Works For Me Wednesday
A Peanut Butter Substitute
|
|
Susan says this isn’t much of a Works for Me Wednesday… But I think it is. So here it goes. The other day I saw an ad for Philadelphia Cream Cheese featuring a new cream cheese with a swirl of jam in it. I chuckled because Jackson came up with this combination for his toast when he was three and it is still one of his favorites. When he first suggested it, I thought it was kind of strange. But then I thought, “Well I put raspberry sauce on my cheesecake – so why not?”
I eat it too – it is sweet and yummy on warm toast. Sorry if it was not the most original idea – but it works for us! For more great “Works for me Wednesday” tips, visit |
In these days of peanut free lunches, I think this is great alternative to the old peanut butter and jam sandwiches. It has some protein and substance and yet is quick and inexpensive.|

Yes, it’s yummy. I have tried it before, but I think it’s definitely a WFMW tip that will enlighten someone out there. . . .
Amy @ 4:19 am
We love this stuff – peanut allergies in my dd necessitated some creativity here too.
Laurie @ 4:31 am
That would be yummy on a bagel as well. I love cream cheese!
Joy @ 4:57 am
Yum! That looks SO good!
Maria @ 4:59 am
That does sound good. We too have to be creative with peanut butter around here.
Amy @ 5:01 am
MMM…yummy! My stomach just growled!
Shannon @ 5:42 am
We love this too. I usually just take a scoop of jam and cream it into the cream cheese with beaters. It’s great on bagels too.
Carmen @ 5:42 am
Yum! I’d eat anything with cream cheese on it–especially sweet and fruity!
Lolly @ 5:50 am
I love this stuff too but hadn’t thought of sending it in place of peanut butter – great idea! (It’s great in cinnamon rolls too – replacing cinnamon and sugar!)
Lori @ 5:54 am
I love this idea!! It is a great alternative to the usual PB&J.
Sue @ 6:17 am
I also make this myself for my grandsons using the low fat crm cheese and 100% fruit jam. Yummy! My WFMW is up…
Tiff @ 7:26 am
Great tip!
Check mine out at http://www.garrettscorner.blogspot.com
Sounds Yummy!
Minnie @ 7:36 am
YUM! I’m going to try that for myself!!
Mine is up, too…
Sandra @ 8:07 am
Oh that is such a great idea, I’m going to try it today LOL
Actually, I’m going to try it right now LOL……
Mine is up too
Tess @ 8:10 am
That is a very tasty idea instead of pb. I love me some pb toast, but this would be a nice treat too.
Gabriela @ 8:22 am
This is all my son will eat. Day in, day out! Great tip!

Cream cheese ‘n’ jelly has always been a favorite of mine. My youngest son will make these for a snack. Frankly, I bet it’s cheaper and better to do it with separate cream cheese and jelly than to buy the ready mixed stuff.
Brenda @ 4:15 pm
I love cream cheese, but I hadn’t thought of substituting it for peanut butter. Great idea!
Michelle- This One's For the Girls @ 6:05 pm
Tell Susan we all think it’s a great idea! Yum! Can’t wait to try it!
Jenn @ 8:06 pm
I LOVE mixing jam/preserves with cream cheese…Well, anything goes with cream cheese in my book
peach @ 6:47 pm
I’ve been doing this for years, too. Love it — especially with seedless blackberry jam . . . YUMMY!!! It’s a great idea, not to be pooh-poohed!!

I started making cream cheese and jelly sandwiches for my son when he was 12 months old. I needed the ease of a PB&J, but am trying to avoid peanut butter with him until he’s a little older. It’s a GREAT solution and he LOVES IT! Definitaly a good WFMW.
