Peanut butter is one of those foods people either love or hate.
Those that hate it seem to be either violently allergic to it or just have a significant distaste for it.
I, however, am in the love camp. Peanut butter is among the greatest foods ever. It’s just so versatile I can’t really think of any other topping that goes from stirfry to dessert to snack food so effortlessly.
In what turned out to be a very good decision, I even picked peanut butter over a boyfriend, in my younger dating years. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but after showing up too soon after eating peanut butter and nearly giving him a huge reaction … twice, I decided if I really cared about him I’d probably would have remembered to stay away from the M&Ms, trail mix and peanut butter bars.
It is a great protein source especially for people who are lower income.
And this evening I created, what could actually be, the greatest snack ever. I managed to eat it in entirety even before remembering that I was going to take a photo of it. I’d make another, but honestly I wouldn’t be able to resist it and it’s not exactly the most low-fat snack in the world.
It’s simple and fantastic with a glass of milk — A Peanut Butter and Nutella Quesadilla.
Before anyone has a fit, quesadilla isn’t really the greatest descriptor as there is no cheese, but it’s the easiest way to describe it.
- Grab a tortilla
- Fold it in half and reopen to its original shape, so there is a line down the middle
- Spread one half with Nutella, the other with peanut butter
- Close
- Place in fry pan (no greasing required)
- Wait till crisp or even browned
- Turn it over and wait until crisp again.
- Cut into sections
- Eat (and by that I mean completely devour)
- Follow with a glass of skim milk
- Smile and experience paradise
