Ewww…I am not sure peanut butter and blood should be mentioned in the same sentence.
Reid (5) is a pb&j man. He has one for every breakfast. Sometimes he asks for an additional one. Sometimes he has a side of breakfast cereal. Every once in awhile he mixes it up and has peanut butter and honey. He would then have pb&j for lunch and dinner, but I have a one pb&j-based-meal per day rule.
Rhett (2 1/2) is more of a peanut butter renaissance man. There are no rules when it comes to peanut butter. If a little is good, a lot is better. If something tastes good. If you dip it in peanut butter it will be much better.
Lately Rhett has become a picky eater. He requests “cinnamon bread with raisins, toasted, with peanut butter and raisins on top” for every meal. He is also a fan of the raisin. My one cinnamon-bread-with-raisins-toasted-with-peanut-butter-and-raisins-on-top-based-meal per day rule really cramps his style.
A few nights ago I had the audacity to make the boys grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. You would have thought I was requesting Rhett to ingest dirt. I suggested dipping the sandwich in ketchup. That wasn’t good enough.
Then I remembered my favorite lunch at a little restaurant in Vail. It is a 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich with microgreens and a side of cherry chutney. HEAVEN. The cheeses are creamy and white, almost brie-like and it tastes amazing dipped in the cherries.
Let’s try dipping your grilled cheese in jam!
Then I want peanut butter!
And that is how Rhett dipped his grilled cheese in peanut butter and jelly.
And that is how Rhett dipped his chicken nuggets the next day in peanut butter and jelly.
And that is how everything I serve the boy from this day forth shall be dipped in peanut butter and jelly.
Spaghetti and meatballs anyone?If it were not for the peanut, my two youngest children would be withering away. Peanut butter is Nirvana lifeblood.

Sounds like My Two Ethans – especially my 3 year old Ethan. He has to have *something* to dip his food into. And then he goes the extra mile and licks the plate clean of the dipping sauce (ketchup, PB, ranch… there are no limits)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting my page! Always looking forward to your posts.
If you split open my 12 year old daughter, nothing but peanut butter would pour out. I’m just saying.
how gross, but whatever works right?
I suppose I will have to say “Don’t know it until you’ve tried it” (I haven’t, but will pass no judgements on this particular culinary delight.)
At least they’re eating, so whatever works, I say!!
Besides, I like Fritos and bananas, so I can’t say a thing.
My kid likes to dip her chicken nuggets in the caramel sauce that comes with the apple slices so why not peanut butter and jelly? If the kid is willing to eat it then let him go.
I have worried for years that our schools will say no peanut butter because of allergies and I will have to watch my kiddos wither up before my eyes.
I’m a huge peanut butter fan myself. Next time you make them pancakes with horrendously expensive WS maple syrup, make sure you put peanut butter on the pancakes. Delish!
That may be one of the best real-life examples of get-‘er-done that I’ve ever heard.
Seriously, I am such a believer in whatever works.
How is it that your boys don’t have their own cooking show and off the charts popular restaurant? The pork industry would surely sponsor it.
so icky…but if it gets the kids to eat…
My 9 YO hates peanut butter. Who does that?
My 3 YO, on the other hand, could live on Peanut Butter and Honey. And I just remembered that we are out of Honey…
