At what point does a love become an obsession?
Recently, I have taken up Pilates. From a former weight lifter and cardio junkie, I can say I have not looked forward to my daily workout as much as I do currently. The love/hate relationship I feel while working and stretching muscles I never knew I had, is rather addicting.
It has become the hour that I soak into a different realm and forget about the outside world. It is just as much mental as it is physical. My muscles are pushed to their limit yet I have never embraced the fire I feel with every leg lift and booty work. OH THE BURN!
As I gain personal awareness with my daily exercise of Pilates, I realized that I have started a slight obsession. Not too shabby though, right? There could be much worse of things in this world that I could be infatuated with.
One of those things is peanut butter. But that is nothing new. What human being does not want to dig straight into a jar of peanut butter? Am I right? Or am I right?
Homemade peanut butter (or any other nut butter for that matter), could quite possibly be the simplest thing to make. But if you have yet to make it, then I welcome you to try it out and see why you will never buy the jarred stuff again.
Just a tip though; make sure you buy roasted peanuts, or you roast them yourself before sending them for a whirl in the food processor. The roasting process gives off the natural oils in the nuts, which helps to create the ever so lovely creaminess of peanut butter. Personally, I buy roasted and salted as I adore the sweet and salty combo. But you can add salt and roast yourself, if that floats your boat.
All boats are welcome here…
I couldn’t just stop with roasted peanut butter; even though the last spoonful I took told me I could. One of my weaknesses is Peter Pan Honey Roasted Peanut Butter. Oh my lanta. That is heaven on earth, I tell ya. So honey was just dying to make an appearance here. Once the peanuts are smooth and silky, I add a bit of honey and a dash of cinnamon, mix well and take one too many spoonfuls for quality assurance. It’s highly suggested you do so as well.
So please excuse me while I go indulge in some Pilates with a side of peanut butter.
