An open letter to peanut butter, in honor of National Peanut Butter Lovers’ Day, March 1…
Dear Peanut Butter (is it OK if I call you PB?),
I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell you how much I love you. Seriously, we’ve known each other forever and I don’t think I’ve ever properly thanked you for being you.
Ever since I was a little curly-haired girl, you’ve been there for me, PB. For breakfast, lunch and dinner. In my Strawberry Shortcake lunch box, at snack time on Ritz crackers and late at night by the spoonful. You’re my favorite part of Reese’s, the perfect cookie flavor and you even make celery worth eating.
You’ve stuck with me through the years, growing up from Strawberry Shortcake to brown bags to insulated little coolers. You’ve never complained that it’s typically only when I’m too busy to put together a decent (sorry) meal, that I reach for you and your buddy, Grape Jelly. Never fail, you’re always there for me in a pinch, and I really do appreciate that.
PB, I’ve known you longer than even any of my closest friends. We’ve stuck together through the creamy and crunchy times (did I ever thanked you for helping me get that gum out of my hair?), and I just want you to know that no matter how many healthy, boring, “diet” turkey sandwiches I have for lunch, just know I’d rather be with you.
Happy Peanut Butter Lovers’ Day!
Your buddy,
Dorian Wagner
PS. Peanut Butter has been getting a bad rap in the press lately, so eDiets Director of Nutrition Services Pam Ofstein recorded this video to explain a little more about peanut butter safety.
