Last night I awoke to a dentist drilling my teeth!!!!!!
In reality, I woke up to my husband drilling in the basement. He has been doing renos all weekend and apparently he thought it was a good idea to drill and hammer at 11:30pm at night!? Then once he came up to the room I couldn’t fall asleep until 12:30, so my goal of 5:45am wake-up was shot. I did manage to get up around 6:30 though so all was not lost. :)
You know what I discovered?
I love RAW Breakfast Cakes (see here for Baked Breakfast Cake)
Just like cake batter…
I had this mini Raw Breakfast Cake with my breakfast:
This morning’s breakfast featured a new Sherriff in town:
Can you believe this was my first time ever trying cashew butter?!?!?
Oh dear me.
Cashew butter tastes like a DREAM. Rich, creamy, and subtly sweet.
It paired well with this delicious cranberry jam that Chelsea sent me!
Pure heaven…
What is your favourite and least favourite (nut) butter?
I have tried the following:
- Peanut
- Almond
- Cashew
- Pumpkin Seed
- Barney Butter (yes, it deserves its’ own class!!!!!)
- Apple butter (Not a nut butter but oh well!)
I don’t know what it was, but I strongly disliked the pumpkin seed butter!!! Totally not what I was expecting. My favourite hands down was CRACKbutter…otherwise known as…Barney Butter. Ohhhh Emmmm Geeeee, When Bree sent me a bunch of it, I finished them in lightening speed.
I am eager to try out new kinds of butters. What should my next one be?
I think it might be coconut butter. I have been dying to try it!
This morning and most of the afternoon is a shipping day for me. I have over 400 Glo Bars shipping out today. I do all my shipping labels myself (I have a corporate account with Canada Post) as it saves my customers 8% off shipping. I also need to squeeze in a workout and start baking orders once my shipping is done.
It has been raining the past two days! It is currently 6C/43F right now…such a weird winter we are having!
Have a wonderful Moan-day! ;)
Most successful people have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.

I want to try coconut butter too!
You NEED to try sunflower seed butter. It is slightly sweet (like barney butter) and super creamy. It is my latest favorite. In fact, since I got it, I have barely touched my peanut butter. It isn’t as expensive as the others either. And Sunbutter natural is just sunflower seeds, salt and is sweetened with cane juice. I bet it would make a good ingredient for a new glo bar! :D
try pine nut butter and hazlenut butter! mmm mmmmm
I have been DYING to try Barney Butter! But almond butter is definitely my favorite, even if it is more expense than the good ole peanut variety :)
I just tried almond butter for the first time and I am in love. I can’t wait to try cashew and have never heard of Barney Butter, I’ll have to check that out as well too.
I just bought almond butter and I can’t wait to try it. Peanut butter is my absolute favorite but that’s really cuz that’s all I’ve had! ;)
I had a small obsession with Sun Butter (sunfower seeds) when I first tried it!
Also, Nutella- the chocolate Hazelnut spread is sinfully decadent and delicious if you have yet to try it
I’ve never tried cashew butter, looks good! I love peanut and almond – especially flavored versions i.e. dark chocolate. Another one you might like to try is this triple nut butter I am obsessed with…it comes from Vermont and is a combo of almonds, pecans and cashews – it’s amazing!

I thought Trader joe’s Sunflower Seed butter would be tasty-but it tasted like socks! Stinky socks…I can’t seem to love anything more than Adam’s Crunchy salted peanut butter. Though I know it isn’t vegan I have always wanted to try Nutella…
I love almond butter and only recently started eating it since I kinda don’t like nuts. I am getting there though. I think cashew butter sounds great. Maybe my mom will send me some.
Love, love LOVE sunflower seed butter, it’s made my the same company as your Cashew Butter…Nuts to you Nut Butter.
Coconut butter is also amazing, I highly recommend them both!
I have that same cashew butter right now! I’ve been putting it on my oats with molasses ;)
I’m still a natural peanut butter gal, but crunchy almond butter comes in a close second! Pecan butter, hazelnut butter and macadamia butter are all amazing too. They get really liguidy so they’re great for drizzling on things. Not a huge seed butter fan either, never cared for the pumpkin or sunflower stuff I tried.
I’ve only ever tried peanut butter. I’m a healthy living loser. :-(
i looove your breakfast cakes!
and the nut butter that has my heart is called nut n’ budder, it’s made with peanuts, almonds, flax oil and a bit of sugar.
i think canadians definitely got gypped when it comes to nut butters. i’ve never tried barney butter, not to mention all of pb & co’s amazing flavours (liiike dark chocolate dreams or mighty maple) and i wouldn’t even know they existed if it wasn’t for food blogs.
i’ve been really curious about coconut butter too, so go nuts! (….. hahhhh. no nut pun intended.)
Cashew butter IS delicious – tastes exactly like cashews! I would recommend sunflower seed butter!! It’s absolutely amazing. My favorite by far.
Sunflower seed butter, especially from Trader Joe’s, is delicious!
Soynut butter is so-so, but the chocolate soynut butter from Stop & Shop is like crack.
I used to think pumpkin seed butter tasted weird too, but it’s definitely an accustomed taste that I really enjoy now. You just have to aclimatize yourself.
Also to die for is sunflower seed butter! So, so good!
I’ve tried SO many nut butters, but nothing beats almond butter (#1) and peanut butter (#2). Cashew butter is very good and so is hazelnut butter, but I wasn’t a fan of the coconut variety. Can’t wait to see what you try next!

I love almond butter and peanut butter is a close second. While I didn’t mind cashew butter, I haven’t gone back for seconds.
