| 10 Pounds Of Peanuts! |
So my boys all went chasing after the moon last night only to see a cloudy sky. They loved the adventure even if they couldn't see the eclipse. I was sadly awake for that hour. So, I slept in simply because I could. I think we could all use a little extra rest right now, so I just went with it. I hate working out later in the day though because I feel like the day is wasted even though I have already gotten things accomplished. I still need to work out though. It is crappy outside and that is sucking my motivation away! I have to set times to work out when I start it later in the day...like specific times. I will be working out at 2:00. Typing it makes it more real...like I have to do it!
So, my grandmother sent me 10 lbs of raw peanuts for Christmas. Now I need ideas! I think I am going to make some "crack nuts" with peanuts instead of pecans. I am definitely going to make peanut butter...any other ideas?

Wow! What a haul. Hmm, boiled peanuts maybe? I've never tried them but I've heard they're addicting.
-
I second the boiled peanuts! Yum! Enjoy those fresh peanuts :)
-
I really hope you make some pb cookies after making peanut butter out of it... ;)
That sure is a lot, though! Good grief!
-
I ALWAYS have to tell Ryan, "I am GOING to work out tomorrow morning at ____ o'clock" or I won't do it!
Can't wait to see what you make with all those peanuts!
-
That's a whole lotta peanuts! But, considering we can go through a pound of peanut butter a week in my house, I don't think we'd have a hard time using them up. :)
-
I'm not a huge fan of peanuts, but peanut BUTTER? YES :)
-
Holy bag of nuts! Wow. What about homemade peanut butter? Or maybe some brittle.
Sometimes sleeping in trumps workouts. Actually, sleeping in typically trumps AM workouts for me ;-)
-
I have a few recipes for peanut butter cookie dough balls (raw, vegan) that use peanuts (ground) + dates, vanilla, sugar, etc. That's what I love using peanuts for.
And of course roast them, salt them, cinnamon + sugar, you name it, roasted nuts rock!
Hang in there with the craziness of the holiday season my friend ! :)
-
Glad you got some rest. You deserve it!
Nice nuts.
-
What about roasting them and then making peanut brittle - a good Christmas time treat!
-
need some help un-shelling those suckers haha <3
-
That's a heckuva' lotta' peanuts!
Way to go on allowing yourself to sleep in — What a treat! Hope you got in a workout!
-
My first thought was not "that's a lot of peanuts." it was "thats a lot of peanuts to unshell." Holy moly! haha. I think crack nuts would be great with peanuts...though you know I'd try making about 20 different variations of peanut butter :P
-
Homemade peanut butter presents for all your favorite blog friends, *ahem!* ;)
-
So many peanuts! Homemade PB!
-
I slept in today and it was much needed so I know exactly what you are talking about!! Sooo lucky you got 10lbs of peanuts ahhh :)
-
Tehe, crack peanuts. Love it. Grind and make PB muffins with jam frosting! Um, peanut granola (ooh, I think I'm gonna make that ... can I borrow some peanuts?)
-
haha that is a very useful Christmas present! You could make peanut/peanut butter granola bars! Or a stir fry with peanut in it.
-
Send those peanuts over to my dad, lol
He loves peanuts, too bad I can not handle them anymore.
HUGS

My favorite peanut recipe is a very simple pesto. I serve it over grilled shrimp & brown rice (or quinoa).
You need: peanuts, cilantro, lime, olive oil and sea salt. Here's the recipe. Enjoy!
