Okay - so we had 2 half jars of crunchy Trader Joe's peanut butter in the fridge that I wanted to use up. I found this great recipe for African Chicken Peanut Stew online in my search for peanut butter recipes. One of my closest new friends in NZ is from Zimbabwe. She had a baby boy in December (see picture below) and we are 2 of the 3 mommies in the church with small children. Although she said they do lots of stews in Zimbabwe, when I texted her the recipe she said she'd never heard of it before. I think it might be a West African (Ghanaian?) recipe??? It reminded me of the summer when I worked in the wilderness of Wisconsin at a Lutheran Bible Camp. In the camp were several villages that were supposed to mirror African villages. One of the recipes that we cooked entailed greens (spinach?) and peanut butter. As a 17-year old it was a weird combination, but it really grew on me.

RESULTS: The stew turned out really good with the cilantro (coriander in NZ), sweet potatoes and chicken.
6 jars of peanut butter left! Next recipe Monster Cookies - then we might try make and freeze Puppy Chow.
Puppy Chow is my FAVE!!! YUM!
