What Would You Do with a Case of Peanut Butter?

By Paige Brady, March 5, 2010  |  Meet the Blogger  |  More Posts by Paige Brady
cookie_pbcc Congrats to Charlie G, our randomly selected winner for the case of peanut butter giveaway! Here's a confession: My brother ate nothing but peanut butter (on bread) for an entire year. He was a little kid and my mom obviously wasn't taking control of his diet! He wanted peanut butter and she let him have it. Of course there are all kinds of things wrong with that and, luckily, he's outgrown the obsession. He still loves peanut butter and (in moderation) there's everything right about that! So, what would you do with a case of peanut butter? Read on for a chance to win one! It doesn't matter how you like it-smooth, crunchy, unsweetened or no salt added-we've got you covered with our 365 Everyday Value® Organic Peanut Butter at $3.49 for 18oz. And guess what? Our March/April issue of The Whole Deal has a $1.00 off coupon. Print the online coupon or pick up the value guide with coupons in our stores. Now that's a tasty deal. Do you think that peanut butter is kind of all the same? We don't. In our experience, the peanuts that go into that jar make a big, flavorful difference, and organic makes even more of a difference. That's why we require the best-tasting organic peanuts for the peanut butter that wears our name. The organic Spanish peanuts used in our 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter are grown by several family farmers in West Texas, like the Bingham Family. Organic-PeanutCliff Bingham is a 4th generation farmer. His wife, five sons, six daughters, son-in-law and granddaughter - along with the grandparents - are involved in the family farming business. Bingham Family Vineyards and Farm not only grows peanuts, they grow wine grapes for Texas wineries and organic row crops like cotton, wheat, rye, black-eyed peas, blue corn, sesame and garbanzo beans. When they aren't farming, the Bingham family is big into playing music - many of the kids play multiple instruments and perform with the Lubbock Youth Symphony Orchestra. The family enjoys playing a variety of music including classical, country, gospel, fiddle and wedding songs! With all those active kids, I bet that family eats a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But aside from PB&J, there are many delicious, grown-up and fun, not-so-grown-up ways to eat peanut butter. Here are a few of our favorites: lettucewrapschilinoodlesApple Sandwiches with Granola and Peanut Butter Lettuce Wraps with Chile Peanut Noodles Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Curry Coconut Peanut Sauce Peanutty Udon Noodle and Tofu Salad PB & J Pancakes So, how do you enjoy peanut butter? Let us know in the comments by March 12th (edit: extended to March 16th since you all LOVE peanut butter so much!) and you’ll be entered to win a case of 365 Everyday Value® Organic Peanut Butter! And, by the way, my brother is NOT eligible to win.

Peanut Butter is my life. Me and My friend from culinary school can sit there and talk about it for hours. I think about different ways I can use Peanut Butter. I can go thru a jar in 3 days. hahaha I eat it with bananas, maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon or just grab a spoon and eat it right out of the jar. :) The most important thing is that I like good quality peanut butter :)

I love peanut butter on toast with bananas in the morning...so delicious. Peanut butter is also great for dipping apples and in a great sauce on top of soba noodles with a little chili paste for heat! Oh and my boyfriend loves to eat it right out of the jar after a work out :)

William (Bill) is 83 years old and when we married (second time for both of us. Our mates both died of cancer.) when I asked what's your lunch look like, he replied, "Two slices wheat bread, 2/3 of it for cheese spread -- the other third for my peanut butter. Then seven baby carrots... Oh, and one half of an apple" I replied, "Seven carrots? Not eight or six? Seven? And you have peanut butter everyday?!" "Every day of my life! Peanut butter is food fit for the gods!" I had no quarrel with him. He looks and acts like a healthy and happy 50 year old and he takes no medicines! Although white, he still has almost all his hair. He always tells his doctor during his yearly checkups, "I tell you,it's the peanut butter! It's food fit for the gods!"

Wow, besides a great dip for fruit & veggies, I think I would try to vegan-ize my mother-in-law's recipe for peanut butter cake.

I think I missed the deadline, but just had to share my Dad's passion for Peanut Butter and sweet pickle relish sandwiches that he learned to enjoy while a sailor in WWII. Its a great flavor if you are brave enough to try it! His second favorite was Peanut Butter and brown sugar on whole wheat bread, which I see others have mentioned. When it comes to decadent pleasures, I count these two treats come in rated very high in my book!

Oh My! I was a very picky eater as a child and grew up on peanut butter with honey, jam or banana sandwiches. I still eat peanut butter all the time. I especially like using it in curry. However, I admit to being a bit of a weirdo. Someone once introduced me to bacon & peanut butter sandwiches. Sounds strange to most folks - but they are awesome!!

Ok, so this is an old post, but I just had to share a delicious peanut butter involved recipe. So growing up my mother gave my sister and I all sorts interesting foods to try, but this is by far the oddest AND most delicious. A grilled cheese with bacon and peanut butter. Now before you yak just give the idea a chance. Use your favorite bread, favorite cheese, and if you dont eat meat you can omit the pork (but its best with bacon as is all things). Pick your favorite peanut butter and just put a thin layer over one slice of bread, place crisp bacon on the peanut butter, and then 2 slices of cheese. Grill. Pull from heat when the cheese and peanut butter have fused into a wonderful gooey celebration of life. Slice and pull apart just enough to show off the sticky tendrals. Enjoy. Please try this before you discard it. YUM
