Recommended Reading
I told my foodservice professor about the Great Thanksgiving Challenge yesterday and she recommended this book – More With Less – as a great resource for healthy and frugal cooking. It includes 500 recipes from Mennonite kitchens. I’m going to check it out the next time I’m in a bookstore and add it to my Christmas list. Apparently over 80 people swear by it on Amazon!
Gina’s Treats
Lastly, here are Gina’s recipes for the Banana Bread + Macaroons 🙂
100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread
(adapted from http://www.lowfatlifestyle.com/breads/breadrecipes/wholewheatbananabread.htm)
Servings: 48
Makes: 2 loaves• 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cup Sucanat (or brown sugar of your choice)
• 1 cup golden raisins (I like using them instead of walnuts.. lower calories and more sweetness!)
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon nutmegPreheat oven to 350°F. Spray glass loaf pans (2 – 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5) with cooking oil spray.
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet. Stir until blended but don’t overmix. Pour into loaf pans.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 5 – 8 minutes. Remove from loaf pans and cool completely. Slice and serve. Wrap with plastic wrap keep moist.
Raw Blonde Macaroons
(Borrowed from Gina’s friend Chef Megan!)
Servings: 24-36 cookies
3 cups dried, unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds
1 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 tbs vanilla (or 1/2 tbs vanilla, 1/2 tbs almond extract)
1/2 tsp salt
*Combine in a large bowl. Using a small icecream scoop or tablespoon, spoon rounds of dough on dehydrator screens. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 12-24 hours until crisp on outside, chewy on inside.
**For chocolate, replace almond flour with 1 1/2 cup cocoa powder (preferably raw).

crissy says
nut butter is my favorite right off the spoon…especially if it is crunchy! but other fabulous ways that I incorporate it in my life (ok ok i may have a minor addiction), in the oats, with bananas, apples, crackers, and even sometimes in yogurt… but really it’s the best just plain off the spoon!
Kate says
Brigid – a whole wheat pumpkin bagel. Where did you find these? I’m intrigued!
I like nut butter with everything. Everything. But I suppose on toasty banana bread probably takes the cake. (Or bread. Ha.) One of my fave desserts is also PB, honey, and chocolate chips on a tortilla, warmed up and melty.
Kailz says
The question is, what don’t I like nut butter with? lol. I love to eat it with apples, carrots, cereal, yogurt, banana, waffles, english muffins, wraps, sammies…etc.

Caroline says
my latest obsession is with van’s gluten free blueberry waffles, just a smear of any kind of nut butter, fold it in half and out the door!
Julie says
My two favorite ways to eat nut butter include chocolate! As a nod to today’s historical election, I’ve named my concotions the Obama Pop and Barackatizers.
Obama Pop:
Take a big, messy spoonful of nut butter and plunge it in a bag of dark chocolate chips. Remove and enjoy your Obama Pop.
Barackatizers:
Slice a banana and lay each slice flat on a plate. Put a dollop on nut butter on each slice and top slices wtih one chocolate chip.
Emily says
I like nut butters on anything warm that will make it extra gooey and melty. Mmmm… off to make a bowl of oatmeal with natural PB on top!
Holly says
So not an original idea, but I love it on bananas! 🙂
Erin says
Really, is there anything that it’s not good on? Ever since I starting reading your blog it for sure goes in my oatmeal…and on waffles for a little extra protein to keep me full longer!

abbie says
I love to dip sliced apples sprinkled with cinnamon into nut butter then top it off with a raisin.
Annie says
I think the better question is “what DON’T I like to eat nut butter with” I love it in my oatmeal, on crackers, on rice cakes, on banana bread, on bananas, on apples…I think you get the picture! And when I’m not spreading it on something, I am eating something peanut butter flavored! I just LOVE this stuff!! And I love KERF!!

My favorite way is to melt peanut butter with a few chocolate chips in the microwave and use it as a dip for apples. So delicious!
And of course, I think oatmeal tastes bland without it. 🙂
Charlie Hills says
TracyJ: I thought I was the only one who did that. And check this out. Someone at work brought in a bottle of sugar free Caramel syrup for coffee. I hate coffee, but what I really want to try is hot chocolate, peanut butter, and that syrup. It’ll be like drinking a Snickers.

gretchen says
is “scooped up on a spoon from the jar” too uncreative? hehe 🙂

oh yey another contest! I love nut butters. Mostly I’m boring and eat them on toast but when I really want to treat myself my favorite indulgence is dipping oreo cookies into peanut butter. Soooooooo lip licking good.

Jessica says
I love nut butters spread on an english muffin with sliced banana!
Rose says
For some it’s PB and Jelly…. for me, it’s PB and OJ.
May sound strange but my favorite way to eat nut butter is with oatmeal AND orange juice. I really like the combination of nut butter + OJ.
(Don’t knock it until you try it!)
megan says
I love almond butter on a toasted Ezekiel english muffin with raspberry preserves or pumpkin butter. Not too exciting, but it’s so good!
Ann says
Actually, it was your blog that got me turned on to putting peanut butter into my oatmeal. I tried it in cereal for the first time today and LOVED it. I don’t think I can go back to eating either of those things without PB anymore!
Plus there’s nut butter on bananas, apples, toast with cinnamon on top, alone, with chocolate… The list goes on and on.
Suzanne says
i love peanut butter on bread/toast. love PBJ sandwiches too!

