I just finished eating a Peanut butter, Mayo and pickle sandwich on toasted whole wheat bread. I was raised on this and love it to this day. I asked my mom (85) where this came from and she thought it was from camp when she was a little girl. I had never heard of anyone who ate these sandwiches before but now I at least know that our family is not alone in appreciating this culinary delight. I haven’t been able to convince any of my kids to eat this but they have a Norwegian mother who has NO imagination and even less taste.
Hint: Try this with Trader Joes mayo and some spicy pickles. Pure delight!!!!

Peanut butter, chocolate, and banana is the best, however. Or honey instead of chocolate. Delicious.

The most horrible combination I’ve ever heard of, though, is peanut butter-and-raw-onion sandwiches. *shudders*

My family is Dutch Canadian and we eat both peanut butter/brown sugar and peanut butter/chocolate sprinkle sandwiches. (by the way, chocolate sprinkles are called hagelslag in Dutch - chocolate hail.)
Our new pastor and his wife are from the States, and for coffee hour after church she made a huge plate of PB and J sandwiches that *looked* beautiful. Really. But none were eaten because up here in the Great White North we don’t eat peanut butter and jelly together. Ugh. Y’all up there are straaaange people.

Emily, the PB, bacon, and onion on wheat actually sounds pretty good. I’ll have to try that someday.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention my favorite PB concoction in the midst of my earlier penaut butter thrill! Someone has already mentioned it, but it would definitely be peanut butter frosting on chocolate cake. In fact, it’s the only frosting I’ll eat!

My daughter sent me to your blog as proof that if I would just post about peanut butter my comment section would (finally) take off. She may be on to something!

While I’m racking my brain for a peanut butter related post, I did link to your closet organization post. Thanks for being willing to share your experiences with younger (and older) women. Titus 2 Gals are a rare breed.

My mouth is WATERING! I am a total peanut butter addict, and have taught my children to regularly proclaim the greatness of God for creating peanut butter. And I’m thankful to my husband for introducing me to the real deal — the all-natural, turbo-charged, salted, super chunky, peanut-glory kind (since I grew up on Skippy). Thank you all so much for sharing these bold and enticing ideas! Mmmmm… I know what we’re having for lunch today.

Okay, I’m a bit late here, but can’t resist sharing my favorite: chunky peanut butter, bacon (preferably still warm), and red onion slices on whole wheat. MMMMM!

Peanut Butter Dog biscuits!
That reminds me of something funny my Dad used to do…
He would cover a dip-sized Frito with a gigantic blob of peanut butter, and give it to our basset hound.
The dog was so appreciative, and the peanut butter left him grinning and chomping with such gusto, and for such a long time. Ridiculous fun.
