Peanut Butter!

Sparklene

So good to know I'm not alone in my love of PB!! My college roommate 35 years ago introduced me to PB on bread for breakfast. Ate many a slice while running across campus for an early morning class. I think I can almost count on my hands the number of days I haven't had PB/bread for breakfast. If I go a day or two without it, I'm craving it and can't stand it til I break out the PB jar. (Been known to raid the jar at midnight, like now, when everyone else is sleeping and I have a major craving. lol) I have risen to eating it only on healthy whole-wheat bread, though. And I can eat it at 8 and not be hungry til noon and/or eat it at 10 a.m. and can go til 2-3:00 for lunch. If I try to go "fat-free," and eat cereal, I'm hungry in an hour.

My usual breakfast is PB on whole wheat with half a banana if have one on hand and a small glass of OJ. I'm trying to quit drinking my calories, though.

I spread peanut butter on a rice cake and then top it with fresh fruit like blueberries or sliced banana. Great for breakfast!
Peanut butter and honey is one of my favorite food combinations! I love peanut butter and honey on a waffle or toast! My grandma used to make me peanut butter and honey sandwiches!

That is my 5yo's fav!! She loves her PB & honey sandwiches. I made her one for lunch at school almost every day this year! :laugh: She also loves PB & honey on pancakes or waffles. Much better option than syrup!! :huh:

Well your 5 year old has very good taste!
Yep, peanut butter and honey on a waffle is far superior to syrup...in my opinion anyway!
Never tried it on a pancake. I like cream cheese and strawberry jam on my pancakes. But that's a whole other subject! :laugh:
Mmmmm...now I'm hungry!

LOL peanut butter helped make me fat, I went through a jar of it within two days each week! But man...I'll never give it up. Never never never!!! I'm relearning how to eat in moderation now

For some odd reason, I forgot or was too busy to eat much today, so I splurged tonight and ate vanilla wafers with peanut butter and cream cheese frosting. I think I'm in heaven!

I bought some almond butter but it is not the same! I'm going back to my peanut butter

I had a PBJ for lunch today, and I swear I am ready to reach for that jar again after reading this thread! Hmmm, wonder how pb and hummus would go together? :laugh:

arashton

I love PB --any kind-- on top of my banana... and if I have some good local honey around, a drop or two with each bite

BTW I heard that God serves this in Heaven ! ! !

Eating a bedtime snack right now - one slice Earthgrains 7 grain bread, a little butter, and my new PB&J Bee's Knees peanut butter. MMM!

I see your "MMMMMMMMM!!! " and raise you 5 "MMMMMMMMM!!! 's"

You just rock!! I have to say!! Excellent taste in spreads!! :laugh:

How do you like yours? On a sandwich? Celery? Sliced Apple? Cracker? Directly out of the jar on a spoon??

Or all of the above? :glasses:

I love my peanut butter!! I love it on toast, right out of the jar, on a sandwich, apple, you name it. When I was a bad girl I used to get a tub of Betty Crocker milk chocolate frosting and a jar of Jiff and sit in front of the TV eating alternate spoonfuls. Ahhhh, the good ole days. LOL :bigsmile:

CarmenSantiago

I need some peanut butter soon!! :glasses:

I make my son a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day for his sack lunch. I just got done making his lunch and I didn't dare even lick the knife.

The writing's on the wall after that. You'd find me in the corner passed out, fat and happy, in a peanut butter spun stuper, with a spoon and an empty jar of Jiff. Peanut butter on my nose from trying to lick the jar clean. LMAO

Chunky PB + grape jelly+ toasted bagel = MMMMM!!!!

Makes me want to make a trip to the fridge right now. Too bad it's midnight. :grumble: A big NO-NO! Ah well, sleep - here I come. :yawn:

lynnie25

Been indulging in PB and sliced banana on wholewheat toast lately - MMMMMMMMMMM! But I can't do it often. But it's sooooooooo good! Also love PB on graham crackers then dip it all in milk. OH, baby!

This morning PB redeemed that Ezekial cinnamon raisin toast!

Just went to the grocery store to pick up my special order of PB&J Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter. Going out to the car to carry it in now, then heading for a spoon!

One of my favorite late-night snacks: Quaker "Chocolate Crunch" rice cake, with 1 tbs chunky pb, 1 tsp honey, and sliced frozen strawberries. Omg...heaven!

Peanut Butter, a spead???? My worst weakness. I eat it by the spoonsful ... am trying to stop. Of course, it is Jiff's reduced fat. Gwen

I have been searching for this peanut butter:

Naturally More (www.naturallymore.com)

Site says you can purchase it from Wal-Mart here in Michigan. No luck so far.

When i am in a hurry to get the kids out to school i give them 2 light waffles w PB & J in the middle, a breakfast sandwich!:bigsmile:

Wishful

I just ate 8 mini saltine cracker sandwiches made with a half tablespoon of peanut butter. Yum!

Yes, I think this thread could get to be like the hummus one!

Hey, we are a bunch of smart chicks!!

I like peanut butter and sliced banana on toasted bread!

It is a great "treat" to have, especially if you have a lot of calories at the end of the day.

I love peanut butter too, but too many spoonsfuls has lead to jarfuls so I no long allow myself to eat it like that. I used to insist (to myself only) that if no one saw me eat it, it didn't count. Now if no one sees me eat it, it counts twice!! :laugh: No more closet eating for me!

I love a Tablespoon of Naturally More PB on a Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb (the little ones) with 1/2 banana sliced and wrapped like a buritto! It's a wonderful on the go snack or breakfast and it packs pretty good in a pinch too!

I got my Naturally More PB at the WalMart in Alpena, MI. They don't carry Agave though, which is disappointing.
