National Peanut Butter Day

Thanks to Leite's Culinaria's site I found out today is National Peanut Butter Day. hmmm.. This believe paste it or not was introduced to me when I was already in college. The reason for that being I lived most of my childhood in Europe where Peanut butter is not as widespread as here in the States. Nutella was our to go spread as kids.

So in college I must admit I cannot recall who introduced me to that new paste, I tried it and I was not very excited about it and did not bother with it for a while until I met my husband who loves peanut butter with apples. What an odd combination I thought to myself. I did try that too and still not sold on it - meanwhile he makes fun of a tradition I grew up with which is cheese with banana!

I believe it was after we had our first child that I started buying and trying different type of peanut butter that I eventually found one I liked (more homemade type and not creamy and all but chunky).

Will I now eat peanut butter with apples? nope... still not my fave, but I do like it on bread and desserts. So to all out there Happy National Peanut Butter Day and let me know which way you like to eat your peanut butter. I am opened to suggestions and trying different things
