This is great for livening up chicken or pork, especially for those who are not big chicken fans. It works well as a condiment for stir fry, or over oriental noodles.

1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter
Juice of one half lime
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons soy
2 cloves garlic minced

I place it all in the food processor (or blender), and beat until well mixed.. I recommend making it while dinner is cooking. If you chill it, it will get too thick to use.

Peanut butter is one of Americas staple foods found in about 75% of households. It is an excellent source of protein, B3, E and the antioxidant p-coumaric acid. The Incas had peanuts which they also used in a paste form giving us the first known peanut butter.

Blue Cheese Seasoned Butter

This seasoned butter is strongly flavored and works well on beef and green beans. It probably works on other strongly flavored meats and vegetables too, I just haven’t tried it yet. It will keep several weeks in the refrigerator.

Blue Cheese Seasoned butter
1/2 stick butter (~4oz)
6 oz blue cheese
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
1 Tablespoon rosemary
1/4 cup walnuts

Place everything in a food processor and grind to a paste.

Barrels of flavored butter were made with garlic in Scotland and Ireland in the 1700s and stored in the bogs at that time. The longer the butter stayed underground the better it was so trees were planted to mark the spots where the butter was buried. The peat bogs kept the butter safe because of the cold and antiseptic properties of the bogs.
