I ended up being too lazy to go get a snack, to the point where I actually didn’t eat anything until my late (8:30) dinner. In college Adam and I used to joke that I was too lazy to ever get fat, but I guess that doesn’t apply when your apartment is 5feet from a bar with jalapeno nachos!! 😀
Dinner was all about that new jar of peanut butter.
How good does that look?!? Parsnip fries, OIAJ bases, pasta, is there nothing nut butters can’t do?
I basically made a single serving of my Easy Peasy Peanut Noodles.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat. Add in half a chopped yellow squash, half a chopped zucchini, s&p, and 1/2cup water. Cover and cook for 5-8minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the veggies are done to your liking place them on a separate plate, taking care to dump out any extra water left in the pan.
- Heat 1T evoo in the pan. Add 1 serving cooked linguine and cook 3-5minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the pasta to start to brown and get a bit crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together 2T chunky peanut butter, 1T rice vinegar, 1T tamari, and 1t sugar. If your peanut butter is very firm you might want to give it 30seconds in the microwave before added the other ingredients. I like to do this step in my dinner bowl so the sauce that sticks to the sides doesn’t get wasted.
- Add the veggies back into the pan with the pasta. Pour the sauce over the pasta and veggies and carefully fold it in with a wooden spoon until everything is coated.
I ended up with a huge, delicious plate of food.
The balance of sweet and savory in the recipe is spot on. If you aren’t vegan, I would also recommend scrambling in an egg at the last minute.
I may have been too lazy for a snack, but dessert is definitely on my horizon! I’ll update later if I end up eating anything else.
*****Updated to add – we had to go move the car so I decided to make a trip to the Co-op to pick up the essentials; i.e. more vegan yogurt to eat watermelon with 🙂 I did also grab dessert.
Rice Dream Mocha Pie, done and done.
This question has been all over blogworld recently but it fits with this post – what is your favorite way to eat peanut butter?
Eating Chalk 
I’ve been interested in the pb sauces, but have yet to make a dish that I think would compliment it well… looks like yours turned out well!
And I really love peanut butter in oatmeal. Which I feel like may be a standard answer- but there’s a total reason for it!
I love PB with sweets…like chocolate or blended into raw desserts.
That mocha pie looks interesting!
I am not a huge pb girl but have really been diggin them in my green monsters as of late.
mMmM grocery essentials must include vegan ice cream for sure! i always tend to go for mocha chocolate flavors, something about them; im not sure u can go wrong with the combo 😉
my favorite way to eat peanut butter is on a slice of bread with tea 🙂 .. and maybe a little berry jam over for company hehe
