Those peanut butter yogurt cravings come nightly, but it has been getting costly to keep sending Ben to the yogurt place around the corner to fetch me some, so I decided I needed to another way to satisfy these nutty cravings. After dinner last night, I quickly went online looking for a good peanut butter cookie recipe. I came across this one from Smitten Kitchen and decided that would be the one to try!
Wowee! It is good. Really good. Or maybe that is the hormonal mama talking. I had to tweak a few things because as I was mixing, I realized I had no vanilla extract so I went on food subs to find a substitute (amazing site by the way), but realized I didn't have anything to substitute still, so then we went digging and found some vanilla vodka in the pantry, so I put a teaspoon of that in! HA! The cookies taste good, so I guess that works as a good substitute.
Now I got a whole batch of cookies and one person to share it with... Brave! Not that she will complain about that. Ben isn't a fan of peanut buttery things unless it is a pb&j sandwich, True is allergic to peanuts, and we don't give Soul cookies willy nilly just yet. Between Brave and me these cookies will be gone in a flash!
Speaking of hormonal, I think maybe all these nutty things have made me nutty. Ben called me yesterday on the way home and said he wanted to work out for 15 minutes. I threw a fit! I wasn't prepared for that. It didn't turn into much of a fight because he didn't do it, but it was kind of funny. Somehow him telling me that, made me a grump. So weird. Then, when we were talking I started crying. About what? I don't even remember. Plus, I have been extra clingy and wanting cuddling. I am already a cuddler as it is, so the fact I want more is hilarious. As soon as Ben gets home, I am up in his grill and trying to make out with him all the time. Hormonal much? Yeah. I think so.
All this to say... have a great day folks! Try to not be as nutty as me...
ooo these sound so, so good right now!! i'm definitely going to have to give these a try soon... i've really been craving both cookies & peanut butter :)

ReplyDeleteI use this recipe because I crave peanut butter cookies pretty much daily...yours look pretty yum too so I might just whip up a batch tonight ;)
I totally went through that clingy, cuddly phase during my pregnancy! And I am not usually like that, so my husband was a little freaked out!
ReplyDeletehahaha that's an adorable kind of nutty!
ReplyDeleteso funny, i made some peanut butter cookies yesterday, but the girls didn't like them and i didn't want to be a big fatty on my own, so i sent them with my hubs to share with his friends at work. i hope they like them.
ReplyDeleteThose look so delicious!!! Yum :)
ReplyDeleteIt's my first visit to your blog and I love it! <3
HA, HA!
ReplyDeleteI was about to try the recipe because I love PB cookies, but then I got to the nutty part. Hee, just kidding, I will still try it. I was super nutty when I was pregnant...come to think of it I am still a little nutty even when I'm not.
Gotta go bake!
i love smitten kitchen!
ReplyDeletePoor Ben! Haha. At least he knows you love him lots!
Um, I act hormonal all the time, not just when I'm pregnant. I love when you keep arguing that you're right and he's wrong for so long that you forget what actually set you off in the first place. Oops, that was pointless! I also have moments where I need to be reminded that I'm loved and given some extra cuddles, but I have learned that's how women are. Men know they are loved because you told them once; women need to hear it again and again. :)
ReplyDeletethose look AND sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou're pretty funny, too!
My hubs is peanut allergic like your girl. I need an excuse to eat some pb cookies! You've got me craving for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is nearly six months old and I'm still most definitely nutty! I understand those weird snaps over something seemingly trivial - sometimes your threshold for the unexpected is lower than normal. And that's totally ok!!
ReplyDeletePlus, I completely dig peanut butter and choc cookies too. These are super dooper easy and if slghtly undercooked stay chewy. http://lavenderexperiment.blogspot.com/2011/05/hey-there-distraction-thanks-for.html

ReplyDeleteHang in there! I think it's great that Ben wants to work out... it keeps him sane and believe me... it's nice to have a fit husband when you get a little older!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour pregnant nuttiness sounds hilarious! I have been known to just spread peanut butter onto a digestive biscuit, or two...
