I think many would agree that peanut butter and chocolate are a delicious flavor pairing. I know it’s one of my favorite flavor combinations. Even though my family does not have the same affection for peanut butter, they like it but don’t love it, I do make recipes using the two ingredients often. Mini peanut butter filled cupcakes and peanut butter truffle cookies, which are gluten-free, are favorites. This peanut butter Bundt cake with peanut butter glaze is a peanut butter lover’s dream cake.
The cake is made from scratch and has peanut butter chips in the batter. I found the recipe in my Mom’s recipe box but I added the peanut butter glaze. The glaze would also be delicious on cupcakes or drizzled over a chocolate or peanut butter cookie. I love recipes that come together as easy as this one does. It’s perfect for a weeknight dessert, for a potluck or tailgate party on game day and impressive enough for a dinner party.
I’m excited to be a guest blogger at Yum Goggle today. You can find the recipe over at Yum Goggle where I’ve written a post about my love of peanut butter. Please go check it out!
With Labor Day here, most everywhere in the country will be back to school this week. I hear in the northeast that there is even a chill in the air. Not so here, we are sweltering in the south but we plug on to school. For the week 5 menu plan there’s lots more variety but it requires a bit of Sunday planning and preparing.
Sandwiches are a staple in many lunch boxes around the country. This week, rather than offer a sandwich, I though a nice, homemade loaf of bread would be a fun idea. This nice 
Because getting out the door on school days is a priority, and you don’t want to spend all weekend preparing items for lunches, this egg salad from Daily Dish Recipes will whip up quickly. The title alone tells you it will be a breeze to make, 
The strawberry lemonade I included a couple of weeks ago was so popular I went on the search for another beverage to include. 
In my opinion you can’t have a sandwich without chips. Theses 
If you’ve been reading my lunch box menu plans for the last few weeks, you know I love to bake and to include a treat with lunch. It’s difficult to put a frosted cupcake into a lunch so my 
I often look through my Mom’s recipe boxes and handwritten recipe journals. I pull them out many times a year. It seems like every time I do I find something I haven’t seen before. My most recent find, that I’ve never seen before, was this peanut butter truffle cookie. Not that my family has gluten issues, but it so happens this cookie is gluten free and it’s delicious. Even my peanut butter avoiding kid liked them! Honestly, I was really surprised at how delicious this cookie turned out. I suggest using your favorite chocolate chip, whether it’s semi-sweet, milk, dark or bittersweet. I wouldn’t suggest white chocolate.
I love making homemade food gifts for family and friends for the holidays. I put on Christmas music, gather my recipes and ingredients and get to work. This peanut butter fudge is always a hit and the recipient has no idea just how easy it is to make. So easy, in fact, my oldest son made this batch. He’s 13. It always makes me happy to have my boys in the kitchen. They seem to enjoy it too.
