Some light blue thing. And I think we had welch's (sp?) grape jelly. Clearly I am not a pb&amp;j snob. :P I like those smuckers things where you don't need to make it and you just get it out of the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif/page/2#post-2417876 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:09:48 +0000 CRGmama 2417876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skippy creamy natural. With seedless strawberry preserves on whole wheat bread! Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif/page/2#post-2417816 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 21:06:45 +0000 catomd00 2417816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Justin's PB with grape jelly. Crust stays on for DD and cut diagonally! (It tastes so much better that way!) DH always toasts it I never did that before I met him and am usually too lazy to, but it's definitely yummy toasted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif/page/2#post-2417810 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 21:01:32 +0000 pinkcupcake 2417810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Jif with honey! Or skippy too - the all natural one, creamy. On white bread, crust left on, with grape jelly :) Mmm!</p> <p>Now I want a PBJ....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417756 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 20:31:12 +0000 lady baltimore 2417756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our absolute favorite is freshly ground honey roasted PB from a local store - worlds better than jarred stuff! It's pricey though, so we eat Skippy natural, too. DH goes through jam at an alarming rate, so I get him Smucker's natural, or whatever else is on sale. I eat Bonne Maman (fig is my favorite!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417754 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 20:29:42 +0000 autumnleaves 2417754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Jif - DH is stuck on that brand. I was more of a Peter Pan fan but I like Simply Jif for myself now. LO hasn't had a PBJ at 16 months but he likes a small spoon of Jif in his oatmeal for breakfast sometimes. Looking forward to the PBJ days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417712 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 20:05:13 +0000 brownepiano 2417712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't like pbj yet! :sad: I've only gotten him to eat it twice. But I but store brand, never natural. I love the chocolate versions, and I got a maple peanutbutter once that was amazing! We give DS bread and homemade apple butter instead. If I ever buy jelly, it is strawberry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417598 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:55:21 +0000 Pancakes 2417598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skippy natural creamy PB with Bonne Maman strawberry jam or the Trader Joe's strawberry jam. DH prefers grape. I prefer untoasted with crusts on wheat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417542 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:16:31 +0000 JerricaBenton 2417542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly fresh ground pb or almond butter from a local store, but I do get that craving for the stuff of my childhood and get jif natural every now and then! LO likes pb &amp; j or pb &amp; banana on sandwich buns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417463 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:44:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2417463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smuckers creamy natural pb. I usually use Polomers all fruit in strawberry and we usually eat on some kind of whole wheat oatnut type bread. Crust stays on for my oldest but I remove it for my youngest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417418 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:24:27 +0000 jetsa 2417418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not picky on the brand of peanut butter just no HFCs and no sugar. :) plain on whole grain white bread with crusts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417396 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:09:53 +0000 pregnantbee 2417396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunflower butter, since school is a peanut-free zone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417311 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:24:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 2417311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove JIF creamy but have been eating Teddy's lately since they don't add sugar... Although, i'm usually adding some Fluff so it's a moot justification, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417310 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:24:09 +0000 fancyfunction 2417310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toasted bread, Skippy natural creamy and natural grape or strawberry jam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417308 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:23:33 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2417308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically buy Laura Scudders natural PB, but sometimes switch it up as long as the only ingredient is peanuts. LO loves PB on wheat bread or waffles, but won't touch it if it has jelly or honey. Sometimes she will eat PB on wheat toast with bananas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417306 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:21:30 +0000 KT326 2417306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Open Nature peanut butter and a locally made jam that has no added sugar. DS loves the Dave's Killer Bread (Good Seed only) and it's the only bread where he will actually eat the crust! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417292 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:17:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 2417292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the store brand PB. No jelly - she doesn't need the extra sugar and loves a regular PB sandwich just like I did as a kid! No crusts cut off. No toasting. Cut in triangles obviously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417277 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:11:13 +0000 jhd 2417277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like natural Jif. Right now we have the creamy natural with honey. LO occasionally has PB on a slice of wheat toast or a whole grain waffle. He likes it but doesn't seem to love it like his parents! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417275 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:11:01 +0000 mauxie 2417275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skippy or JIF (natural). Sometimes I cut the crusts, sometimes I don't. If they request it off, I usually oblige. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417273 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:09:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2417273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target's Market Pantry no-stir peanut butter is actually really good and cheap! I had a preggo mama moment last week and bought Honey Roasted Nut Skippy as a treat. Jiff Natural is good too.</p> <p>Right now, DS is 16 months and not really great about chewing his food carefully before swallowing, so we do crustless PBJ bites on whatever bread we have. Mama is actually the one who prefers spongy white bread for PBJs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417269 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:08:15 +0000 sapphire 2417269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're an Adam's family.<br /> I don't want anything in my PB except nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417267 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:06:52 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2417267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only use a spoon for jams and jellies here! I can't remember why though 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417250 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:59:37 +0000 travellingbee 2417250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Jif or Skippy natural brands, HEB brand crustless wheat bread and strawberry jelly. DS absolutely LOVES PB and J! He likes them cut in squares. (I do too!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417230 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:50:51 +0000 dagret 2417230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>skippy or jif peanut butter, homemade jelly, bread with the crusts cut off (dh started that...), unless it's my own bread then the crusts can stay on. </p> <p>TBH the only thing I'm particular about (other than name brand PB) is I am very careful to not dip the pb knife into the jelly jar b/c daycare is peanut free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417227 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:49:48 +0000 PurplePeony 2417227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the grind-your-own PB from Whole Foods. It's a bit pricey but the taste is totally different from the jarred kinds, even the natural ones. It's 100% peanuts and because we only get as much as we'll eat within a few weeks, we never have to deal with the oil separating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417220 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:47:32 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2417220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy our stores brand of peanut butter-- and we typically do homemade jam (it's my favorite thing to make in the summer and a lot of my friends/relatives make it to so we always have a supply. If we're out I buy smuckers strawberry) </p> <p>Cut diagonally on white bread-- I typically buy whatever soft bread 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417215 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:43:45 +0000 Mamaof2 2417215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I hate natural peanut butter too but this Jif one is awesome - its creamy and the oil doesn't separate at all!!</p> <p>Its not 100% peanuts - its 90% and has a little sugar (3g per serving) </p> [attach=4342/16/o0t04x.600x450.IMG_4006.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417206 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:39:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 2417206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love skippy!

Always off the spoon. I've adopted that technique for Nutella, too...which is starting to become a problem. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosy-moms-choose-jif#post-2417195 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:34:55 +0000 MoonMoon 2417195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get different brands as long as the only ingredients are peanuts and salt. We switch up between creamy and chunky. LO gets pb and banana or strawberry slices. He's becoming a little picky, so I sometimes do cut off his crusts, though I promised myself I'd never do that! Lol. </p>
