Hey guys! Happy Friday to you!
I hope you had a wonderful week or just happy that the work part of it is over if you didn’t.
So, traditionally on Fridays I post about five things I am loving lately. This time this post happens to fall on the same day as my Foodie Pen Pals Reveal Day, so I am going to tell you all about that in the form of Five on Friday post! 2 in 1. Behold!
This month I was paired with Andrea from TN! After a quick exchange the boxes were on the way. Before I knew it – mine has arrived:
The box was sooo big!
So, here we go – things I got in my wonderful box!
{{ONE}} PB2
If you live in the woods (like me), you’ve never heard of such a thing as powdered peanut butter 🙂 PB in my family is a sensitive subject – because everyone is addicted to it. We try not to buy it because it disappears faster than we remember that we’re trying to eat healthy. The only time I buy it is when I need it for cooking (seriously!)…But before I can even start thinking about cooking with PB – it disappears.
So – this thing here is a perfect solution to my problem! Those PB addicts will not eat powder (I know that because it has been sitting in my kitchen cabinet for 2 weeks now and nobody touched it).
{{TWO}} Bob’s Red Mill – Hot Cereal
Another first for me and look how wonderful it is to have it for breakfast!
{{THREE}} Sweet Potato Chips
I LOVE sweet potatoes! In any form and shape and size.
Omnomnom!
This is how much I got to have of them before they vanished…mysteriously
{{FOUR}} Wasabi Peas
These had to be donated to the husband – turned out to be too spicy for me. He was very happy!
{{FIVE}} Pot Holder and Bag Clips
Even though you don’t have to send anything but food, Andrea was so kind to include these wonderful presents for me!
All in all, look what a great box I got from Andrea:

Stay fit and have fun, guys!
Sweet potatoes are the bomb dot com. I could totally eat them every day! What’s that PB2 like? I’ve seen it in the store and have seen some recipes that call for it but I’m not sold. I’m majorly addicted to peanut butter (hmm…..I wonder what peanut butter and sweet potato would taste like together?) and a powdered PB is just odd to me. Is it mostly for cooking? What have you used it for?
On another note, I am never able to like your blog posts because the like button never loads. That makes me very sad. 🙁
Jen.
I’d say it is mostly for cooking. so far I have been adding it to my smoothies – tastes just like the regular PB would.
I’ll try it in baking and let you know how it works out.
Thanks for letting me know about the like button – will check on it!
