I have a new addiction.

I discovered Naturally Nutty’s Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter via Kath. (And man alive, not only does Kath post every meal each day, she manages to blog WHILE SHE MOVES. I feel sooo lazy.)

This is some of the most amazing stuff I’ve ever eaten. It’s got a bit of a gritty texture, reminiscent of when you cream butter and sugar together to start a cookie batter. The taste I can best describe as the coating on fried ice cream at a Mexican restaurant. The stuff is organic, allergy-friendly, and contains hemp and flaxseed oils (and, uh, don’t eat a whole bunch right out of the gate if you’re not used to eating flax… just sayin’).

I was really worried that I’d hate the stuff because I looked forward to it so eagerly from the minute I ordered it online. I actually ran down the driveway and met the UPS delivery person because I was so enthusiastic. Spread between two pizzelles (the ones at Costco are all-natural and have only 23 calories each!) and washed down with almond milk, this is my new favorite indulgence. Kath said the butter tastes like frosting, but all I can think of is the crust on the fried ice cream with a little piece of fried flour tortilla sprinkled with cinnamon. I’ve been putting the butter in oatmeal, smoothies, blended into iced coffee… you name it.The first taste is always my [Tired Metaphor Alert!] Proustian voyage back to a birthday meal at the local Mexican restaurant, with my eight-year-old self in a sombrero, happily pigging through the platter. Clearly, not much has changed. I still have a penchant for silly-ass hats (not to be confused with silly ass-hats) and delectable desserts.

I’m in love. Mr. B doesn’t like it, which means I get both jars allll to myself. That’s good, because I’ve already eaten half of the one I opened on Thursday night.

I am not being compensated for telling you guys about this. I just think you should know about it. Please don’t wipe them out though… I’m going to need more soon.
