Peanut Butter Cups – The History Of This Nutty Snack

Peanut butter was invented in 1904 and peanut butter cups date back to the 1920s. These nuts have been used in recipes for many years, both in savory and sweet ones. Smooth peanut butter, which you can spread, was invented in 1890 by a physician in St Louis who was looking for a high-protein food for people who were unable to chew meat. George A Bayle Jr., a local food producer, made the first batch of it and he sold it out of barrels by the pound at the local grocery store.

Adding Kefir to Tart Cherry Concentrate

Tart cherry concentrate has been used in my household for over 6 months now, and I have usually used it along with a few frozen tart cherries I was able to find at a local food store. With it being winter now, it can become harder to find fresh cherries, although I have also found them at the grocery store recently, and they actually came from the country of Chile.
