Last night the boyfriend and I had plans to celebrate his sister's birthday, but we ended up celebrating something else as well! Which totally surprised us!
Any type of celebration is a great excuse for me to bake. I baked up regular cookies instead of gluten free so I didn't eat them all before we got there haha! Anyone remember the show Arthur? Every morning during second grade I would watch an episode before school. So when I saw these in the store, I knew I wanted to bake them up.
Since I didn't bake them from scratch, I wanted to spruce up plain chocolate chip. After searching my cabinets for some type of mix-in, I went with PB2. It was my first time trying it in cookies. From what I heard it was a hit!
We ended up driving right at sunset and it was absolutely gorgeous.This picture doesn't even do it justice. It was also the first spring sunset! Good-bye winter.
Once we got there for dessert, her cat, Ziggy, was just fine being sprawled out in front of the tv.
Please don't tell me about the Americans yet, I didn't get to watch it since we got home late last night from the party. Was it good though? Last week's episode I thought was alright, but nothing too suspenseful.
Question for the day: Have you ever baked with PB2?
Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway!
I haven't ever baked with PB2 but I love adding it to oatmeal and smoothies! Sounds like it was a fun night, I'm sure your boyfriend will be happy to have a closer niece. I'm glad you got to see an amazing sunset too!
ReplyDeleteOoh I've never baked with PB2. But I have used it in a curry one to get a more 'nuty' flavour.
ReplyDeleteHaha I used to watch Arthur back in the day. I always found his sister really irritating...
OMG I was obsessed with Arthur! I watched it all the time. I use PB2 in some of baking and dessert and it's always a big hit!
ReplyDeleteI used to use PB2, but then switched to peanut flour (so, basically got rid of the sugar and salt so I can add it if I want). Isn't it awesome?!? It's a nice protein boost for whatever you use it for. Congrats to your boyfriend's sister!
ReplyDeleteWill have to try peanut flour!
DeleteThey have Arthur cookie mix?? Seriously? How cute is that? I used to love watching Arthur! I wonder if they have a mix for D.W. as well? ;)
ReplyDeleteI've put PB2 in pancakes but not baked goods yet, those sound delicious! and I love cherrybrook kitchen products, they have a chocolate cake mix and white icing that I simply love!!! and I remember Arthur too, and DW :)
ReplyDeleteOmg I know which one you mean! So good!
DeleteYay! How exciting to have a niece of nephew around :) Little kids are so much fun. I can't believe you hand mix cookie dough! Oh my gosh I'd lose my arm. It hurts my arm using a hand mixer, haha! I used to love Arthur. It was my go to show every morning.
ReplyDeletei've read about that stuff but have never bought it! and that sunset is beautiful!
