How I Celebrated

Nate made a few peanut buttery treats we are bringing to our friend's birthday party today. I had a bit of a preview for my vid upload today!

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Here is a recipe for some sugar free compote. If you make your own peanut butter, it is easier to make sure it is sugar free. Pig all depends on how you cook it.

• Gluten Free

  YES

• Vegetarian

  Well, the compote and the peanut butter is fine.

History

Punchbowl
Really? No one knows who invented peanut butter? Nate thought it was George Washington Carver, but it looks like his history book was outdated (Thanks, Obama).

Merchandise

I think I used to not like pigs until I saw really cute pig characters. Like the evil piglets on adventure time, or I guess even Winnie the Pooh's friend is cute too, but Piglet is pretty skinny for a pig, so I feel like that was a lie.
