Peanut Butter - various uses


We found a more natural peanut butter, after a few false starts, but I clearly grew up under a rock in regards to its uses...
Here are some that we've picked up (largely because Mr 3.8 loooves it - you'll see the theme soon enough).

  • Peanut butter with apple - this was a really new one to me. Introduced by the babysitter
  • Peanut butter with capsicum - yep, won't touch vegetables without whining ordinarily, but will eat capsicum dipped in peanut butter. Introduced by desperate dad one evening when hummus wasn't cutting it.
  • Ants on a Log - this is relatively new - fill a stalk of celery with peanut butter, give child a small amt of sultanas (raisins in US) to put in PB, and it becomes Ants on a Log, and child who won't eat celery is suddenly eating it by the stalk. In fact, he has cleared his plate to get to Ants on a Log. Ate this at a friends house, and he remembered it and asked for it one evening. He asks for so much, I said no eventually...


I thought I was sophisticated having PB and cheese sandwiches, but I think there is a whole 'nother level of uses here. We have Vegemite, they have Peanut Butter?

Update - my sister recommended a little PB in porridge (and also a little melted chocolate). this was confirmed by a local, with the disclaimer that she did it in college, but not now...
