However, I see today is National Peanut Butter Lovers Day, so I guess I am going to have to eat some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today. However, I just learned National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day isn't until April 2.
Today is a sticky day. National Peanut Butter Lover's Day salutes America's favorite sandwich spread. What kid didn't grow up loving a PB&J sandwich? It's a staple in our house.
Smooth Peanut Butter is by far the most popular. Crunchy peanut butter is also on the market, and is enjoyed by many. Peanut Butter is not limited to a Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB&J) sandwich. It's popular on crackers, celery and other "peanut butter" holders. It is also used in recipes for cookies and snacks. And, don't forget peanut butter candies, too!
Did you Know? Peanut Butter is 90% or more peanuts. While it has no artificial preservatives, an opened jar is stored on a shelf at room temperature.
Celebrate today with a little (or a lot) of Peanut Butter. If you can, make your own Peanut Butter. Its a fun project that the kids will enjoy doing with you

Peanut Butter is America's favorite sandwich spread. What kid didn't grow up with PB&J sandwiches as a staple for lunch? There's a huge range of uses in recipes and snacks.
Its easy to make your own Peanut Butter. Here's how....
Ingredients:
2 cups roasted shelled, unsalted peanuts
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional for low salt diets)
Preparation Directions:
Place peanuts, oil, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend well, until desired texture is reached.
Place peanut butter in airtight container.
For crunchy peanut butter, add 1/4 cup of peanuts and blend again, but, for just a short burst or two.
The oil can separate from the peanuts during storage. Simply stir and serve.
If you knew it was this easy, you'd probably have made you own Peanut Butter years ago.
