One of the great things about the Army is that they give plenty of time off after a deployment. My husband went back to work yesterday after an entire month off. And I don’t know if this is the case for everyone, but I’m incapable of doing anything productive when my husband is around. Clean the house? Nah, I’ll just sit here a bit longer. Buy groceries? Why? We can just order a pizza. Blog? Ehhh, I’d rather fall asleep on the couch watching Sex and the City reruns.
This has been my life for the past month.
Well, add a few too many bottles of wine and then you have my life.
But I’m hoping to return to my regular blogging now that everything has gone back to the normal. And I may even clean the house.
For our Thursday theme this week we decided on peanut butter which is one of my favorite things in the entire universe. I love it so much that I followed up my 250 calorie burn workout with 600 calories of extra crunchy PB yesterday. Just on a spoon. Because I am on a diet. Duh.
These waffles are so yummy and they have enough peanut butter flavor that I didn’t even use syrup which is practically unheard of for me.
Nicole made Peanut Butter Cup Milkshakes which sound sinful and I wish I had one right now.
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 6 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
-
Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
Put melted butter, peanut butter, and eggs on top of the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Whisk in the milk, just until mixed. If the batter seems too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time.
-
Cook in waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately.

That’s so awesome that you guys had a month together when your husband got back. A well deserved break! :) These waffles look awesome. I desperately need a new waffle iron so I can start making some of the recipes I have bookmarked!

Good theme to pick because today is national peanut butter day!!

It’s imposible for me to blog when my husband is around too… and I didn’t even live without him for a bazillion months.

I want these. I really do. Once I cracked open that jar of PB for the milkshake I have been dreaming of pb. Elvis pancakes! ha

I love peanut butter waffles with drizzled peanut butter on top!
Miriam @ Overtimecook says
Ok, I think this is the recipe that’s going to push me over the edge and finally splurge on a waffle maker. Yum!
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
If anything ever made me want to run out and buy a waffle maker this is it! When my husband is off work I never want to do anything productive… men are so capable of being lazy and not feeling bad about it, I just want to do the same:-)

I love peanut butter pancakes so I’m pretty sure these would be a big win!

These sound intriguing, and I don’t even like peanut butter! My husband eagerly volunteered to taste test a sample batch – LOL.
