Guess what? I’m a Food Superhero!
Or…maybe I’m not a Food Superhero (because of the whole E.D thing)
BUT I play one on the interwebs.
Superhero Name: Peanut Butter Pickle Princess
Human Name: Missy
Food Superpower: Snap! I see right through food labels.
Food Kryptonite: Sugar
Weapons of Choice:
Oh, SNAP!
After all – I meet the criteria (criterion?).
I got an email from FoodCorps saying that Stonyfield will donate $1 to them if I simply gave my super Peanut Butter Pickle Prowess some street cred and went public.
Didn’t have to ask me twice. I loveLoVeLOVE FoodCorps.
It’s, in a way, a dream job. I would apply (really!) however they don’t have a location in Florida yet and I can’t do cold <—and yes, it’s that bad. (Also, I should look healthy if I’m-a preach healthy and people keep telling me I don’t so I must accept that).
Their Vision:
We envision a nation of well-nourished children: children who know what healthy food is, how it grows and where it comes from, and who have access to it every day. These children, having grown up in a healthy food environment, will learn better, live longer, and liberate their generation from diet-related disease.
If your jealous – and I know you’re jealous — click here and do something right for the world (if you want).
And while you’re at it join my crusade!
You can come willingly..
Or be taken by force.
You’re choice. But PLEASE – If you join the Peabee and Pickle Party
Half Sours people. Half. Sours.
- I’m curious, do you meet the Food Superhero criterion?
I am like the dirtiest produce eater EVER<—Ev.Er.
but I gave myself a check for at least knowing what the EWC list is and being aware of the dirty dozen. I also don’t buy organic usually but I KNOW about it. So be liberal and give yourself credit!
You are definitely a food super hero, and you give me yummy ideas. I didn’t know you lived in Florida. My parents live in Daytona. Sending love and {{{HUGS}}}!
<3
Yup – I live in South Florida – Fort Laudedale.
You just knew I would be jealous! I don’t get how come? (Hihihi) But you just did!
You bet I would be joining the troops of Superheroes!
Meanwhile enjoying your happy/meaningful post. Those Peanut Butter Pickles do look like Princess worth delights
Becaue everyone is born wanting super powers..
I <3 half sour pickles. since i was a little kid. when i was pregnant i would suck the juice out of them…weird, i know…
No, not weird. I would drink picle juice even when though I am not preggers <–ew dont we hate that word.
I wonder if it would make a good dirty martini — olives/pickles…hmmm
I have a confession to make: I don’t like pickles.
But I lurvvv PeeBee!
I love small pickles but NOT the peanut butter. (Enter the major cringe via Missy.)
We all have our own tastes and preferences. I respect them as they are.
I’m open to trying some new things, but would love the support of those like Missy to be “by my side” when I do so.
I’m not a “Food Superhero” but have donated to the cause you’ve brought up. (It truly is so proper.) In my neck of the woods we have a Freshmobile (https://www.facebook.com/MadisonFreshmobile). Because as I walk the hood and see it littered with “junk food scrappings” I am grateful for programs as such that bring awareness and warrant a good, wholesome alternative to what is and has become a norm.
Good on you Superhero! Good on you!
And Beans – you are my bestestest person and I don’t mind if you sip the PeaBee you have good cause. PISTACHIO BUTTAH baby.
And,…..gherkins….baby toad penis.
That’s fine Angela BUT you should probably not say that until you try HALF SOURS.
And I love that you picked up Peabee. I also call almond milk al-moo. LoL.
I work at a local co-op and that has made me really care a bit more about the QUALITY of the food I eat and not just the quantitative measurements of it, if ya know what I mean…
QUALITY is so important. I know exactly what you mean. Even down to the hippie stuff I jive with lie that good karma and crafted with love and integrity….our bodies absorb all that.
Criteria (criterion is singular). You know the nerd in me had to do that.
I tried the pb-pickle thing right after you first posted about it and YEAH. But this is a shameful question….what’s half sour? I haven’t seen these mystical pickles of which you speak, empress.
My mission in life is to be sure that anyone attempting the PBPick do it with HALF SOURS.
