Hi chocolate pizza pies!
I always marvel how my posts involving peanut butter are much more popular than the others. They even seem to be more popular than my posts involving chocolate. You people need to sort out your priorities! Chocolate should always come first.
Still, I’m glad you liked the Peanut Butter Frosting post. Today’s post involves peanut butter too. But more importantly, it involves the power couple: cinnamon and raisin. Some things are made for each other. Chocolate and raspberry, peanut butter and jelly, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Hmmm, scratch that last one.
The marriage of cinnamon and raisins is guaranteed to last forever. If you need proof, just take a look at the snack I ate yesterday afternoon:
The cinnamon-raisin breakfast pizzert. I added both to the wet mix, then added more cinnamon after it emerged from the oven.
Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Pizzert
Serves 1-2
- 1/2 cup spelt or white flour (or click for a Gluten-Free Version.) (70g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar of choice
- 1/3 cup plus 1.5 tbsp water, juice, or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp (35g) applesauce or melted coconut oil (or veg oil, mashed banana, or even baby food!)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
Mix everything together and pour the batter into a greased pan. Grease very well so the pizzert doesn’t stick to the pan! Cook in an UNpreheated oven set to 420 F, for 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Frost with peanut butter or healthy peanut butter frosting if desired.

cant wait for a GF version! i love cinnamon and raisin, and both by themselves too. big fan.
i think marriage is good if you find the right person. it’s not a must though. i wasn’t going to necessarily get married with my current husband but after we were together for so long (6 years) it felt right. i think if you meet the right person, you will know if it’s right, and you don’t have to rush it for anyone else.
i love older couples too. my grandparents were very cute together. i miss them.
I miss mine too :(. My grandma was always yelling at my grandpa because he had no fashion sense!
I totally think old couples are the cutest thing in the world! But, of course, it took them many years and many struggles to get there.
Funny that you are asking this question because I’ve been thinking a lot about the fact that in any relationship it just has to be the right moment for both people involved.
But, then, of course there are things that always go together: peanut butter and chocolate. Hmm….Does that make peanut butter a bigamist or is it “cheating” on jelly?
lol! Jelly, chocolate, banana… pb really gets around!
I don’t mind the idea of marriage, butI’ve never been someone who imagines my own, or really believes it will happen for me. Compare that to my housemate, who has bridal magazines in the bathroom for reading material and planned every detail of her wedding when she was under 10! Blows my mind…
P.S. I add cinnamon to everything. Everything. As I do with peanut butter 🙂
Today is actually my grandparents’ 65th wedding anniversary. When my grandfather looks at my grandmother, you can still see in his eyes how absolutely in love with her he still is. They make me believe in marriage, and more than that, in love 🙂
Aww, happy anniversary to your grandparents, Gabriela! My grandparents were like that… even when they fought, it was cute!
I agree with you on Brad & Jen! They should get back together 😛
And elderly couples are so totally adorable 🙂
…as for love and marriage, I don’t know that I believe in it. I was in love with someone once before, who slept with my friend on our 2 year anniversary while I was in Thailand. Here I am, three years after our break up, and I FINALLY trusted someone enough to fall in love. He was “perfect”: he held doors for me, gave me kisses on the head, told me he loved, was VEGAN, was mature, smart, fun to be with….then all of a sudden told me that he meant none of it and that this wasn’t right for him. Ouch. Not to mention my friends boyfriends/husbands who flirt with me. So love? I don’t think so.
Yikes :(. See, it’s stuff like that that makes me scared of marriage/trusting someone!
That looks so good, Katie!!
And marriage…geesh. I am in a relationship I actually want to last forever, so my views are probably kind of skewed. I trust him completely, and I do think it is worth the risk. As cheesy as it is, I want to be just like your grandparents:)
I love peanut butter. Just did a whole post of PB Recipes. I eat PB every day 🙂
Marriage. Not easy. Not for every one. Clearly, since the div rate is over 50% it’s not for everyone.
I have been married for 10 years, together for 12. Not every day is a walk in the park. Long term relationships, partnerships, marriage take WORK! And there is also a little bit of luck or a hope and a prayer involved…you dont have any guarantees that 8 yrs in with a child and a mortgage that your hubs is going to want to get up and go to work anymore or that he won’t cheat on you. You hope that love is enough and hope what you have with him is enough.
I wouldn’t be scared to get married. I would rather love and lose than not love at all. And dive in head first. I could give you a bible-length comment here but i will stop 🙂
And if someone doesnt want to get “the piece of paper” and wants to be in a relationship without legally marrying, great. Whatever works for them!
To me, ALL foods are better without peanut butter. Can’t stand peanuts. Bleughhh.
Pizzert looks tasty though 😀
I think that the idea of marriage is wonderful– being committed to someone whom you enjoy and love. However– if you decide they aren’t right for you, are in an abusive relationship, etc. and you are already married, the divorce process is so difficult (and all up to a judge- no thanks!), especially if you have children. Marriage is really all about the ritual– having a celebration of a union with food, family, and friends. You can do that without all the legal complications!
Of course, I don’t know what I will do when the time for that comes. But these are my thoughts a the moment. My mother has shared her experiences with me, which has been helpful. I don’t think that hurdle will come for some time!
