Join us as we celebrate National Peanut Butter Day..........

Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal invited members of our Festive Foodies group to join her in celebrating National Peanut Butter Day.

I LOVE peanut butter.  I still eat PBJ's regularly.  I love it smeared on apples.  Covering my morning bagel or toast and paired with bananas.  I have yet to find a combo that beats chocolate and peanut butter.

In fact, just two days ago I shared these Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies and earlier this month I  shared an amazing Peanut Butter Bundt Cake.  I also added some peanut butter to this Overnight Oatmeal that I shared this month.

So for today's event I wanted to go savory.  When I think of peanut butter in a savory food my mind automatically turns to pad thai.

You can, of course add meat to this dish and I have often prepared it with chicken and/or shrimp. You can add any veggies you have on hand, it is a great end of the week recipe when you are cleaning out the odds and ends from the refrigerator.  Or you can do as I did, in this instance, and just pick up a bag of pre-packaged oriental veggies or stir fry mix.

However you decide to make it, you will have a delicious, nutritious weeknight meal ready in less than half and hour.  You can't ask for more than that.  I will be sharing this easy peasy recipe in printable form but first let's take a look at what the others are sharing in today's celebration.
