Enjoy National Peanut Butter Month with CGH

When you think of November, many foods come to mind.  Turkey, cran­ber­ries, even pumpkin, but would you be sur­prised to know that November is National Peanut Butter Month.

According to a recent story on Yahoo! Voices, “Why is peanut butter so spe­cial that it deserves its very own month? Why can’t we just lump it in with National Peanut Month in March? Well, if you think we should do that, you must not be much of a peanut butter fanatic! Peanuts are tasty and have a lot of uses in var­ious snack and dessert recipes, among others…but peanut butter just takes the peanut to the next level and makes it even more ver­sa­tile. According to the National Peanut Board, more peanuts are used to make peanut butter than for any other use-​​and, peanut butter is con­sumed in nearly 89 per­cent of house­holds in this country. So, now are you con­vinced that peanut butter deserves its own month?”

Growing up as kids I know I had my fair share of ants on a log, peanut butter and jelly sand­wiches, and peanut butter cookies, but we have some­thing extra spe­cial to share with you today…our top 5 must try peanut butter recipes for this weekend!  Whether its a main dish or a sweet dessert, this legit­i­mate legume spread has us all a little nutty!