I’ll email you though because you will be ON them like….donkeykongwhiteonrice. Make them badboys.
Hihi, this post was my first read this morning and I could not have found a more delightful one.
Also, this is a very important cause to me.
Only… I just cannot imagine peanutbutter and pickle together. (and there goes my super hero credibility…)
I love pickles (there is a spicy variety I could eat half a glass of in one going) but peanutbutter just has never been something I’ve considered buying. There is some of the sugary variety in some supermarkets here in Germany but it’s pretty rare and I’ve never seen a “healthy” one.
Time to educate my super hero self, i guess
BEEEEE!!!
And not being able to imagine PB and Pickle does not mae you sub-super hero. It makes you normal!
OMG You need peanut butter stat.
Heehee… I’ll give it a try. The peanutbutter (I heard you can buy the unsweetened variety in some organic stores) as well as the combination.
Cool, I meet the “food superhero” criteria.
However I must confess that I don’t like pickles. *blush* PB is good though.
I am not the tyrant I appear to be…lol. Love see no pickle preference.
I haven’t tried these pickles but I quite like those miniature cocktail gherkins! I don’t think I am a superfood hero, but I do think about my choices! You are funny as ever! You never fail to make me smile Missy!
From one fellow gherkin lover to another, I value your enjoyment of them. Missy; she has let me know her disdain for them. I don’t feel so alone now. Thank you.
See above – Love see no Pickle Preference.
But…yeah. I judge. (If you’re not buying pickles from a refrigerator shut up and go home…you’re doing it wrong …etc)
BUt gherkinds- Mom loves em –people do.. and I just….
*shudder*
I think you definitely are a superhero already, Missy, and if you really truly want to be in that program, it’s a great goal for you to have, might it help you, to have another reason to look a bit healthier? I know we have to ultimately do it for ourselves, but sometimes it helps to have a motivator until we are able to.
I love gherkins so much. I also love peanut butter. But I have never, ever tasted them together!!!!
I’m not even near superhero status… um.. NO. I don’t have a clue about Organics, for example, except that they are free of pesticides and chemicals and stuff and they cost a heck of a lot more. I do shop the perimeter, that’s how I get to the inner aisles. That’s about it though!
Yeah. I actually am woring a lot with motivation. I was supposed to write about it for Zoe but….stupid password.
I’ll write here though.
Ah I get it now, you were going to do a guest post? I emailed mine to her before she went away so I don’t have it
never mind, not the end of the world. I know the motivation thing, mine waxes and wanes too. Because we are human and it stands to reason that doing something so painful and difficult isn’t always going to make us feel “OMG I LOVE THIS FIGHT AND SOO CAN’T WAIT TO LEAP OUT OF BED AND GET STUCK INTO IT AGAIN TODAY!” If it was that easy I think all of us would be a heck of a lot better already!
*hugs*
OMFG. I’ve never experienced a pickle and PB concoction! I don’t know of why because it seems like something that would be directly up my alley!… probably, when I think hard about it, it’s because an entire jar of PB is much more damaging than one entire jar of sugar free heinz ketchup! Yes, I’m a pickle and ketchup kind of gal. I’ve ordered specifically that at restaurants in the past, mostly in my bulimic-dining-out-with-colleagues-luncheons. They sucked! (both the colleagues and luncheons, LOL). I’d support your cause, but I just donated to Atlas Shrugged, the movie. A girl’s gotta save her pennies for that which tugs at her soul. Helping farmers does not. xo
So if it’s not calories but portion they do have PB in single serve packets. Like clean nut btters, not the Jif or Barney.
Ps- Its free and cause is for Kids. But not your thing anyway.
I have no good comment. I just keep LOLing for real
Your sense of humor is so wonderful
I gotta start eating pb so I can try this!! You can absolutely get healthy and be a motivator for great nutrition! Having goals like that keep us going. And having faith in ourselves and confidence in our beliefs doesn’t hurt either
You have to start eating peanut butter. Period. Full Stop. Ends There. Because.
LOL. It’s just so goooood.
