And it is very inexpensive. do you like it? I had some for Breakfast, only I had Peanut-butter and crackers, that is a good snack for you too. Diabetics watch the Peanut-butter because it is high in fat and will make you sugar go up Do you agree? It is healthy though.

Oh yes, I love peanut butter! My husband eats it with spoon right out of the jar, but I'm not that bad. I put it on toast or in a PB&J sandwich. I like some peanut butter cookies, and I especially love the peanut butter pizza/cookie with chocolate frosting that Golden Corral has. Yumm!

It's really not pizza per se, it's just a large flat cookie with chocolate on top that they cut in wedges like a pizza. It's AWESOME!

I love peanut butter so much that I can eat a tub of it in one sitting. I like the natural peanut butter that they sell in my local grocery store. That's peanut butter that only contains the peanuts they grind up and the natural oils they contain with no other oils, sugars or salts. But, I rarely buy it because I just love it so much and don't want to eat it all up. So, I save it until I need it in a recipe or something.

I just love extra chunky peanut butter. I like all kinds, but that is my favorite. When I was a little girl, my mother would scoop peanut butter up on three teaspoons for my two sister's and I. For us, that was a real treat. I still do that from time to time. The only peanut butter that I don't really care much for is the one mixed witt chocolate. I do not know why. I just don't like the combination.

If you get natural peanut butter that contains no sugar or hydrogenated oil then it is not too bad in fat content. That is what my doctor recommends for me.

Gosh I don't know what I would do without the peanut butter. I consider myself lucky that none of my children has had an allergy to peanuts. I grew up eating PB, and so have all my children. When I don't have time to make anything else for their lunch, or I have the picky eaters here it is a life saver. As for diabetics, they now have sugar free peanut butter, I think reeses makes one of them, and I believe maybe Peter Pan does too. My hubby has bought the Resses, he said it was really good. I have the opposite problem I am hypoglycemic, my blood sugar drops, when it does nothing brings it up like a good old peanut butter sandwich, except juice of course, but it is better to bring it up with protein, if possible.

Peanut butter is a life saver for me; I have low blood sugar and peanut butter is always a hero when I am in crisis. I am not much of a meat-eatter and peanut butter helps me get the protein I'm missing. For breakfast I like peanut butter toast--mmm, yum-yum!

I love peanut butter. The fat in peanut butter is the right kind of fat there are good fats and bad fats and peanut butter has the better fat no you can't go and eat the whole jar but a little now and then wont' hurt you.

I like peanut butter even though many people look at the label and see all that fat. But in the end to me i believe all the other good nutrients it supplys kind of out weighs the high fat content. I have heard that sometimes if you get hungry for a snack your just supposed to take i think a tablespoon of peanut butter straight. It apparently will end your food crave and keep your body going better than filling it with a candy bar.

You are right, peanut butter is one of the first things the doctors tell you about when you have sugar issues. I like to smear it on a half of a raisen english muffin for breakfast. It's wonderful on a slice of cinnamon bread also. I keep a jar at work and at home for when my sugar is acting up. There are other types of nut butters out there too. Has anyone tried them?

I love peanut butter, especially peanut butter cookies (more than p.b. sandwiches.) Yes, it is a good source of protein. For quite a few years I lost my taste for p.b.& jelly sandwiches, and I think that had a lot to do with the fact that I took them each and every day to school for lunch. It took me quite a few years of NOT eating them before I actually cared for them again. I like the smooth p.b. far better than the crunchy. So now I have to get 2 jars because my grandson is hooked on the crunchy lol. The only time I like to use the crunchy is if I'm making peanut butter cookies, for some reason I like the nut bits then, but not in a sandwich.
