut Butter was one of them.
The past couple weeks I’ve been going to a tennis camp from 10-11:30 (30-minute break) and 12-1:30. During my 30-minute break, I eat a quick snack before going back onto the court again. (Thirty minutes really isn’t enough time for a full lunch, especially when I’m going to play tennis in 100-degree weather right after!) This snack usually consists of a piece of fruit (peach, apple, or a smoothie) and some pretzels dipped in peanut butter.
Today I had my strawberry-banana-papaya-orange smoothie all ready to eat, and a bag of pretzels, too. But when I searched my cooler for peanut butter, it wasn’t there!!!! How horrible! My poor pretzels couldn’t be bathed in peanut-buttery goodness before they met their doom!
So when I came home today, I ran to the fridge for a snack: peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s right, I dipped a HUGE spoon into the peanut butter jar, and came back with a mound of creamy peanut butter. Then I took the spoon and dipped it into a big bag of raw cacao nibs, and rolled the spoon around.
And I give you the result:
Doesn’t it look so good? Well, I think it does. That’s why I went back for seconds.
And here is a picture of me devouring the last remains on my spoon:
Lesson-Learned: I can’t go a single day without peanut butter.
It’s like peanut butter is hard-wired into my system. It is something I MUST have EVERYday!
This reminds me of people who have coffee-addictions. They run around in the morning going, “Coffee! Coffee! I must have my Coffee!” (No offense to anyone with this addiction. I totally understand) Instead of coffee, I go, “Peanut Butter! Peanut Butter! Give me my Peanut Butter!”
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
Do you guys have an addiction like mine? It surprised me when I realized this today-it made me laugh!
What a cute picture! Can you guess what my addiction is? Hint: It’s a soft drink! MJ
hmmm…..is it by any chance dr. pepper?? 😛
I actaully eat pnt butter everyday too..or some nut butter..it’s just too good. 🙂 I drink tea everyday!!! hope you had fun at tennis camp..I totally play singles!! you???
OH MY YUM! i used to do this daily as a kid with kraft peanut butter! oh and JIF too! always took a nice big spoonful. very good when u need a quick boost! <3 u look SO PRETTY btw!
thanks! You are always looking gorgeous too! And you should get back into the practice of a spoonful of peanut butter (a day keeps the doctor away!)
Nice picture. Addiction? Mmmm I think chocolate
You’re gorgeous!! And love the pb and cacao nibs. i shudder to think of a peanut-butter less day, too! i also love coffee. not an addict, but i’d rather not go a full day without 😛
I’m addicted to nut butters. There is always a jar or two open in the fridge. It is my nightly snack.
Your tennis schedule sounds like mine! I”ve been playing from 1:30-5:30 and man it is hot! Your pb cacao mix looks great, simplicity at its best!
I was JUST thinking of this!! I have to have a nut butter. Peanut Butter or Almond Butter. It’s like I can’t go a day without some!!
im the same way! ive realized i CRAVE peanut butter. Some days, its ALL that i want too eat! i find ways to incoorperate it into every meal believe it or not! im a hugeeee adict! i swear i have a problem haha.
What brand of peanut butter do you use or do you make your own?
Jessica,
I use a fresh ground peanut butter from fresh market that contains just peanuts and salt. Costco’s organic brand, and Smuckers natural is good, too. Check the ingredients to make sure there is just peanuts and salt 😀
