The truth of the matter is that if you locked me up on a desert isle and told me I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, every day, ever and anon…I would choose peanut butter. There’s no doubt about it. Peanut butter is, was, and ever shall be my ultimate favorite food group. (Yes, you heard me right. Food group.)
And while I don’t usually like to mince words with the things in life that make me happiest…I have a bit of a bone to pick with peanut butter and its calorie content. How am I supposed to eat it every day of my life when it insists on behaving this way? And on that note…how can I not? Well, thankfully with this noodle salad, you can actually satisfy your peanut butter cravings without going on an all-out calorie binge.
