Happy Friday!

Good morning to all of you! We've had a busy week at BSNB...we started off the week by Troy and I participating in a relay at the Pittsburgh Marathon.  What a great experience!  We ran and raised money for Autism Awareness on our friend Stephen's team.  Instead of each doing a separate leg of the relay, we ran together for the last 11 miles and crossed the finish line together.  It was an amazing experience!  We already love Pittsburgh and the crowds along the marathon route just reminded us of why.  We spent the day before the marathon and the day after exploring Moraine State Park and McConnell's Mill State Park and came back home refreshed and ready to get back to the nut butters!

But, before we left, I was happy to be a part of A&A Village Treasure's 3rd Anniversary at Gettysburg's First Friday.  Anthony and Amado sure know how to throw a party and everyone leaves there feeling like family.  I made some special treats for the celebration...Pecan Turtle Cheesecake Dip (equal parts cream cheese and pecan turtle peanut butter with a bit of raw sugar added), 3 ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Bars, and the hit of the night, Nutty Chai Shrimp.  They were all super easy to make and serve and showed different ways to use our nut butters.

The Nutty Chai shrimp was super easy...I sauteed a bit of fresh diced garlic with butter, added the fresh shrimp to it and cooked it through.  Once that was done, I added a heaping tablespoon of Nutty Chai and a splash of sherry.  It was really that simple.  If you wanted to make more of a meal out of it, you could add some cream to make a bisque.  I love to play things by ear and figure out what works best, so feel free to give it a try!

Tonight I'm headed to Zest! in Lititz, PA to celebrate Second Fridays in Lititz so hopefully I'll see some of you there!

Restarting again...

So many people have asked me to start posting to the blog again that I will do my very best to keep up!!  I want to have a dedicated place for sharing our recipes so it will be great if I can!  I'm making some favorites of ours tonight to share with friends tomorrow at A&A Village Treasures in Gettysburg, PA.  Sea Salt Caramel PB Cookies.  YUM!  And Pecan Turtle Cheesecake Fluff...Another YUM!  And then I am going to try my hand at a savory combo of our new Nutty Chai flavor and Shrimp.  Stay tuned...

As always, thank you for being the most awesome customers out there!  I appreciate all of the support you give all the time!
