Cooking
Just in time for a school-day breakfast, the recently ordered Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes From Southampton's Favorite Bakery For Home-style Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, And Breads cookbook arrived.
I'm not exactly doing cartwheels of joy after reading through the recipes; they're a bit too 'standard' for my tastes.
But as read them off to Matt, he perked up at the mention of Peanut Butter Bread.
A very dense batter; butter and sugars (white and dark brown) creamed, peanut butter, an egg, vanilla, flour and baking powder (rather a lot, I thought), salt, and finally, milk.
Bake almost an hour.
Matt says: "A bit like a peanut butter cookie in bread form. Sweet and peanut-buttery, but with a lighter texture than a cookie."
Alex had his plain, but I spread Matt's with a chocolate-peanut butter ice cream topping I'd bought at Earth Fare.
Hey, it's his breakfast.

- Mondays With Maida - Peanut Butter Pillows
Page 142 in the old book / page 176 in the new book These Peanut Butter Pillows were a hit at my office. Too bad it was such a small batch! The name may sound delicate, but these saucer-sized cookies are anything but. As Terri said, they resemble little...
- Peanut Butter Pancakes
I'm a bit surprised; it took ages to find a peanut butter pancake recipe on the web. I hit all the usual suspects, with '0' results. Finally, a basic web search got me this. Alex doesn't like to mess around with his toppings...maple syrup...
- Playing With Food
Despite the chaos that is my life right now, and ignoring the heat, I got the urge to make peanut butter cookies for Matt. I grew up with a certain kind of peanut butter cookie; very sweet and peanut-ty. My Mom's cookie. Matt, I discovered less than...

I promised Matt I'd make these cookies. Good thing I didn't promise when, because I first found the recipe about four months ago! Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies Another simple recipe: flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt...

Because breakfast is the most important...blah, blah. For Matt to take to work this week: a dense, incredibly peanut butter-y, loaf bread. He hasn't tried it yet, but I expect an update from him later. Butter creamed with both sugar and brown sugar,...
