Whoever invented peanut butter was a genius. It is the best-tasting substance that goes well with just about everything (well maybe not EVERYTHING, but it’s close)! You can enjoy it with honey or jam on a sandwich, an apple, a banana, with chocolate, on ice cream, in a milkshake (a thick PB milkshake is my weakness!) or even in spicy food. My all-time favorite pre-workout snack is having half of a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. In addition, I love having a couple of pieces of whole-wheat toast with peanut butter spread on top with banana slices (pair this with a nice latte and it is SO yummy!).
My passion for peanut butter has been passed on to Keenan, which I love! His favorite sandwich is peanut butter and honey on whole-wheat bread. He actually asks for it almost everyday. We are definitely a peanut butter household. One of my all-time favorite cookie recipes is with peanut butter, of course (Betty Crocker Chocolate Candy Peanut Butter Blossoms). These are the most moist peanut butter cookies I have ever eaten, and they are super easy to make; I highly recommend them if you love peanut butter as much as I do!
I will continue to post more things to do with peanut butter, new recipes I try and any adventures and experiences along the way. With Keenan eating peanut butter so much, there is always a story to tell!
What brand of peanut butter do you like? I’d like to find a good natural peanut butter for all of us, even my picky hubby, to eat. I have my fave almond butter already and it’s nice to have different nut butter options. Thanks!
We buy Smart Balance Rich Roast Chunky Peanut Butter: http://smartbalance.com/products/peanut-butters/omega-peanut-butter-chunky. I like it because it’s all natural, doesn’t have hydrogenated oils, no oil on the top, and it has flax seed added, for some omega-3s. Keenan and my husband love it!
