When I was at the grocery store the other day, I saw something truly wonderful. There are few things in life as great as a sale on Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter. Actually, I think I really showed a great deal of restraint by only purchasing two jars (considering I had peanut butter at home already). I bought one jar of White Chocolate Wonderful and one of Mighty Maple. And have been blissfully devouring them all week.
I can eat peanut butter on pretty much anything. It's probably my favorite food, and I'm always stretching its versatility to the limits. Granted, I bought two sweet flavors at the store, so most of my peanut butter consumption this week has steered clear of the savory variety, but not entirely.
Of course, my favorite accompanyment for peanut butter is fruit, whether it's slathered on apple slices, mixed with a mashed banana, or incorporated into one of my morning protein shakes.
I also took the opportunity to step up the game on my Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding by using White Chocolate Wonderful in place of plain, creamy peanut butter. Oh yes, what a delicious improvement! This stuff is great for dessert, of course, but also served as a delicious breakfast this week - full of protein and fiber, it does a great job of keeping you full until lunch time! 
And while of course peanut butter and grain seems normal enough when bread is involved - there's always peanut butter toast and PB&J sandwiches - not everyone thinks of peanut butter popcorn. But this sweet and salty snack is super easy to make, and makes a surprisingly filling movie snack!
Just prepare popcorn, nuke enough peanut butter for desired coverage (I used three tablespoons of Mighty Maple), drizzle PB over popcorn, and stir to coat thoroughly. Then be sure not to tell anyone you made it so you can enjoy the whole bowl yourself!
