Oh, and happy thanksgiving!
FANTASTIC ideas!!
Wishing you an early Happy Thanksgiving, Nick!!
OOPS!! The above anonymous comment is from me :-D
yum!! they all look so good! i love the chocolate pb pie! i think that’s my favorite!
Everything looks amazing. A table full of options like those would make one mean holiday dinner. I don’t know if I’d be willing to share that chocolate and triple peanut butter pie though…
Ooh, it all looks so tasty.
I had your banana pancakes for breakfast this morning. Not going to lie, I pretty much live off those things.
They are super addicting, aren’t they? I make a double batch, freeze one, and I’ve got 2 straight weeks of pancakes! Glad you enjoy them! ~ Nick

Oh wow, those are some serious peanut butter dishes. I’ll come up with something to celebrate the most important holiday of the year, hehe.
Can’t wait to see it!
STELLAR PB recipe ideas!
I love the round up and all the great recipes for Thanksgiving. Thank you!!!
damn
youre so peanutbutter’ycreative.
I always resort to my mouth and a spoon.
seriously…
Hey well so do I. It takes a lot of effort to not stuff peanut butter into my mouth before getting it into a recipe. I’m usually full of peanut butter by the time the dish is ready!
Although I don’t use a spoon anymore, I use either a fork or a knife. A fork serves two purposes: it captures the chunks when you’re eating a chunky variety and it also makes it seem like you’re eating a meal. The knife just adds a sense of danger to the whole experience, I’ve already cut my tongue once.
what a great roundup. and i love that you use a fork :) i’m all about the chunks!! i’ll stay away from the knife though…
You wouldn’t think that peanut butter would go with Thanksgiving, but you’ve convinced me otherwise.
Nic –
Found you through a link from “Country Living” on my FB feed! So glad that I did!! Good to know that there are other peanut butter connoisseurs out there! Your recipes look absolutely delicious! Do you have a personal favorite?
Oops… sorry for the misspelling of your name. ;-)

I’ll remember now… :-D
Haha, don’t worry about the mispelling.
So glad you enjoy the recipes! Personal favorite(s) would have to be:
PB Banana Pudding (or one of the many alternate versions I have posted)
Chocolate Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”
The Platecake
and Spicy Oatmeal
Happy Thanksgiving, Nick!
Happy Turkey Day Katrina!
These all look great man. I did a mix last night of a sweet potato topped with peanut butter and 1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. It was actually a pretty good combo- you should give it a try!
Interesting. I guess laughing cow is a good replacement for cream cheese, sounds delicious actually!
What?! There’s another roundup coming up?? What is it? (the link you posted goes to an old post about pb reviews)
No no, not another roundup yet! I reposted the Thanksgiving recipes from last year but added new ones and removed others. But I did do a roundup last Turkey Day. There should be a roundup coming soon though….
OMG! My mouth is watering! I’m going to start bookmarking recipes right now… ;-)
