Peanut Butter: Good or Bad?

Spotlight Recipe: Peanut Noodles with Shredded Chicken & Veggies
Add a little international flare to your Monday night meal with this spiced-up EatingWell dish. For the peanut sauce, opt for natural peanut butter since many other packaged ones are full of sugar (Trader Joe’s and Smart Balance are two brands I keep on hand). As for the veggies, the recipe suggests a broccoli-carrot-snow pea medley, but you can always add whatever fresh ones you find at the farmers’ market.

We have had a couple posts this week about buying (or making) the healthiest snack and energy bars. Continuing on that theme, I wanted to give props to Dana for this homemade version.

In them, she shares prep tips and healthy tidbits about a few of her favorite quick snacks. Her green herb hummus is on my to-try list for the weekend. And what a lovely kitchen!
Peanut Butter Recall
If you go nuts for peanut butter, you may need to find another favorite — at least for the time being. In case you haven’t heard the news, another salmonella outbreak has hit the U.S. (and Canada), and peanut butter is the source. This time both human and pet foods are on the hit list.

On Fruit Juice: Good or Bad?, CallFritz.com said:If that is the case, it should say something about the fruit juice it's self. They are not real fruit. How can something so natural be so bad for you? Think about that. I would try a Yoli Health Drink to be on the safe side.
