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.

That’s interesting, because I’ve never even had peanut butter in the house. I hate it, hubby hates it, and when the kid was offered, he hated it. If you can get them to eat something, who cares HOW it’s done.
Atta boy! I thought I was the only person in the whole world that put jam on their grilled cheese sammies! I usually get a “GROSS!” whenever I mention it.
Oh. Wow. Um. Wow. My kid won’t touch the stuff, even though I envision it making my life so much easier…must try pushing the PB with chicken nuggets…
Hey, it it was good enough for Elvis…
Peanut butter on a spoon is our go-to snack. We go through 2-3 jars of Jif Reduced Fat PB here a week. Whatever works.
i don’t know… you could probably open an ecclectic little Bistro in Manhattan and call it “dipped”. People would come…
(but gross…)
At least the grilled cheese AND the PB&J are relatively healthy.
I get grossed out when I see kids take carrots or french fries and merely use them as a vehicle for the ketchup or ranch dressing. Repeatedly. The carrot is essentially a spoon with which to scoop ketchup into their mouths.
Ick!
Great post. My Indians like peanut butter and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup.
As Marie Antoinette would say, “Let them eat…peanut butter!”
isn't it hilarious what kids will and won't eat and how you can get them to eat almost anything by letting them "dip" it?? my girls love ranch dressing … and my boy is a ketchup kid… but they all LOVE pb&j… amazing.
have a great day!!
xoxoxo
That is officially adorable. I love the pic of that picture! Too cute 😉
Dipping in pb&j, huh? Interesting.
Personally, I love peanut butter mixed iwth a little cinnamon and honey and then spread on apple slices. num. num. num.
😉
If my son wasn’t allergic to peanuts I would be dipping his vegetables in it!
