I think I told you guys the story before of what my mom craved when she was pregnant with me. In fact, I think I did when I made the Peanut Butter and Banana Panini. Anyway, while my mom was pregnant with me this woman craved nothing but Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and bananas. In fact, she told me she would take two pieces of bread, spread peanut butter on both slices, add slices of bananas and peanut butter cups and go to town. In some ways that seems like it would be good, but in large part (to me) that sounds absolutely disgusting. Well, I guess it is true what they say about a kid’s taste buds based upon the cravings of the mom. You haven’t heard that old wives’ tale? They say that a kid grows to like what the mom craves while she is pregnant. Let me just say if my kid grows to like the things I craved while I was pregnant, I am going to have one malnourished kid. I feel for the little guy.
I can believe that old wives’ tale to some degree because, let me tell ya, I love me anything chocolate and peanut butter as a combination. It is one of my kryptonite’s in life and I love it! Now, there are some peanut butter and chocolate desserts that can be a bit much to be honest. Although I see some of those desserts at restaurants or bakeries, I still just have to go for it. Hey, “when in Rome”, right? I lose the battle almost every time. Like now, as I am typing this blog post, it is hard for me to not stop what I am doing, go in the kitchen, and eat a peanut butter cup now. It is pretty bad. You know what I have started saying? If I want something bad enough, it must be the baby. There must be something in whatever I am craving that the baby wants. So I must have it. I know that is horrible, but what is even more horrible is that I actually have conditioned myself to somewhat believe that.
