Peanut Butter Winners & Links to a Healthy Weekend

March 21, 2009

Before I post my favorite reads of the week I need to admit that I’m a little late in sharing the winners of the Great Peanut Butter Exhibition # 5 – Sandwiches. If you haven’t had a chance to head over The Peanut Butter Boy to see the results, I have listed them below.

Congratulations to all the winners! Even if you didn’t enter, click on over see all the wonderful new peanut butter recipes to try.

First Place: Peanut Butter and Caramel Smores by Brilynn at Jumbo Empanadas

Second Place: The Dunkin Ultimate PB Sammie by the husband of MaryBeth from Dunkin Cookin

There was a 4-way tie for Third place!

Maple-Date PB Belgian Wafflewich from Amy at Coffee Talk. (This was my personal favorite of the contest.)
L’eggo my PB & Pumpkin by Bodyblogger. Check out the recipe on Nick’s post.
Master of Faster Asian Kale Wrap with Tamari-Peanut Spread by Jeremy, a new blogger, from Red Chair Cooking
Cinna-Spiced Chicken PB Wrap from Brandi at Bran Appetit

************************************

Okay, as if that isn’t enough wonderful links for this weekend, here come some more. This was one of those weeks where I found myself bookmarking page after page of good stuff. I had to narrow it down a bit to keep from making your read on all day, but here you go!

Rebecca’s everyday foods had a unique recipe for Peach Biscuit Soup. I’d never seen anything quite like it and it sounds delicious.

The plans for the White House organic garden were released in a New York Times article this week. Such an exciting project and there is all kinds of cool stuff on the planting list.

Compost and Its Rewards on The Epi-Log was a great review and personal account about using an indoor composter.

Two Peas and Their Pod featured a recipe for Snickerdoodle Blondies this week. I don’t think I need to say anymore about that winning combination. Yum!

Contests and Giveaways:

Savor the Thyme has the cutest contest going with her challenge for foodies to use Peeps as the inspiration for some culinary creations.

Diet, Dessert and Dogs is showing off her brand new site design (great!) and giving away the organic maple syrup she reviewed this week.

    Thanks for the great links! I really enjoyed the indoor composting one, and am now looking into this for myself. Do you compost at all, and if so, what has your experience been? Also, those peanut butter recipes are amazing…especially the peanut butter and caramel smores. Wow. (The PB Sammie looked a little scary to me, however…) Enjoy your weekend!

    All of the PB entries were awesome! Thanks for all the great links. I’m off to check some of them out. Have a great weekend!

    Thanks everyone. How awesome were the PB winners?! I love having all those recipes!

    Sapuch – I’ve never composted myself. Right now we live in a high rise apt with no access to a garden. My father has a compost pile for his garden, but I’m not educated on the ins and outs of it yet. I plan to have one when we leave Brazil and that is why this indoor option looks ideal to me. Seems like it would make it easier for someone with just a small garden without a lot of yard space. The sammie scared me a bit too. I think I’d have to go sans miracle whip. 🙂

    Congratulations on the PB winners – I could kick myself for not getting on the ball with my idea. I still plan to make it; I’ll post it as a delayed entry.

    Thanks again for the this weekend’s links!
