Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies

I am a huge fan of peanut butter, but was never really a fan of peanut butter cookies.  This recipe has given me a change of heart.  It requires no flour so the result is a light cookie full of the classic flavors of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only way better!  In honor of Valentine's Day I made the traditional thumbprint into a heart by crisscrossing my thumb.  When packaged in these little boxes from Martha Stewart they make a perfect gift for your Valentine(s).  Hope you have a beautiful day full of love!

Triple Layer Cookie Bars

 When I noticed this recipe only consisted of six ingredients I was sold immediately.  It is no fuss, super simple and full of big taste.  All the yummy goodness of a graham cracker, coconut macaroon, and peanut butter cup are combined to create the ultimate cookie. AMAZING!

Food Porn of The Week: Nutter Butter Truffles

Peanut butter and chocolate has to be one of my favorite combinations EVER.  So, when I saw this recipe for Nutter Butter Truffles on Bakerella I had no choice, but to make them ASAP.  The beauty of this recipe is that there is no baking or measuring required at all.

The only ingredients you need are a package of Nutter Butter cookies, an 8oz bar of cream cheese and some chocolate bark.  I had semi sweet chocolate chips on hand so that is what I used instead.

These were pretty rich.  You can only eat about two or three.  I think next time I will try to mix in some actual peanut butter with the cream cheese.

Food Porn of The Week: Chicken Satay

{Its all about the sauce}
{grilled to perfection}
This recipe is perfect for an outdoor get together. The chicken tastes great thanks to a marinade consisting of fresh lemon juice and thyme, but the sauce, oh the sauce! It is so good you could eat it on its own, not that I have ever tried (wink, wink). One time I took a spoonful of the sauce and thinned it out with some rice wine vinegar and canola oil and it turned into this delicious peanut dressing.
If you try out this recipe let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure you'll love it.
