Quick and Easy Homemade Peanut Butter
I really had no intention to make peanut butter. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of homemade nut butters. I've done sunbutter before, and it was great. But I try to prioritize my time and making all my nut butters at home has never really made it to the top of my list of things I should be doing.
But I love peanuts. I mean, I love roasted, salted peanuts. A quick handful or two is an awesome snack - it satisfies my need for crunchy and salty, and gives me a little protein. I bought some peanuts a couple weeks ago, thinking I was buying roasted and salted peanuts. Only to get home and realize that what I had grabbed was roasted and NOT salted. (That's what happens when you're trying to squeeze in a quick grocery trip in between pickups and dropoffs.) As far as I'm concerned, there is no place in my life for snacking on nuts that aren't salted. I know you raw nut lovers can disagree, but I love my salt.
