Mom and Dad were here this weekend and while they were getting packed up this morning, I went ahead and started making my meals. This gave Mom the chance to taste a fresh tomatillo and Dad the chance to correct my pronunciation of it (he doesn't like tomato-like products). It also gave me the chance to impress Dad with my ability to cook two meals simultaneously. He's a great multi-tasking cook, and he was proud to have passed the skills on to me.
My second recipe I found on the Bell Plantation web site. Bell Plantation makes PB2, a powdered peanut butter product that I've heard lots of people rave about on various diet/healthy living blogs. It is just ground peanuts with a bit of salt and sugar, so it is much healthier for you then the peanut butter you buy in the store. You can either mix it with water to make peanut butter or you can use it in the various recipes they have on their site. If you've been reading the blog, you know I love peanut butter, and I thought this would be both a healthier way to eat it and a simple way to control it (you only mix up enough peanut butter for one serving at a time.)
I decided to order some this week, because I've been curious about it. Mixing it with water actually makes pretty tasty peanut butter, but I also wanted to try some recipes. So I found PB2 and Pasta Bake on their website and set about making it. It wasn't until I was done that I realized the recipe never told me when to put the PB2 in! It has it listed in the ingredients, but never told me what to do with it, so it ended up being a regular old pasta dish, with no exciting peanut buttery twist. Oh well, it's still pretty good.
