Smoothie Sunday: Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie
I realize this smoothie is pretty similar to the peanut butter and jelly smoothie that I posted last year. But blueberry jelly is less popular than strawberry jelly, so I decided that it deserved its own post. The inspiration for this smoothie came from my putting blueberries on peanut butter toast. It’s very yummy, but it can be a bit tricky to eat. This smoothie has all the flavor without fear of blueberries rolling off of bread.
Most of what you’ll need.
The Cereal Report (Classic): Reese’s Puffs
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
So Reese’s Puffs are nothing new, they’ve been around for about twenty years, but admittedly I don’t eat them all that often. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually eaten them, and last time I did was probably in high school. I recall not liking them very much. So I figured I’d give them another shot since they were on sale recently; maybe my adult tastes have become a bit more receptive of this blatant kid’s cereal, who knows.
Pizza Lab #26: Peanut Butter Cup Pizza
Chocolate and peanut butter, peanut butter and chocolate – it’s one of the world’s best flavor combinations to ever come into creation. The first person to combine the two should have won a Nobel Prize for their work towards bettering the Earth. Now, considering that Erik and I both love the peanut butter/chocolate combo and pizza, it’s kind of surprising it took us almost two years of doing Pizza Labs to make a peanut butter cup pizza. Luckily the wait is now over because for February that’s exactly what we decided to do.
We agreed early on in the month that we should do a dessert pizza in honor of Valentine’s Day. Considering it was one of our newest ideas, we pretty quickly settled on the peanut butter cup pizza. Also it has a lot of chocolate and chocolate and Valentine’s Day goes together. A combination (pizza and peanut butter cups) with a flavor combination (chocolate and peanut butter) that we love in honor of Valentine’s Day. What could be more perfect?
Quick Recipe: Peanut Butter & Jelly Pancakes
Let’s talk peanut butter and jelly. We’ve all eaten it many times before, and for good reason. The PB&J sandwich is a legendary food thanks to its nutritional viability, quick prep time, and simple enjoyable flavor combination. There’s not many foods out there you can whip together in 30 seconds that will supply you with a good dose of protein, carbs, and sugar all in one go. What I’m getting at is peanut butter & jelly sandwiches rock.
But have you ever considered taking this old standby in a new, more breakfast-oriented direction? That’s where pancakes come in. Peanut butter & jelly pancakes work surprisingly well when you melt the peanut butter right into the batter, as opposed to just slapping the two condiments on between layers. When it’s cooked in like that, it actually creates a more mellow flavor since it’s now part of the cakey pancakes, but something about it is more satisfying, due to the more… ‘compound’ flavor you’re created. Don’t worry, it still tastes like peanut butter & jelly, just ever so slightly different, and awesome in its own right.
The Snack Report: Reese’s Peanut Butter Oreos
When it comes to licensing brand names to things, obviously Oreo is no stranger to the game. Oreos has lent itself into candy bars, cereal, ice cream, and lots of other random products that made use of its formula and name. On the other side of the spectrum is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which has also licensed itself out. Its sidequests include cookies, cereal, ice cream, and lots of other random products. Holy shit! It’s like they’re connected!
Da da da daaa.
