Little Dipper CrockPot Peanut Butter Fondue
Day 312.
Good morning! Thank you so much for all of the nice notes about my back. Im definitely feeling better this morning. I did end up going to the doctor, which was a good idea. I guess my file still said I taught preschool, so the doctor was a bit concerned about bending and lifting. When I told him that I now write from home, he said, "youll be able to be pretty creative while taking this stuff!" and wrote me a prescription for muscle relaxers.
All they do is make me fall asleep, so I dont think youre in for any amazing creativity.
But this is good fondue! Happy Fondue Friday, everyone.
The Ingredients.
--3/4 cup peanut butter
--1/4 cup brown sugar
--1/4 cup cream or half and half
--1 tsp vanilla
--4 large marshmallows
The Directions.
Scoop your peanut butter into the Little Dipper. If you dont have a Little Dipper, you can put an oven-safe dish inside your crockpot to create a smaller cooking vessel.
Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, and cream. Push 4 large marshmallows into the mixture. Dont bother to stir now; the peanut butter will just stick to the spoon.
Cover and cook for about an hour. Stir well. Heat some more if it isnt all melty.
Serve with apple slices and celery sticks.
The Verdict.
I ate this in bed yesterday with a heating pad while watching Oprah. It was delightful.

Slow Cooker Recipe for Pork Sirloin Roast with Spicy Peanut Sauce
 |
| A craving for peanut butter led to this recipe for Slow Cooker Pork Sirloin Roast with Spicy Peanut Sauce. |
(When I realized I had completely ignored National Peanut Butter Day, I decided to feature this Slow Cooker Pork Sirloin Roast with Spicy Peanut Sauce for A Month of Daily Phase One Recipes, and we can just enjoy our peanut butter fixation a day later. Yum, peanut butter! Just don't eat nuts for a snack on the day you make this if you're seriously doing Phase One.)
It's true that I never liked peanut butter sandwiches when I was a kid (and still don't) but I love recipes using peanut butter, especially if the recipe has a spicy Asian twist to it. A few weeks ago I had a pork sirloin roast I wanted to cook, I had a lot of work to do so I thought about using the slow cooker, and I was craving peanut butter. That combination of circumstances led to this recipe for Slow Cooker Pork Sirloin Roast with Spicy Peanut Sauce. I enjoyed a couple of slices of the roast pork for dinner, and the next day I diced up some of the leftover meat and ate it inside lettuce leaves, and I thought it was great both ways.
