1st Place: Peanut Butter Blondies by Tina at Carrots ‘n’ Cake was the overall favorite. Tina’s array of healthy ingredients really come together in this delicious looking recipe, one that has risen to the top of my to-make list. Congrats Tina, this dish is well-deserving of the first place prize!

2nd Place: Prawns A La Talla with Peanut Butter Sauce by Marta from Just Call Me Marta was an excellent appetizer for our barbecue. Those prawns look crispy and spicy and the creamy peanut butter sauce can only be the perfect complement!

3rd Place: Asian Peanut Butter Pesto Grilled Chicken from Lynnylu at Cafe Lynnylu is the perfect light main course. Everyone loves kabobs and this recipe looked too good to pass up.

Pork’n Butter Kabobs by Brooke

Kabob Materials
6 Granny Smith apples; each apple cut into 6 wedges
18 Thick-cut Bacon strips cut in halves
1 Pineapple cored; cut into 1 inch cubes

Peanut Butter Glaze
¾ cp. Chicken or beef broth
¾ cp. Trader Joe’s Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
¼ cp. Honey
½ tbsp. Soy sauce
1 tsp. black pepper
¼ tsp. Hot sauce

1. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; Heat grill.
2. Wrap each apple wedge with a half strip of bacon.
3. Alternate, starting with pineapple cube, apple/bacon wedges and pineapple cubes on skewers. Resulting in 9 skewers with 5 pineapple cubes and 4 apple/bacon wedges to each skewer.
4. Combine Peanut Butter Glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until well incorporated. Use this glaze on any meat while it is roasting.
5. Brush kabobs with glaze mixture, reserving any remaining mixture.
6. Place kabobs on rack over medium heat and cook 3 minutes on each side (be sure to re-brush with glaze after flipping) or until bacon is cooked to your liking (some foodies enjoy crispy bacon while others enjoy medium rare).
7. Remove from grill and drizzle with remaining glaze if desired.
