PEANUT BUTTER SHAKE

In a "Food Cures" book is stated that recent research now proves that peanut butter is actually very good for you. It's healthy monounsaturated fat - eaten as the main fat in a sensible diet - can lower your risks for heart disease and diabetes. And even help you lose weight! So why not try this delicious healthy drink that is quick and easy to fix. In a blender, whip together 1 cup fat-free milk, 1 small ripe banana, 2 tbsp. toasted wheat germ, and 2 tbsp. peanut butter.

We sure didn't eat very healthy today. I guess it's like taking a day off. Bill, Marcy and I had several errands to run this afternoon. One happened to be near Ferrando's Italian Pizzeria which I had heard had great pizza and I had never tried it before. Marcy had been there before and Ricky had told me a few days ago how great their pizza is. We ended up there after a few more errands. And we didn't stop there. Marcy was a bad influence and we went next door to the Marble Slab Creamery for some ice cream. Yummmmy!! We'll get back on the right track tomorrow. Now I am resting and letting all that food digest. I should be exercising, but, that is not going to happen!! Anyhow, goodnight and may you have a peaceful night.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
