I am on a winning streak! Thanks Thrifty Momma

I have told you guys about Entrecard before. It is sort of an ad swapping network among bloggers. You buy your ads with points and I just won 2000 points from Bonnie at Thrifty Momma Ramlings!!! That is like winning the lottery. Can you believe it? Now if I could only win the actual lottery!

I also won a peanut butter mixer a couple of weeks ago and an awesome sesame street CD from NOLA Mommy just recently. The Little Monkey is very keen on Elmo right now.

I was destined to love Peanut Butter

I have won very few things in my life. In the third grade, I won a bookmark in a reading competition. In the sixth grade, I won the blue first place ribbon in the basketball free throw on Field Day. In eigth grade, I was on the winning Quiz Bowl team at HJ McDonald middle school. And, that is pretty much where my winning streak ended.... until today!

Who knew my love of all things peanut butter would lead to me winning, of all things, a Grandpa Witmer's peanut butter mixer! Who even knew what a Grandpa Witmer's peanut butter mixer is, but as of today, I am the proud winner of The Peanut Butter blog's contest to win one. Thank you, Peanut Butter lady, for your generous understanding of the fact that noone likes separated peanut butter. What could be more horrid than taking the peanut butter out of the cabinet, only to have the oil on the top and the cream on the bottom. As of today, I will no longer be subjected to that particular affliction.

In honor of peanut butter, I would like to take a moment to have a short tutorial to teach my fellow bloggers how to make my favorite peanut butter dessert. When I was little, my bff's mom would make my favorite meal everytime I came to visit- corn dogs, mac n' cheese, and (drumroll, please) PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW TOAST! Follow these directions carefully and you, too, can enjoy this tasty treat.

1) Preheat toaster oven to broil.

2) Procure your favorite flavor bread, your favorite brand of PB, and mini-marshmallows.

3) Toast said bread lightly in a toaster.

4) Spread PB on toast and place mini-marshmallows on top of PB (I give you full artistic license with the placement).

5) Broil in oven. Watch closely because there is a fine line between roasted and burned marshmallows.

6) Sit and enjoy the peanut butter marshmallow roasted goodness!