On bread with Nutella for a great dessert!
Caroline Y. says
I have countless ways to eat nut butters, and I love it on almost everything: on yogurt, waffles, with cereal, oatmeal, apples, banana, pancakes, toast, kashi crackers…the list goes on. I’d love to give barney butter a try though!
Nicole says
My university knows the importance of nut butters… For example: peanut butter, sunflower butter, macadamia nut butter and some type of soy butter are all served. However, we don’t have almond butter… Put a tbs of nut butter in a bowl and microwave until its melted. Then take a toasted bagel and brush the butter on top. It’s great in this form.
Julie says
I love eating nut butter straight form the jar!! But it’s also good on a banana or better yet…a nut butter banana sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread grilled on the foreman…mmmm
brandi says
I love it on toasted mini bagels and english muffins.
Pick me – I can’t find Barney Butter anywhere near me!
Amanda says
I love that trail mix from Trader Joe’s! It’s one of my favorites 🙂
I love nut butter on kashi crackers or with carrots. I’m not too imaginative. Sometimes I put chocolates and AB on toast…Yum!
brandi says
I LOVE making grilled nut butter/jam sandwiches.
Make a pb&j, almond butter & j, OR nutella & j sandwich and grill like you would a grilled cheese.
The nut butter gets all hot and melty. It is SO good with a glass of cold milk.
Danielle says
nut butter on a banana! mmmm breakfast of champions.
Barbara says
Hi Kath-
Well I am a complete PB FREAK!!! My favorite old bad habit was a jar of soy PB topped with honey kept in the freezer. Jar+spoon equals HEAVEN…and some extra lbs:(
These days I have to be careful with PB.
Have a great day girly!
Babs
Amanda in Pittsburgh says
I LOVE nut butter on toast…as SOON as it comes from the toaster, so the nut better melts! <3
Heather McD says
I put almond butter on everything. Just had some in my Irish oats. Also love it with baby carrots or slapped on a warm grilled chicken breast. It melts and makes a nice alternative to sugary peanut sauces.

Toast! It brings me right back to childhood.

I love using it to make Thai sauces in recipes – so good mixed with soy sauce and Sriracha!

Any Nut Butter with Jelly on a soft, yet hearty whole wheat bread is the way to go!!
Jen says
I’ve always loved peanut butter on bread/fruit/celery/ pretty much anything… but am not an almond butter lover.

mags says
peanut butter on banana bread!!
Em says
I love almond butter on a whole wheat bagel with a drizzle of honey! Perfect weekend breakfast.

Michele says
I love Peanut Butter smeared on slices of banana – delish! 😉

Really? You have Barney Butter to give away? Oh please, oh please let it be me! I can’t find anywhere around here that carries it… I had a nut butter and banana sandwich last night. It was amazing!
Angela says
Confession: I can hardly EVER get nut butter of any kind ON or WITH anything else. My spoon has a mind of it’s own and before I know it, it’s gone. I’m addicted. According to Urban Dictionary, a peanut butter addict is…someone who loves peanut butter more than anything else in the world. Will eat any amount of peanut butter to satisfy their crazy craving for the stuff. Similar to a crackhead needing more crack.
I’m humbled. That’s me. And no, freezing it doesn’t work. I just chisel it out of the jar. 🙂
I need Barney Butter. Minnesota is deprived.
Kate says
I love it anyway I can get it down my gullet. Go nut butter.
melanie says
pb and strawberry jam together on a spoon…no need for the bread! or on toast with banana and little bit of honey. yum!

Esmeralda says
Years ago I saw this recipe for a peanut butter, sliced apple, and bacon sandwich. It sounded interesting so I just had to try it. It was absolutely delicious. The combination of textures (crispy/crunchy/gooey) and tastes (salty/sweet/tart) is a winner in my book. Good peanut butter, juicy apples, and crisp bacon are the keys to an awesome sandwich. The first time my husband saw me make one, he looked at me apprehensively and said, “Are you pregnant?”
Thanks for the banana bread recipe. I use an almost identical recipe with these differences:
1 cups oats and 1 1/2 cup WW flour instead of 2 1/2 cups WW flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar instead of 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking soda instead of 1 tsp, and I make 18 regular-sized muffins instead of a loaf.

I eat it plain on a spoon, on top of graham crackers, on top of ice cream, stirred into yogurt or even cottage cheese… I eat it in sandwiches, on top of toast, and on top of almost any dessert!

HeatherDee says
I’m deathly allergic to peanuts, but I can eat almonds with no trouble – the fact that Barney Butter is peanut free is SO AMAZING for those of us that have been out of the ‘butter’ loop for all these years! 🙂 I’m now addicted to Barney Butter, it’s the best thing ever!

I eat it because I am addicted to the stuff…seriously. The funny thing is I used to hate the stuff. I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole, that is until I discovered how good peanut butter and chocolate really was. I can’t go a day without it. Plus, it is an easy way to incorporate healthy fats and non-animal sources of protein into my diet.

I’ve been a huge fan of Barney Butter from the beginning. Whoever hasn’t tried it, has got to–it’s at Whole Foods and tons of specialty groceries. if yours doesn’t have it, ask for it. My kids and all their friends are addicted to Barney Butter and chocolate chips. Perfect after school… Oh, and my son makes insane Barney Butter cookies with no flour (oatmeal is the binder). Put ice cream in between and it is like an It’s It ice cream sandwich.
Jenn says

elizabeth says
Definitely check out More With Less– it got me through a year of volunteering and living in community (on a very limited food stipend!) Check out the lentil burgers, sweet & sour lentils, German potato soup, and refrigerator bran muffins. It also has some great granola recipes. Lentils, rice, and rolled oats are your friends when cooking on a budget– though you already seem to appreciate that! Good luck with the challenge!
