Maybe I'll challenge that notion someday, but for now, here are some fun ways to eat peanut butter inspired by the Japanese art of maki rolls, minus the actual fish. Our sprightly intern at Peanut Butter and Co. Peanut butter maki rolls are really nothing new—people have been doing this with peanut butter and jelly for years, calling them "pinwheel" sandwiches, which refers to the swirl of peanut butter and jelly created when you roll up the sandwiches. I love the idea of introducing kids and the otherwise sushi-averse to this fun food shape.
Cheesesteak Sandwich The famous sandwich from Philly is a nutritionist’s nightmare: mounds of greasy beef and fried onions; a massive, oil-soaked hoagie roll; and to top it all off, a viscous deluge of Cheez Whiz (that’s right, traditional cheesesteaks are made with Whiz). But we want you to have your steak and eat it, too, so we came up with this version, which relies on a lean flank steak, a whole-wheat roll, and a yogurt-based blue cheese sauce. It’s a bit fancier than the sandwich from the City of Brotherly Love, but to our tastes, it’s also better. You’ll Need: 2 Tbsp plain Greekstyle yogurt (we like Fage 2%) 2 Tbsp olive-oil mayonnaise 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese 16 oz skirt or flank steak Salt and black pepper to taste 2 cups arugula 2 tomatoes, sliced 4 whole-wheat sandwich rolls Caramelized onions How to Make It: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, and blue cheese.

On Moving Toward Vegetarianism: Getting the Protein You Need Photo by Kelly Rossiter Hands down, the number one response I get from people when I mention that my children are both vegetarian is "but how do they get enough protein?" Getting your daily requirement of protein is actually pretty easy. In fact, if you are eating meat, chances are you are consuming more protein than you need. Eating any kind of balanced diet simply requires a little thought and a well stocked pantry. Just a cursory look through my cupboards and refrigerator revealed quinoa , green lentils , red lentils , dried chickpeas, canned chickpeas, dried kidney beans , canned kidney beans , canned navy beans , dried yellow split peas, dried black beans , tofu , eggs , cheese , cottage cheese , peanut butter , almonds, cashews , pine nuts and walnuts . This recipe was very easy and absolutely fantastic. Photo by Kelly Rossiter Baked Quinoa with Spinach and Cheese 1. 2. 3. 4. From the New York Times
Spicy Sweet Potato Gratin | Once A Chef Always a Chef As a young kid I hated sweet potatoes. I had never tried one, but I just knew, deep down, that I’d hate it and so I did. I don’t remember when I got over this assumed hatred of them, but it wasn’t until I was at least 11 or 12, and even then I only learned to like them reluctantly. I look back at that time and wonder why. It made no sense as it combined 2 things I loved the most; potatoes and something sweet. Today, many people like to play up their sweet side, but I often prefer to down play their sweetness and instead enjoy them for the subtle floral qualities that they possess. Spicy Sweet Potato Gratin 4-5 pounds sweet potato 2-2 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, shaved or grated salt pepper ground chipotle pepper 2 Tbsp. butter Preheat oven to 350°F. Continue layering the potatoes, with the seasoning and cheese, until all the potatoes are used up, and making sure that you have at least 1/2 cup of cheese left for the top.
