Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Balls / Giveaway #SampleWholeGrains

April 2, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 140 Comments

Congratulations!!!    Karen D
Comment: @KDFF follows Oldways on twitter

 

Hi Everyone,

Today is a big day here at PBandP!  I have so much to tell you, share with you and give you that I don’t know where to begin!  I guess I should start off by telling you that today is a very special day!  Today is Whole Grain Sampling Day!  What does that mean?  It means eat your Whole Grains, sample some new ones and enjoy them, after all they are very good for you.  I am also very proud to tell you that I am a Whole Grain Ambassador for the Whole Grains Council.   This was truly an honor that I was asked to be an ambassador.  I could not turn it down because, if you’re a follower of PBandP, you know how much I love my whole grains!!!  I have to share one more thing before I get to todays recipe.  Thanks to the Whole Grains Council and the Brentwood Press, I was asked to give an interview about Whole Grain Sampling Day.  I didn’t get to read the interview until it hit the press and on Friday afternoon, I grabbed my paper and what did I see on the cover?  Me!  I almost fell over!  ha ha!  This is the first time I have ever been in a newspaper.  They called me the East County’s Quinoa Queen!  I love it!!!  I was so excited I had to share it with you!
PBandP Oakley Press
If you would like to check out the article, you can go here. I found it on their website. In honor of this very special day and being East County’s Quinoa Queen (still makes me laugh) I made for you Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Balls.  These little balls are a guilt-free treat and oh my gosh soooooooooo good!!!  One of the best balls I have ever ate!!!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Balls
These little balls are made with nothing but good things!! Peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and the star of the recipe cooked quinoa. These little balls are sweet, peanut buttery and chocolaty and a perfect little snack. They exceeded my expectations!! So next time you make quinoa, save some leftovers and make these little treats. I guarantee you will love them, just as much as I do!!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Balls
The Peanut Butter Chocolate Quinoa Balls are super easy to make too! Just mix all of your ingredients in a bowl and then roll them into balls. I popped them in the freezer for about 30 minutes so they hold their form. One thing I need to tell you is that I used warmed quinoa, so the chocolate would melt in them. Makes for messy hands, but well worth it!! You can use cold quinoa and your chocolate chips will hold it’s form. I prefer the melted way, but whatever way you chose to make them, they will turn out great!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Balls
Since today is Whole Grain Sampling Day I wanted to talk a little bit about the benefits of Whole Grains. Eating whole grains gives your body extra antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals which are essential to good health. Adding whole grains to your diet can lower the risks of chronic diseases and illness such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, high blood pressure and inflammatory diseases. I think these are great reason to have whole grains if you ask me!! Plus not only are they healthy for you, but they taste great and so versatile! Just make sure you look for the Whole Grain Label to make sure you’re getting 100% Whole Grains, if you don’t see the label, then read your ingredients.
Whole Grain Stamp
So what are the whole grains? Glad you asked! Here is a list of whole grains.

  • Hulled Barley
  • Brown Rice (and colored rices)
  • Buckwheat
  • Whole Corn
  • Oats
  • Whole Rye
  • Whole Wheat
  • Wild Rice
  • Amaranth
  • Buckwheat
  • Millet
  • Quinoa

I also have a cooking chart, which I find comes in handy when cooking whole grains. I got this chart form the Whole Grains Council and Oldways
How to Cook Whole Grains
I always thought that gluten-free meant no whole grains, but you know what I found out a few months ago that I was wrong and I think a lot of people think the same way. It’s good to know that even being gluten-free you can still have your healthy, good for you whole grains. Here is a list of gluten-free whole grains.

  • Corn
  • Rice
  • Oats (check for gluten-free label)
  • Wild Rice
  • Buckwheat
  • Quinoa
  • Millet
  • Sorghum
  • Teff

National Whole Grain Sampling Day Recipes
I thought since it was National Sampling Day that I would put together a few of my favorite recipes from the picture above.

  • Lightened Up Mac & Cheese (made with Quinoa Pasta)
  • Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Quinoa Snack Cake
  • Whole Grain Pumpkin with Chocolate Chip Bread
  • Roasted Butternut Squash with Quinoa and Honey Balsamic Dressing (Trader Joe’s Copycat Recipe)
  • Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (Gluten free)
  • Asparagus and Basmati Rice
  • Spanish Quinoa
  • Delicata Squash and Cranberry Quinoa Salad
  • Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
  • Pesto Pasta 
  • Individual Baked Oatmeal Cups
  • Peanut Butter Honey and Oat Bars

Now are you ready for the big giveaway?  All I can tell you, is boy is it a lot of goodies!  I got this package and I was like holy crap!  Then I read the letter that was sent with the package and it said I can giveaway the same goodie box to one of my readers (minus the t-shirt)!  But before I show you a snippet of the package, I thought I would share with you just some of the goodies you will get.

Among Friends Jam Bar Mix
This is a whole grain mix from Among Friends. I made this a couple of weeks ago for my Husband to take to work and for my friends at my work. All I can say is it got eaten up in minutes. It tastes like coffee cake with jam in the middle. I bet adding peanut butter to it would taste great too!! Here is a picture of it in the pan. Since I made it before bed, I wanted it to cool, so I didn’t take picture of it cut, but you get the idea and yes, this is in the giveaway.

    I can’t say I have one favorite grain.. I love quinoa on in salads but not to bake with, I love baking with oats flour. I use wild rice in my soups often because it keeps its firmness.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🎃 
What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
