Happy NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER MONTH!

We’re nothing if not a smidge October 2008 here in Austin, Texas (read: this morning is our Race for the Cure) but up in MizFit? We’re all about the November.

No matter your age please to make time to enjoy some Peanut Butter Playdough this month!

Create. Craft. And then indulge in a sweettreat laden with good fats.

DIZCLAIMER: Im totally married to an attorney who forced me to add this and I love him/being married so I happily complied. Should you enjoy the ‘dough as we did here be sure you/any of the other playingparticipants do not have a nut allergy. thank you.

  1. PB – the natural stuff – is like a staple for me! I think I could live on it… Making playdough with it…hmmm….play with it, and then get to eat it too – sounds like a winner to me!

  4. I just googled Arachibutyrophobia – is that a joke? I mean, just don’t eat peanut butter. Mizfit, good luck with the Race for the Cure. Great cause!

  5. I DO ANDREW!!

    and Im thumbtyping on my handheld so I cant look it up 🙂

    my mom?

    loathes the peanut butter and we always laughed that arachibutyrophobia was why!!

    anyone else IMMEDIATELY know?

    M.

  6. what is it called when you LIKE when PB stucks to the roof of your mouth??

    have a good run, Miz!

  8. Oh we are BIG PB fans! My son could live on PB & J sandwiches. Oh who am I kidding, he does!! 🙂 Thanks for the support on the Halloween candy Miz! 🙂

    So can I ask if anyone will be making the PB play dough with PB2? What do people use that for?

  9. We ate a teeny piece of peanut-butter chocolate cheesecake to celebrate our 5th but it wasn’t made out of peanutbutter playdough. We love peanut butter!
    Talked to a woman yesterday who’s daughter is allergic. Mom ate peanuts, kissed daughter on cheek. Daughter’s cheek swelled up like a bee sting. She carries an epi pen. This allergy is no joke. I even heard that Jimmy Carter had a peanut allergy. (that may not be true).

    I hope you find a cure along the race. We could sure use one up in heerre (as you might say). Have fun!

  10. I don’t know how it started but my daughter loves learning what all the phobias are (and pronouncing them) so we have been hearing about arachibutyrophobia for a few years now!
    Good thing I didn’t have that recipe when my kids were younger or I might have been eating their playdough. I love peanut butter and the reason I don’t make cookies as often as everyone would like, I eat too much of the dough!!

  11. oh Natalia.

    Dear sweet Natalia.

    I’m off—all in pink—to raceforcure but later JUST FOR YOU an ode to PB2.

    (And there’s a video already on site CLICK HERE )

    M.

  12. PB rocks. I’m talking the PB that’s straight up peanuts and salt. Best sandwich ever: PB and alfalfa sprouts. Trust me, it’s awesome.

  14. I, too, am now a believer in PB in my oatmeal. Unfortunately PB consumes lots of WW points. DANG! I just go easy and still get to enjoy.

    Anyone else feeling wonky already with the time change?

    Am working on a plan to get to Chicago next weekend – yo, miz – Sunday brunch, please!

  16. National Peanut Butter month?!

    Well, shtick ma tongue to the woof of ma mawth! Way cool!

    (Note to self *hunt up peanut butter recipes to post on blog….*)

  17. If you avoid peanut butter because of the points, try Better n’ Peanut Butter.. . it doesn’t come in crunchy, but the smooth is pretty good and it’s half the calories, half the fat, and half points! 2 T = 2 PTs

    Hubby just shared with me an old joke. It’s funnier with the visuals of the hand effects, (and tastier if you actually demonstrate. . . but we won’t go there!) but I think you can invision it.

    There are 3 ways to get peanut butter off the roof of your mouth:

    You can blow it off. But that doesn’t work.
    You can spit it out. But that doesn’t work.
    Or you can scrape it out with your finger.

    Now, there are 3 ways to get peanut off your finger.

    You can blow it off. But that doesn’t work.
    You can shake it off. But that doesn’t work.
    Or you can lick it off.

    Now, there are 3 ways to get peanut butter off the roof of your mouth. . . .

  22. I JUST finished eating my morning 2 tbsp of peanut butter when I came across this post… I always thought that November was one of the most frustrating months of the year because its cold and all, but it has now become one of my favourites!

    Love peanut butter. Love love.

    And that playdough looks amazingly delicious!

  23. Love the PB. We get the stuff that’s ground from peanuts right before our eyes. Excellent on toast with a bowl of oatmeal or with a few raisins on the side as a very early morning blood sugar bump. The birds get the commercial PB in their cage feeder. The woodpeckers will get right into this PB month business.

  24. race for the cure (in our case: walk as a trio fer the cure) complete.

    It’s playdough time up in herre.

    Miz.

  25. I’m all excited now about the peanut butter playdough for the kids. I’m going in the kitchen right now and make it. Too cool. Thanks for the great idea.

  26. uh oh Dawn.

    Was that a gauntlet you threw down?

    Is it ON?

