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.

I love peanut butter, too. I don’t feed it to the kids in the morning (except on weekends) because I’m afraid they’ll have stray peanut residue on them and cause some other child to have an allergic reaction. What do you give your peanut butter kids for school lunches? PB and nuts and, I think, eggs are all banned from school lunches here.
It is always interesting how kids are so different from each other. My son, age 6, will not eat PB at all. No way, yuck. And no to jelly as well. If I ask him to eat a PB&J he acts like it's a fate worse than anything!
Well, now I know what’s up with your coccyx. Peanut butter.
Peanut butter is the only way the girl will eat fruit. Apples, pears, bananas, coated with PB.
Please take photos of spaghetti and meatballs and PB and J – it can’t be worse than the spaghetti and syrup from ELF!
I have a mutant toddler. She HATES peanut butter with a passion. The commenter above me calls what the New England locals call the same thing, fluffernutters…it’s the same thing but Imp even hates those, and in fact, they’re kinda tasty in a *once a year* type way.
I really wish I could get Imp to at least give peanut butter a try!
Little Logan eats what we call a fluffanator sandwich. Its Peanut Butter with Marshmellow Fluff. I personally to not partake of the fluffanator. 🙂
OMG, that is too funny! I'm glad that my kids never got to the "dip everything in pb&j" phase, even though pb&j remains one of our fav things to eat too.
Amy isn't a fan of the peanut butter. Actually, she's more of an 'occasional taste maybe possibly' type girl.
But sultanas (rasins)? She would eat them ALL day if I let her. She is also a big fan of mayonnaise (not with anything to dip in it, just alone), honey on anything and everything and olives.
I wonder what plain cooked spaghetti would be like with PB&J…

drama king is allergic to peanuts and i spent many many years using different knives for the peanut butter and the jam so there was no cross-contamination.
it’s funny that i still do the same thing today, even though he hasn’t lived at home for more than 2 years!
