National Peanut Butter Day
Posted Wednesday, January 24, 2007 at 06:39PM
It’s a darn good thing I clicked over to YumSugar today, or I would never have known it’s National Peanut Butter Day. Gimme a P! Gimme a B! Gimme a yay!
For us ‘Murikans, peanut butter has to be the ultimate comfort food. Who among us (well, except for the horribly allergic) weren’t weaned on a steady diet of PB&Js? Maybe you swapped out the J for some bananas for your first gourmet venture at age eight or so. And don’t even get me started on Fluffernutters. (Can you believe they still make Fluff, and still with the same retro packaging?)
Today, as with so very many classic ingredients, peanut butter has gone gourmet. No longer are your choices restricted to Jif versus Skippy, or smooth versus crunchy. Now, you have a rainbow of peanut buttery goodness to choose from. So what do choosy mothers choose now?

Peanut Butter, Hold the Crap
Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 at 02:24PM
We are always impressed with bloggers who are able to convey pithy matters with grace and eloquence. And in the words of, um, The Food Ass: “Stop eating crap.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. But he’s on to something. Most store-bought peanut butters are in fact full of crap. Luckily, Mr. Ass does some legwork for us and brings us a jarful of crap-free Smucker’s Natural Peanut Butter with Honey. He even includes a pic of the ingredients on the label so you can see how perfectly crapless it is. We’re just here to spread the word. Sean

The magnesium miracle
Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 at 10:31PM
We need magnesium to keep our heartbeat strong, our blood pressure in check, and our arterial muscles healthy. But most Americans only get half of their magnesium needs (400 milligrams) each day. To boost your intake, Nine Dejanvier at The Cardio Blog recommends loading up on avocados, nuts, spinach and other leafy green vegetables, lentils, wheat germ, and bran. One of the most magnesium-rich combos around: a peanut butter and banana sandwich - bonus points if it’s on whole wheat.
