When I was a kid, I took peanut butter sandwiches to school ever single day - from first grade through high school. Peanut butter and grape jelly, actually.
After school and on weekends, I ate peanut butter with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. Or with bananas. Or peanut butter with pickles.
Through the years, I've probably tried almost everything with my peanut butter. Real strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Peanut butter and chocolate kisses. Even peanut butter and balogna and cheese (as a kid).
What about you? How do you like your peanut butter? Creamy or crunchy? With jelly or with something else?

I remember not minding peanut butter back in the day. Nowadays I don't like it so much as it tends to give me heartburn, but that's probably just all the preservatives they've jammed into the stuff now. I usually liked the smooth kind because the peanuts in the chunky kind never actually taste like peanuts and it's hard to spread on anything that isn't toast. And I never cared much for toast... still don't. Usually I had it with jam or honey.

You make a good point. The "natural" peanut butter is probably much better for you. It's a pain, though, because you have to keep mixing up the oil into the peanuts before you spread it.

Oh yes! Peanut butter and honey is another great combination. I haven't had that for a while. Thanks for the reminder.

I love peanut butter so much, I can't keep it in the house. I would eat it all and gain so much weight. I really like natural peanut butter, that's the peanut butter that only contains peanuts straight up. It has no added oil, sugar, or salt. It's usually smooth, but you can add your own nuts to it to make it crunchy. I like to mix it with chocolate, the most, or just eat it straight by itself. I plan to make some bread and eat peanut butter sandwiches again.

I am quite fond of peanutbutter.
peanut butter goes well with green - in a lettuce leaf rolled up is yum! on crispy ribs of celery! on a sandwich with slices of pickled jalepeno...mmmmm.
for sweets I like it heated up with maple syrup or made into a sauce for over ice cream

I like crunchy peanut butter, but my husband prefers the smooth,so we usually have both in the cupboard.
My new favorite thing for peanut butter is to mix it into vanilla ice cream - yummm!!!!
I can't even imagine peanut butter with lettuce and tomatoes. I must say that's a first for me!
