Homemade Peanut Butter

The Hubs bought me a professional Ninja blender for Christmas. I honestly don't know if we have gone 1 day without using it. It is so powerful I can now put carrots in my smoothies :-) This may not seem like a big deal, but I LOVE carrots and they have nutrients in them that make your mood happy. Can't beat that! Anyhow...  I have been wanting to try my hand at making peanut butter, so today I just had my boys at home and I thought it would be fun.

 It was so easy! 

Homemade Peanut Butter:
2 cups peanuts
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp honey

Just blend it up on medium for about 2-3 min scrapping the sides about every 25 seconds. Then hurry up and make some toast so you can put it on there warm out of the blender :-)

Fresh Flowers


I am a sucker for fresh flowers.

Fortunately for me Trader Joes sells them super inexpensively so I buy some EVERY. TIME. I. SHOP.  I would recommend it. I call it "plant therapy". Makes a soul happy :-)
