Another National Peanut Butter Day has passed. Sure, one special day is nice, but peanut butter lovers know that peanut butter isn’t just a one-day event—it’s a universe unto its own. EVERYthing tastes better when peanut butter’s on the scene. What’s your favorite peanut butter delight? Is it cookies? Candy (including fudge)? Peanut butter and crackers? How does Puppy Chow, the Snack, grab you? (Our recipe box holds one more fave where PB is the star of the show—friend Leona’s streusel coffeecake. To die for!)
The jar with the red lid holds Field Day's crunchy peanut butter, the jar below it contains smooth PB. That bowl next to the jars is roasted almond butter.
Crazy how things work out. On National Peanut Butter Day, UPS rolled up to the curb and delivered a box full of goodies Field Day wanted me to try: cereals (you’ll hear more about them another time), and their crunchy and smooth peanut butters. Their timing was spot on!
It’s true that daughter Heather and I have to stay away from PB. Roasted almond butter from our organic food co-op is PB’s delicious understudy at our house. It’s a great alternative for folks who have an allergy or intolerance to that Great American Food.
Even with my intolerance to PB, I had to try this comfort food. In no time, I’d screwed off the lid, removed the safety seal—and oh, the aroma released into the kitchen! I grabbed a spoon to stir the oils back into the peanut butter, then took a bite. I remember you, I thought, but you were never this good. THIS is what peanut butter should taste like! Each bite is chock full of peanuts. And why not? Field Day puts nothing into their PB that gets in the way of great taste. Just two ingredients—organic peanuts and sea salt. No sugars, no distractions.
I’ve sung the praises of other Field Day products—their buttery round crackers, and their pastas. As far as I know, PB is a new arena for them And I couldn’t be happier for all the folks looking for healthy, safe foods to feed their families. Field Day’s on a roll now—let’s hope they plan to add even more choices to their already-impressive catalog of foods.
As for me, I’m loyal to a brand whose food is both delicious and healthy; affordable; and wears the USDA organic seal. Field Day goes beyond—their products also wear the Non-GMO Project Verified label. AND their PB jars are BPA-free jars. I don’t know too many companies that build in all those “safe food” features!
If I’m ever able to eat PB again (not on the sly, like a couple days ago), know that Field Day’s PB is the one I’ll buy. Good eats!
