January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day! What I love about peanut butter is its ability to comfortably exist in both the realm of the low brow American lunch (simple PB & J) to more haute “ethnic” cuisine. I could live on PB & Banana Sandwiches (as is, or grilled in Earth Balance and fit for The King). Peanut Butter blended in warm soy or rice milk is a nice alternative to hot cocoa. My friend Ethan turned me on to the joys of Peanut Butter & Company’s dark chocolate peanut butter schmeared over Newman-Os.

Here’s a list of some sweet and savory peanut butter recipes.

• Easy Peanut Butter Fudge
• Peanut Butter Cups
• Peanut Butter Banana Cocoa Cookies
• Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
• Cardamom Peanut Butter Ice Cream Brownie Sundae with Chili-Spiked Chocolate Sauce
• African Peanut Potato Stew
• Aromatic Noodles with Lime Peanut Sauce
• Savory Garlic Ginger Chickpea Fritters with Thai Peanut Sauce

What’s your favorite way to eat peanut butter?

   Peanut butter balls! I made those for my documentary premiere and due to demands upon my life posted the recipe here:

   The Peanut butter cups (above) looks awesome though. I like the cup idea as my recipe makes more blobs than balls. That sundae looks crazy good as well…something to impress chef friends with, just by the title.