    The Great Month O’Peanut Butter Competition to see who can make the best playdough creation?

    Please to email me yer photos.

    M.

  30. Well darn I didn’t see your challenge in time, the kids creations are pretty much all eaten already lol. Son does have two in the fridge that he plans on carting to school to show his buddies tomorrow but the rest are in their bellies lol. The said it was so great that they wanted to do it every weekend. They were using their halloween candies as decorations too. I didn’t use PB2 so I only tasted a pinch of it but pretty darn tasty I must say. Thanks for the great idea we had a blast. Even the 16 yr old got into it lol.

  32. dawn? You got all month.

    I’m
    Just
    Sayin’

    (Fig? I’ll be over when I’m at the ‘puter. Thanks!)

    Miz.

  34. Yipipe!! Bring on the Reeces!! *grin* Thats about the only way I like peanut butter other than in thai food lol.

    Have a great rest of the weekend!!

    *huggles*
    =0)

  35. it is POURING down rain here.
    what do I win if I make YOU out of peanut butter playdough?

    might be hard especially since Im sure to eat more than half!

  42. i’m sending this recipe to my mom for her preschool class…altho a bunch of them have assorted nut allergies so maybe that’s a bad idea. Kids these days! So difficult.

  44. weighting game? Tell yer mama to wait until December.

    It’s National Sunflower Seed Butter month.

    (rimshot?)

    Miz., who is actually going to try the recipe with a different nut butter as her nephew is peanut allergic. I’ll let you know if it works….

  46. We have some allergies and I can report that it works with cashew butter and almond butter, although almond is a different texture…it’s all yummy!

  48. natalia, natalia
    get thou PB2
    its powdery goodness?
    SO DANG GOOD FOR YOU!

    sure it’s just peanuts
    all dried up and jarred.
    but the ease of its TRANSPORT?
    it’s shocking! GOOD LAWRD!

    I use it at home
    in baking and such
    (if youd ask the Ren Man
    He’d say it’s too much!)

    I sprinkle in batter
    when pancakes I make.
    I sprinkle a’top
    my smoothies & shake.

    It’s BEST when I travel
    I clearly must say.
    I bring it for oatmeal
    I get protein that way!

    I mix it with water
    in my hotel room.
    cram it in my piehole
    lifts the TOO CARBED gloom.

    ok I have rambled
    my thumbs they are tired.
    I type from my handheld.
    Im Miz SUPER WIRED.

  50. Love it!! 🙂 I’m gonna order the PB2 they have some good recipes on their site too! Have you tried the Chocolate PB2?

  53. Fabulous food to dedicate a month to!! Although I’m partial to hazelnut-butter, pumpkin-seed-butter, sunflower-seed-butter, and almond-butter 😉

  54. I will eat ANY sort of peanut butter.

    Except Skippy. Or Crunchy of any sort. Ever.

    This playdough recipe reminds me of the PB they served in grade school. The PB was mixed with honey and spread on good ol’ Wonder Bread. They served it with vegetable soup on Wednesdays. I suffered through many a bowl of veggie soup for those sandwiches. 🙂

    Here’s a link folks might not have:

    PBB is a serious PB fan. I love him a little bit.

    (sekeret message for Miz: I think my fax machine must have eaten the list. Yeah, that’s it. Another weekend, perhaps.)
    🙂

  55. MizFit!

    I’m am not worthy! Thanks for checking out my blog and I am so jacked about meeting you, too!! We will break oats together, talk about our love of “more cowbell” and have more fun than bloggers should have in one place! Huh? Well you know what I mean. Keep up all of your great work and I will see you in less than a week!! Oh yeah…peanut butter rules…I will have to check out the playdough!

  57. National Peanut Butter Month, my birthday, AND Thanksgiving? What a wonderful world we live in!!!

    I so didn’t know you were participating in the Race for the Cure. How very cool (and to walk with your fam-gotta love that… this year I “ran” with the Hubs and my sister, and it was a blast!).

    About the playdough, I don’t know if I even dare try it. Back in college my roommates and I made a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough, and didn’t bake a single cookie, if you know what I mean (that makes 6-7 dozen balls of dough that were in our tummies, mmmmm).

  59. I’m not allergic. I just don’t like peanut butter. I find it amusing that there’s a whole month devoted to it…I wonder if it’s falling out of style form all the allergies. I hope that cheese gets a month sometime too, or I call shenanigans. Altho not the same month. Cheese and peanut butter do not go together.
    *ahem* amyways…

    The playdough is brilliant. Kids are going to eat playdough anyways…better this than a bunch of salt 🙂

    I wonder if it would work with some other nut butter so I could eat…I mean play with it too? hmm…

  60. Geosomin?

    yep.

    totally works!

  1. […] MizFit informs me that November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month. Go on, celebrate! Treat yourself to some of those peanut buttery good fats. I recommend a good ol’ fashioned PB and Sprout Sandwich on whole grain bread. That’s a complete protein right there, and a serving of vegetables to boot! […]
