Fact: Peanut butter makes everything better. That is not a theory that is a fact. That is at least a fact in this house. When my kids start to turn their noses up at food I do one of the following: slather it with peanut butter, drizzle it with honey or dash a few sprinkles across it. Don't underestimate the power of these three super ingredients. They kinda make me a rock star to my kids in the kitchen. Take delicious moist banana bread and add peanut butter then top with a peanut butter glaze and you have just made life better. Your kids gobble down one slice and ask for another. Supermom one and kids zero.
