  2. Total hippie snack! For an even better treat: grill it like a grilled cheese sandwich using some cooking spray. Melty gooey pb with honey and banana .... sighhhh! Foodgasm! Thanks for posting. I have done every combo of "pb & ...." but had never thought of sunflower seeds!

  4. OMG!!!! Peanut Butter, honey, banana, raisins, sunflower seeds!!! How can you go wrong?! SO easy to make and tastes AMAZING!!! Absolutely LOVED it. Didn't change a thing! The raisins, banana and honey gave it PLENTY of sweetness and the sunflower seeds gave it a little bit of crunch. Thank you Vino, this recipe has become a standard in my house.
     
  5. I love this recipe Vino. I had some on toast this a.m. and used an antioxidant blend of dried berries from Sunsweet in replacement of the raisins. This is such a versatile recipe that you could virtually add any type of nut or sliced fruit too. I love the honey/p.b. conbination. I am hosting TOTM and it's Breakfasts on the Go. This fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for a lovely recipe.!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
