All things Peanut Butter

The peanut, also know as arachide, cacahuete, earth almond, earth nut, goober and ground nut just to name a few of it's other names, was the focus of our cooking for lunch. Spark and I made peanut butter banana milk shakes and peanutty nachos. Dancer made peanut soup. The yummy recipes are as follows.


Peanutty Nachos

tortilla chips
1 tbsp. peanut butter
5 tbsp. salsa
Shredded cheese


Mix peanut butter and salsa together. Lay out tortilla chips on a cookie sheet. Place a dolp of salsa mix on each chip and sprinkle with a bit of cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven for 4 minutes.


We were surprised at how good these were and will for sure make them again.


Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake


5 tbsp. peanut butter
1 tbsp. honey
3 scoops chocolate ice cream
1 small banana
1 cup cold milk

Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.


This was very, very rich. The kids loved it though.



Peanut Butter Soup


2 stalks of celery
1 carrot
1 small onion
2 tbsp. butter

This was so good and it was quick.
