    PB2 -- regular and chocolate. Google it. I love it -- hubby prefers it to regular peanut butter.

    Basically, they kept what was left of the peanut after they pressed all the oil out of it. It's a powder and you just take 2 Tablespoons of the stuff and add 1 Tablespoon of water and, voila, it's just like peanut butter minus the oil. And instead of 190 calories, it's 45 and still has the protein of the peanut -- just not the fat.

    Sure, the fats in peanut butter are healthy and I still eat the non-hydrogenated varieties of peanut butter, but for those days where I've had plenty of healthy fats and want peanut butter without the calories, it's a life saver!! Makes a kick-@#$@ chocolate peanut butter protein shake and a darned good PBJ sandwich as well.

    Yummo!

    I was about to post the exact same question. :0) I just tried Kabocha Squash (Japanese Pumpkin) last night, delicious! I'm going to try to make quinoa shortly.

    Thanks for the info! I love peanut so much but didn't like it has too much fat.

    I tried kale in stir fry. Tried a recipe... cranberry lentil salad with walnuts and feta cheese= was very good.
    Also tried a fruit salad of pomegranite, blueberries and mangos... so addictive I could eat it every day.

    On their website there's a store finder. That's how I found a Market Street grocery near my home where they sold it (and it was almost sold out!). Or you can order it online if you don't have a local store. BTW -- my hubby is addicted to this stuff.

    Raw almonds instead of my Smokehouse almonds. They have no sodium. Go figure.

    Wow--there's alot of great ideas out there. Have always been "afraid" of hummus, but may just give it a try. Love squash but don't make it too often for my family (used to bake it and blend it into baby food for my daughter--store in freezer ice cube trays--but that's another topic I guess!) :)

    OK--Kale Chips? Where would you even get these? Never tried soy milk, but the almond milk is good (vanilla flavor I've put in my coffee--YUM).


    Thanks--and keep those ideas coming!

    New to me as an adult. Yellow squash and beans. As a child I would get in trouble for spitting out my squash at the dinner table. YUCK! Now I will make stir fry with it. Zucchini & squash spaghetti. I just love it.

    Beans...ewwwwww. Anything that was mushy when you chewed it with skin was just YUCK! Now I will make a bean salad in a minute and tear it up!

    You still can't get me to eat eggs though :noway:

    A friend took me out for lunch at an Asian restaurant Monday, and these were new to me, and good. Go figure!

    I also tried venison for the first time on Sunday. I don't know if it's good for you or not, but at least I tried it. Thumbs down. Didn't care for it.
