Trim Healthy Tuesday Linked Posts Guidelines

  1. Accepted post topics will be: Trim Healthy Mama related recipes, kitchen tips, weekly menu, ‘how to’ articles, or exercise tips, and MODEST before and after photos may be attached to any of the above. Please do not link personal progress reports or non-THM recipes.
  2. You may post links from YOUR blog to recipes that are Trim Healthy Mama friendly. They can be S (satisfying), E (energizing), FP (Fuel Pull), or Crossovers. Please note which of these categories your recipe falls under. Nutrition information for your recipe is helpful, but not mandatory.
  3. Please respect the copyright of the book, and do not post recipes from the Trim Healthy Mama book on your blog. You MAY post recipes that you’ve changed up to make your own, but nothing verbatim from the book.
  4. Please link your post back to one of the hosting blogs above: Gwen’s Nest or Stacy Makes Cents. Your link will show up on both blogs! DO NOT LINK TO THE HOMEPAGE – instead link directly to this Trim Healthy Tuesday post: https://gwens-nest.com/?p=2715
  5. Please post no more than 3 links each week.
  6. Post new links from your blog each week – do not post the same link each week.
  7.

Example – posting about an eCookbook that you like is acceptable when telling how it can help with THM. Posting about a cookbook just so you can sell it is NOT acceptable.

    Gwen – this looks so easy. I’ve tried p.butter before using my vita mix but it was just too messy. I am going to try this as we consume LOTS of p.butter every single week. Thanks for sharing!

    Ok, bought the wrong nuts! Can I use raw w/ skins onto make PB? Please?

      Hi Tara,
      The skins will give the pb a bitter taste if you leave them all on. But I do think they rub off really easily once you toast the nuts…so you can still use them. 🙂

    I just made this and I burnt some of the peanuts and it affected the flavour. Even though I stirred them, and reduced the time, too. But I must say that the length of blending time is amazing! I was wondering if it would be okay to just use already roasted, but unsalted, peanuts and then salt to taste while processing.

      I prefer to roast my own to control the level of browning and also the oil used in commercially roasted isn’t what I prefer.

      If yours burned, I’d check the oven temp with a thermometer…it’s not that uncommon for a thermostat to run too high and you can sometimes adjust those on the backside of the knob.

        Well they also roasted faster around the edges of the pan and I don’t know why. All the pans were evenly spread, right to the edges, and I stirred them carefully. I looked online and Bulk Barn has some dry roasted peanuts. Would that work?

    Hi Gwen,
    I love your site and your recipes. I bought Hoody’s 5lb unsalted bag of peanuts at Costco. They are roasted with NO OIL:) I do have to shell them however, but I do it in 15 minute increments. I am about to make some peanut butter! Thanks for the recipe.

    Hi there, I’m new to the THM universe. I was looking for a homemade peanut butter recipe and I came across your website (thanks for ALL the helpful information and recipes btw!). If this recipe is an S, then how will I be able to have a peanut butter (and jam) sandwich?

    Reply
    • Gwen Brown says

      July 4, 2016 at 3:40 PM

      Well, the best way to accomplish that is to use peanut flour, which is defatted, and sprouted bread (E). OR, you can make one of the S breads from the THM cookbook, and use a berry syrup or a small amount of fruit only jam to make it work. 🙂
