Peanut butter is one of the most common proteins found in cupboards and food boxes. I am totally guilty of sneaking a big spoonful from the jar when hungry in a hurry. We always have peanut butter around, because if nothing else, you can spread it on bread or crackers for a filling snack. Lately I have been trying to find other ways to use peanut butter. One thing my kids discovered was stirring peanut butter, cocoa powder and powdered sugar into oatmeal. It is a popular snack here right now. Sometimes they slice bananas into it too. Making this post has reminded me of a few yummy things we haven't eaten in a while, looking forward to making our next meal plan!
Here is a list of links to other quick meals that use peanut butter:
Chicken Satay noodles -both of these recipes call for whole wheat pasta, but regular can be used
Peanut Chicken Stir fry -calls for rice noodles, but regular pasta or rice can be used
Sweet and Spicy Peanut Chicken- I am going to try this one next week since we have an open jar of pepper jelly we got for Christmas
Thai Chicken Wraps - I want to try this one too!
Here are some other ways to use peanut butter-
Peanut butter and jelly french toast- make a pb&j sandwich, coat in beaten egg and cook like french toast
Peanut butter syrup- warm peanut butter up in a small pot and thin with a little water, add a little sugar to make it sweeter
