If it’s not good for you…
I’ve written before about my deep, deep love of peanut butter sandwiches. In today’s world, many schools have been declared nut-free in order to prevent any serious repurcussion. More and more children in America suffer from a nut allergy, and this type of allergy is the cause of more deaths than any other allergen. We know, thanks to the (Ashkenazic) Pesach prohibitions, that a peanut is a legume and not a nut but apparently they can have a similar effect on an unsuspecting victim.
Poppyseed, as a result, has never really developed a taste for PB and I am running out of lunch ideas after YEARS of nut-free lunch-making. So I took the suggestion of another mom and bought some soynut butter.
Good thing I thought to try it first or else I might have actually given her the vile stuff for lunch!
For alternatives…

Try a product called Sunbutter. It’s sunflower seed butter and full of yummy delicious fat. It’s yummy.
For me, it was a totally new concept: a savory hamantash!

Consider a pizza-type dough rather than a sweet one,
and filling of cheeses, spinach, mushrooms, onions, and spices.
Yum!
