Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Good Morning. This past month have been trying Laura Scudder's Old Fashioned Peanut Butter it tastes good and works for me. The ingrediants are ground peanuts and salt, that's it. I can have some on a toasted piece of Ezekels bread and be done with it. I've also been freezing the Ezekels bread and toasting it when needed (keeps it from going bad). Has anyone else tried this or what peanut butter brand(s) have you had good luck with? Just wondering.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 15, 2006 I've been using that brand too. When I lived in NE, I used Teddie natural peanut butter, which I loved.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Hi Bob - I make my own from roasted unsalted peanuts. Just throw them in the Cuisinart. Or sometimes, if shopping at Whole Foods, I use their grinder. I do the same with cashews, and almonds. Tried pecans; that didn't work so well.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Gail, I admire the fact that you can make so many things, so well, bet your a really good chef. When you blend/grind your own, do you get the oil layer which is on the top of most of the Natural Brands, just wondering? Do you also need to store it in the fridge?

Guest guest Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Hi Bob - Thanks for the complement. Many years ago, I was the housemother in a vegetarian communal house cooked for 14 people, so I have lots of experience! In making peanut butter from peanuts, the oil rises to the top. I usually make small batches. If I don't plan to use within a day or two I store in refrigerator.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 > Has anyone else tried this or what peanut butter brand(s) have you had good luck with? Smart Balance now makes a peanut butter, and it's delicious! Its non hydrogenated, and doesn't separate. How great is that? It does have molasses as the last ingredient, FYI for those further along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Hi, The brand of peanut butter I use is "MaraNatha" WFM has it or other brands that are made only of peanuts. Almond butter is also a tasty high protein spread. Trader Joe's has both peanut and almond butter. For those who live away from natural foods stores you can buy a lot of natural food products online. Some natural food stores make their own nut butters. Does anyone find that they are adding animal products in their diet, to have variety and remain balanced? ~Deanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 I'm a fan of Smucker's Natural myself. The ingredients are peanuts and salt. Every once in a while I get a jar that is really salty for some reason. Generally, its pretty good.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 That's so funny, I made almond butter for the first time at home yesterday and I just kept shaking my head, saying, " Why haven't I done this before??? " So much more inexpensive and easy easy easy! I want to do peanuts next. Yum!!!!

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 As you thought Molasses = not so good for folks further along with the steps. What we've been looking at are making the peanut butter @ home or buying the Laura Scudder's Natural from the market.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Deanna, MaraNatha Peanut Butter, I'll check it out at WFM. Animal Products: If you need to add animal products to your diet to stay on this RR food program, that's what you need to do for your body, it's ok. Just about 2 months a year I do the vegan route. Sometimes I find it difficult to fully support my protein requirements doing the vegan route. After about a month or so, just want more variety, so I go back to dairy. So a solution for me is to try to eat vegan at least 2 meals per day, that's what works best for me now. A good portion of this program is about " listening to your body " while following the steps. Another rule (for me) is that if something ever tastes too good or can't stop thinking about it " starts to call me " , then there is something wrong with that food. For example: I had a butternut squash soup in a restaurant (made the waiter swear it had no sugar). Then after I had my 1st bowl, wanted another one, right no sugar = no way!!! Doing what you need to do to support the steps of this program is what truly works.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Speaking of peanut butter, I got a chuckle the other day when I noticed the allergy label on a jar of peanut butter: " contains peanuts. " Well, duh! LOL. On the other hand, in this day and age of " fruit juice " that contains no fruit, you never know. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - Sparrow R Jones Saturday, April 05, 2008 9:49 PM Re: Cumin Rice with Eggplant and peas On 4/5/08, Nancy King <nancy wrote: > > Ha! Good idea! I learned it from my mom. I *always* knew where the peanut butter was as a kid because I was so very much not fond of lima beans or the way mom cooked broccoli (I love both now that *I'm* cooking them. LOL) and since I grew up in a veggie household, if we had lima beans and broccoli for dinner, that was half the food or more I was refusing to eat. Without that peanut butter sandwich, I would have gone to bed pretty hungry. heh. Sparrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2008 I've been craving something a little different and decided to try something new. Its not fat free and probably not even very low, but it is much lower than the original. In a Vitamix, 1/2 lb raw peanuts large can of chickpeas 3 tbl ground flax 1/2 tsp sea salt 1-2 cups water, you choose your favorite texture. this took about 30 seconds and the results were awesome! My dogs and I ate at least a cup of it already on crackers. The rest is going in the fridge and to friends for snacks. this is perfect for dipping fruit too.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Hi Jill, I was curious, and I had my recipe program open, so I ran the nutrition for your recipe. This is for the whole batch, since I don't know how many servings it makes. Maybe next time you make if you could measure how many tablespoons it makes, I could give you an exact per-tablespoon analysis. Here's the info on the whole recipe: If for some reason the image doesn't show up, let me know and I'll type in the data.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2008 That's got so much fat (and salt) that you would almost have been better off to just buy a small jar of real peanut butter, eat a teaspoon of it (to get rid of the craving), and throw the rest out!

Those who read on-line or get the digest don't see any of the graphics. Even without seeing the itemized list, people should realize that peanut butter is almost *all* fat. Even on the Richard Simmons Foodmover, based on the American Diabetic Association exchange plan, he always counted it as a fat exchange, not protein. ALL nuts and nut butters, not just peanut.

I'll paste the relevant data below for those people. > Even without seeing the itemized list, people should realize that > peanut > butter is almost *all* fat. Yes, but this isn't a recipe for true peanut butter; it's a recipe that uses chickpeas to replace part of the peanuts, so it isn't all fat. Still high in fat, of course, but not 100% calories from fat. Here's the breakdown, revised a little because I forgot the flax seeds in the last attempt: Calories: 1904 Fat: 126 Calories from Fat: 56 Carbohydrates: 139 Fiber: 44 Protein: 83 Sodium: 2385 Again, that's for the entire recipe. If we assume that this makes about 3 1/2 cups or 56 tablespoons (which is just a guess on my part), each tablespoon would contain 34 calories, 2.25 grams of fat, and 43 grams of sodium--still high in percentage of calories from fat, but much lower than straight peanut butter. Also, Jill says a large can of chickpeas, but I computed this using a standard 15-ounce size. If it should be larger, let me know and I'll figure it again.
