Remember these candies that I was having a love affair with? It’s still going strong.
Then Ashley went and made COOKIES with the same ingredients and my head started spinning. Peanut-butter-ginger recipes were crashing around in my mind and I couldn’t stop.
I even texted Ashley while I was eating lunch one day and told her that I needed to write a peanut-butter-ginger cookbook.
But then I made this recipe and all my grand plans subsided. It’s so good – you don’t need anything else in life.
Okay, that’s not true. But it is dang good. On kale, on sweet potatoes, on spinach, as a salad dressing…heck, you could even pour it on your cheerios.
It will have you reaching into your pocket-bibb for seconds and thirds of whatever you decide to bathe in it.
Peanut Butter Ginger Sauce
PRINT Recipe
- juice of one smallish lemon
- 1 inch freshly grated ginger
- 2 T creamy peanut butter
- 1 t sugar
Combine all ingredients with a blender or with a whisk and pour it all over your life. You’re welcome.
Oh man, that picture is killing me! Baby A is rocking that food!
The sauce sounds a lot like the amazing salad dressing you always see at sushi places. Yum!
Sounds like this would be delicious on almost anything, but I never would have thought to put it on a sweet potato. I’m think soba noodles…
Soba noodles would be SO good. I can’t wait to try it.
Love this combination. It sounds heavenly!
“pour it all over your life” haha, love it and I probably would do just that!
Sounds fabulous and looks adorable.
baby a…gah!! put that kid in some print ads!
Holy Yum!! That looks amazing, and easy to make! “And pour it all over your life” hahah you are hilarious
The photo of Baby A is hilarious, because it looks almost like a self-photo. Like she’s holding the iphone up high with her left hand. That would be awesome…bahahaa “look at my face internet people!!” Okay……anyway, the sauce sounds faaaaaaabulous.
YUM! That sounds great! That photo of Baby A is adorable…I love that you are always at different levels when taking her picture…it makes them so much more interesting!
Pouring! I’m pouring!!
look at you being all foodgawkerish! What’s your secret! They’re still rejecting my loser-ass photos!
Only 4 accepted as of right now…so, I wouldn’t say I know any secrets.
Quanity of photos, maybe? Thank you nonetheless.
well, I now know what I’ll be having for lunch. YUM!
My stepmother was just telling me about this movie she saw on her plane ride (“It’s Time) where people wear their “time-left” in life on their sleeves and it sparked this little philosophical discussion at the breakfast table…when I saw the photo of baby A I just thought “Let’s stop time cuz this baby A is a keeper” although I think she’s only going to grow to be cuter and sweet and awesomer – of – a – little person!
Peanut and ginger is seriously a match made in heaven. So good together!!
“It will have you reaching in to your pocket bib for seconds and thirds…” okay I literally just lol’d, sitting in my car, alone, waiting to pick up kids I nanny. Too funny. But I do love ginger, and peanut butter….
IKEA bib represent!
Daaang. Good eye.
That sauce sounds delicious and that baby is so cute!
I made this and poured it over sauteed veggies and tempeh. Took a boring dish to a delicious meal. Wow, that was corny. Awwwkward.
Yay!! Thanks for letting me know! That makes me so happy (corny line and all).
I just created a new pin board on pinterest because I had none that were right to put that Baby A picture in and it had to go somewhere. OH MY GOSH…CUTEST.BABY.EVER.
Ahh, you are so sweet! Makes my heart happy to know other people think she is as cute as I do.
Ahahaha – that last picture of Baby A is too precious. And just the idea of this sauce sounds so delicious. I would love to do it over a cold noodle dish.
You know, there are four things I could base my entire diet on and be happy for the rest of my life: Oatmeal, cottage cheese, fruit, and PEANUT BUTTER (hence the protein cookie recipe I just posted: http://mealsandmiles.com/.
Suffice it to say: YOUR recipe just made my smile a little bigger!!
Whoops the recipe was supposed to be at http://lifewithcheeseburgers.com/2012/03/07/the-best-peanut-butter-oatmeal-protein-cookies/
My brain is fried from too many night classes! Although I do love Meghann’s site too
Everything is better with peanut butter!

I love your blog and especially the pics of baby A! Your recipes and lunches always give me new ideas to eat fresh. This dressing especially sounds amazing! I have everything to make it right now even. Only thing is I cheat a buy pre-grated ginger. Any idea of how much an inch of fresh yields?
