soy butter

I am sooooooooo excited about this. Av has recently learned how wonderful PB&J sandwiches are. She is still a picky eater and will only eat about 10 different main course items so when I find a new one to add to the list it makes me very happy. I was making them out of all natural PB, all natural simply fruit jelly and whole wheat bread. So they are as healthy as possible. The problem became when she started back to school. Her school is not only a nut free school but I can’t even send things in her lunch that are manufactured in a facility that uses nuts for other products. Everything I send in her lunch and snacks has to be made in a facility whose equipment has never even had nuts on it. I have to read labels very carefully before I buy her school food. Her school is very diverse and very accepting of differences and wants to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. That is why we picked it. So you take the good with the bad and just find her other foods to send for her. It really is a good thing because it means she eats more fruits and veggies and less processed food. A good old PB&J though is just so easy so I was missing it. Until I found soy butter. I bought a jar to try and it pretty much tastes like PB. I mean you can tell the difference, biggest difference is the texture but when I put it on bread and mixed it with jelly Av ate it up!! Another huge benefit to it is that Camille can eat it!!! We still call it a PB&J and they both eat it up. Talk about a win-win. I was very excited. It’s amazing the little things that will make a mom happy.
