Health knowledge made personal
 Happy Friday! Today I have a very, very, special post for you! On many Sundays throughout the year we go to my mom's house to have "Sunday dinner". It is basically something we have done since I was young. We gather at my mom's house to have (at the very minimum) pasta and meatballs. (Of course it usually involves lots of bread, sausage, mozzarella and lots of gluttony.) This past Sunday it was only 5 of us (since my sister, and 2 cousins are away at college) yet we had food to feed probably 10 people. My Uncle Tommy usually does most of the grunt work (he lovesss to bringlotsof appes) and my mom will make the sauce and meatballs. This was an extra special Sunday (for no reason at all) because he brought one of our very favorite desserts....PEANUT BUTTER LUMPS. After eating a couple of lumps I told Uncle Tommy he had to guest blog! Even though peanut butter lumps are not a "good choice" we can't always be good 100% of the time! We have to treat ourselves in moderation, so here is your moderation! Enjoy Uncle Tommy's guest blog - he has lots more to share, so hopefully he will be back! As Nicole's favorite Uncle I was thrilled when she asked me to guest blog on her page. You all must know me, she talks about me allllllllllllll the time, it's Uncle Tommy!!!! One of my favorite things to do is to cook and bake for my family and friends. I especially like to try to satisfy everyone by making a variety of either appetizers, side dishes or desserts in an effort to please the challenging taste buds of this crazy family. I should have been a party planner because I so enjoy the whole process of arranging eating frenzies be it a birthday celebration, a wedding, or a typical Sunday dinner! The recipe that follows is usually saved for special occasions, such as Christmas, and certainly would not be considered a healthy choice. Eaten in moderation, everyone deserves a little treat every once in a while. Hope you enjoy my Peanut Butter Lumps! Ingredients: 2 eggs 1/3 cup water 1/4 cup butter softened 1 cup peanut butter 1 yellow cake mix 12 oz chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, water, butter and peanut butter with electric or stand mixer. Add 1/2 cake mix and stir well. Add remaining half of cake mix and chocolate chips. Mix well. Scoop into "lumps" on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. So there it is! If it weren't for Uncle Tommy, half of my wedding wouldn't have been done! He is chock full of creative talent and that's why we love him! I could play around to try and make these a little healthy, but then they wouldn't be Uncle Tommy's Peanut Butter Lumps! Enjoy these (in moderation!)  |
