It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Well….. not quite!

But I did get a BIG parcel delivered yesterday:

Is it just me that gets all excited when parcels come, even when I know exactly what’s in them?!  (And even when they bite me – I’ve had paper cuts before but never had a cardboard cut, until then. Grrr)

But then again, look at this lot, straight from Goodness Direct:

Some old favourites like the almond butter and the flour and some I’d been wanting to try, like the date syrup, GF jumbo oats and Meridian peanut butter.

Meridian almond butter is officially the best almond butter in the world… ever. And if anyone even tried to suggest I’ve only tried one or two others…

he’d be right 🙂

But as it is that good, and as this pb is the same make, and its only ingredient is peanuts, I thought I’d give it a go…

It just goes to show how keen I am to find out the truth that almost before the camera had flashed, the lid was off the jar. 0.456 of a nanosecond later, my finger was in it 🙂

And… oh my god.

How did I not like peanut butter till a few months ago?! I ate a couple of spoonsful straight out of the jar before I forced myself to put the lid on and move it out of sight… this stuff is serious.

So. When I started this blog, I saw I could sign up as an affiliate of the website so I thought I might as well. If anyone clicks through here to there and orders, I get 6% of what they spend off my next order (or something like that… I’m not about to give up the day job!)

Then I got an email a while ago offering discount to me and anyone who goes through here to get there. If you spend £35, you get £10 off. And as orders of £35 and over get free delivery, you save another £6.50, which is my kind of deal!

So if you do fancy it, just put in the code 32234299 when you get to the checkout – and that’s valid till March 31!

I’ve already also sampled the jumbo oats. Stupid thing to say but they smell so much more oaty than the others (not like the others smell of cat litter or anything – but you know what I mean 🙂  )

I made pancakes with the oats, apple sauce, an egg white and a pinch of mesquite (think cinnamon would be equally good)

You’ll have to take my word for the fact that there was peanut butter on top after this picture was taken… it didn’t hang around long! 

There will be A LOT of that pb in my meals for a while 🙂

What’s your favourite type/brand of nut butter?
