Creamy Peanut Butter Pie
Creamy Peanut Butter Pie
I have been trying really hard to make better food choices in the new year. I wear my fitness band all of the time, I try to get exercise in when I can and I’m watching what I eat. I actually started this before the new year, so that I would kind of be ahead of the game on my resolution. BUT…..my sweet tooth gets in the way and I can’t help myself! I just have to have a sweet treat every once in a while and this week it’s this Creamy Peanut Butter Pie! If I do what I’m supposed to do all week long then I get to have one, yummy piece of this. By the time everyone else has some, the pie is pretty much gone so I don’t have to worry about over doing it.

Seriously….the hardest part of this Creamy Peanut Butter Pie is letting it sit in the fridge and chill before you eat it! It is one of my family’s favorite desserts and so easy to make. We are adding new recipes all of the time and you can browse through all of them HERE!
