Peanut Butter Hot Dog
The Peanut Butter Boy's version
About this Cook
Born to an amazing cook (my mother), I received spatulas and oven mitts at an early age. I recently started a blog called "The Peanut Butter Boy", http://www.peanutbutterboy.com , a site mostly devoted to my favorite ingredient, peanut butter. I got excited about sharing my recipes online and I plan on sharing those recipes here as well.
My favorite things to cook
I cook anything healthy and experiment to make regular dishes healthier.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Crepes (the egg-white ones from this site) on Christmas morning, stuffed shells, stuffed mushrooms and raspberry brownie.
My cooking triumphs
My pancakes and enchiladas.
My cooking tragedies
Apparently soybean pasta is a highly acquired taste. Also, one time I severely burned and ruined a dozen scrambled eggs.

Butternut and Acorn Squash Soup
I thought this was delicious!! I made a few changes. A little less sugar, fat free cream cheese, 1 tsp of butter and fat free low sodium chicken broth made this much healthier. It was very rich. I might try less cream cheese next time. But, there will definitely be a next time!

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
We loved this dish but it wasn't sticky, which could be due to not measuring the honey. Chicken tenders made the meat even more tender and succulent and we cooked it in toasted sesame oil instead of vegetable oil which really added to the flavor. We didn't have hot sauce so I added 1t chili powder and 2T water (probably unnecessary). The sauce reduced nicely and concentrated the flavor. Served over bulgur wheat this was the perfect meal! A side of roasted, but still crispy, green beans rounded it out. I highly recommend this dish. Make sure to use fresh ginger, not dried.

Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Biscuits
If I had a dog I assume he/she would like them. They are a pretty healthy snack so I actually made them for myself! Clearly they're a bit dry but not too shabby when dunked in coffee or tea. I found it fun, in a gross way, to roll the dough into a narrow rod shape and stack them into little "piles".
