While I love all sorts of foods, peanut butter has always remained at the top of my list.

Not only is it so darn delicious for both sweet and savory applications, it is also relatively inexpensive and filling (with 4 grams of protein per tablespoon).

And while there is nothing wrong with enjoying your PB in simple ways such as spread on a piece of toast, as a dip for apples or bananas, in a PB and J or straight off the spoon (arguably my favorite...), if you're looking for some more options to enjoy it, I hope to give you some inspiration with this list!
