peanut butter, the accepted crack.

I truly believe that peanut butter is addicting. I think they add crack so you keep coming back,specially in those resse eggs they are selling now. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Nathan has also fallen in love with peanut butter. If I give him something else for lunch and he sees me eating a pb sandwich he screams at me till I give it to him too. So it got me thinking, I should try putting peanut butter on food that hes not crazy about (and others that he is) and seeing what he think.
here are my ideas, I know people love putting pb on bananas, and making banana boats with other fruits which is a good idea. Nathan can not eat whole things like that yet, so I thought I would try putting it on some fruit or veggies that are chopped up.

so I went with pears. He normal wont eat pears, but this time he ate every bit of them.
I added a big glob that he could just dip himself, but he mainly liked just licking his fingers in it.
he sure made the dogs hungry! I accidentally cute the other one out!

I buy the great value fruits and veggies in individual cups. So I just took a knife and coated them each with some pb. I also got out carrels and did the same to them. He didnt mind eating cold since they had pb on them!

Here are some other great ideas to add pb too! :
