40 fabulous recipes with peanut butter Recipe

by Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)

As my husband Ted and I prepare for the move back to Boston (and much smaller pantry space), I've been cleaning out and using up some ingredients that have been languishing. I'm embarrassed to tell you I found three jars of peanut butter on the shelf, which is weird, considering that I'm not a huge peanut butter fan. I do love PB in sauces (especially spicy Asian-inspired ones), but there's so much more you can do with it. And if you bake, you can probably give me a hundred ideas of how to use some of what I've got on hand. These 40 recipes that feature peanut butter really inspire me.
