You know how it is when you’re trying to eat healthy? If you’re like me, you make sure there’s no junk in the house. And then proceed to scrounge together whatever you’ve got to make something delicious and forbidden. Homemade Peanutbutter Cups? Yes, please!
I found out about this recipe over on A Friend to Knit With. They are ridiculous. And so easy. And who doesn’t have some chocolate chips and peanutbutter on hand all the time? I sort of futzed with the recipe to my detriment– I actually like a bigger ratio of peanutbutter to chocolate, but ended up using too much chocolate in the cups to start with and throwing everything off. Anyway, if you’re feeling baaaad, I highly recommend making some for yourself. To mitigate the total self sabotage, I immediately brought these to one of HMB’s classes to share with the other kids (well, moms really, since kids Miss S’s age don’t really do food). Well, after trying one to make sure they were ok.
They’re ok.
Regarding less guilty pleasures: the very cool Linda tipped me off to Goodreads- I am really, really in need of good book recommendations, so it came at just the right time. I do wonder about social booksharing, only in that I actually read quite a bit of embarassing stuff (trashy books, hooray!), and I probably wouldn’t put those on there ’cause I got a rep to protect (very serious and scholarly, dontcha know), but we’ll see. If you’re a member or you join and would like to be my friend, I’d love it- I think you can search by e-mail so look for belleepoquewhimsy (!at!) gmail (!dot!) com
