Peanut Butter Bars

Who doesn't love a good PB&J sandwich?

I found Peanut Butter Bar recipe online, and I copied it down. However, I forgot to bookmark the blog!! =[ I'm quite upset about this, but I don't know if I will be able to find it again via google. I found it randomly.

Anyway. I wanted to make something for my Spanish class, so I decided on these. They are vegan (of course), gluten free, and oh so delicious! They remind me of a PB&J!

Old Fashioned Oats, Walnuts, Peanut Butter, Preserves, Agave, Apple Cider Vinegar

In bowl, 1 cup peanut butter, about 1/4 cup agave (complete guess, I don't know how much I used. The original recipe called for 1 cup sugar, but I nixed that and replaced it with agave), and 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar.

Mix.

Spread on greased sheet.

Add a second layer using the fruit preserves. You could get fancy and even use apple butter or something of that nature. I will make these again and get experimental. I used peach, strawberry, and double berry (blend of marionberry and raspberry).

In bowl, mix 1/2 cup peanut butter with... less than 1/4 cup agave? I just guessed on measurements. Sorry for my lack of certainty.

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats- 1/2 cup.

Walnuts...

Chopped (1/2 cup).

Mix.

Spread on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 350.

Cut. And enjoy.

Salad

I love eating raw foods typically in the day time. At night, when I cook, the food is easier to digest and my body likes me better. However, raw is the way to go because the food has the most nutrients.

Here is the salad I had today. One word: Bomb!

Spring Salad mix, mushrooms, almonds, flax, wheat germ, nutritional yeast, and this amazing dressing:

Also, on the side I had apple slices and carrots with all natural peanut butter.

Stir Fry Series- Nutty "Citrus" Stir Fry

Today was interesting in the kitchen. Kaegan was ALL OVER THE PLACE and it made it difficult to work efficiently. However, the meal turned out lovely.

I found a wonderful recipe on vegweb.com and adapted it slightly.

Lovely produce.

Lovely bag of organic brown basmati rice

Lovely organic tofu.

cabbage, onion, mushroom, kale, ginger



During this moment, I was making the sauce but neglected to photograph it because I began to act frantically; I didn't want to burn the stir fry and Kaegan was clinging onto my leg. It was interesting.

Anyhow, the sauce consisted of:

scant 1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice wine

2 tablespoons peanut butter

Lemon juice (recipe calls for orange, but I didn't have any)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Yum. Very tasty.
