Peanut Butter & Crackers

How do you Peanut Butter & Crackers?  I remember my Grandpa eating Peanut Butter & Honey on crackers.  My Mom eats her crackers like Grandpa does with Peanut Butter & Honey.  Now every once in a while I’ll eat Peanut Butter & Crackers, but my son well he eats Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner.

Now I’m not talking about every once in a while eating Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner.  I’m talking about eating Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner every night.  You have to understand something though, my son is what you call an extremely picky eater.  My husband & I figured he would get tired of eating Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner every night, but he’s now 13 years old & is still eating Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner every night.  He likes his Peanut Butter & Crackers made like this:  Saltine Cracker on bottom, Peanut Butter then another Cracker on top.  So he eats 5 Peanut Butter & Crackers Sandwiches every night for dinner.

Of course now that he’s older his appetite is growing, so on top of eating his Peanut Butter & Crackers Sandwiches, he also wants other things to eat.  We are figure now that he is in his teenage years he will start eating other things, but I guess there are worse things to eat than to eat Peanut Butter & Crackers for dinner every night.

Of course I’m not worried about him not eating meat, cause Peanut Butter is a great source of protein.  I do buy the Natural Peanut also, so that helps even more.

Eating just Peanut Butter & Crackers has NOT stunted his growth.  At the beginning of Jan 2014 he was shorter than me.  At the time I’m writing this Blog its March 2014 & he has already passed me in height.   

So my words of advice for today are.  If your child doesn’t want to eat anything more than Peanut Butter & Crackers don’t worry about it.   They might sooner or later grow out of it, but if not Peanut Butter & Crackers are better than eating junk food/sweets every night.
