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?”

Works For Me WednesdayIn 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.

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!

    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.

    I love cream cheese, but I hadn’t thought of substituting it for peanut butter. Great idea!

    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.

    That is a very tasty idea instead of pb. I love me some pb toast, but this would be a nice treat too.

    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!)

    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. 🙂

    Yes, it’s yummy. I have tried it before, but I think it’s definitely a WFMW tip that will enlighten someone out there. . . .
