Natural Peanut Butter...

Posted in The Pantry

 

When we went shopping at the commisary a couple of days ago,

I came across a different kind of natural peanut butter.

Usually, when I buy natural peanut butter, it doesn't get eaten much.

Sad, but true. But the children do not usually like the taste and thickness.

Plus it usually needs to be kept in the fridge

and cold peanut butter just isn't appetizing to them.

Plus, I noticed the price increase for natural peanut butter.

 

So I was thrilled when I came across this:

 

Even more thrilled when I opened it today to make sandwiches

and discovered that I didn't need to stir it because there was no oil settled on top.

And it really was very creamy and good!

 

So... I was comparing the ingredients to this natural peanut butter I came across

and the old Jif Reduced Fat that I was using...

 

Jif Reduced Fat                                                 Skippy Natural

peanuts                                                              roasted peanuts

corn syrup solids                                               sugar

sugar and soy protien                                       palm oil

fully hydrogenated vegetable oils                       salt

salt

mono- and digycerides

molasses

niacinamide

folic acid

pyridoxine hydrochoride

magnesium oxide

zinc oxide

ferric orthophospate

copper sulfate

 

 

Hmmm.... interesting.

In addition, the Skippy Natural was the same price as the regular peanut butter.

 

But more so, I appreciate the natural (and minimal) ingredients

AND the children loved it!

 

I may not eat completely healthy, all the time, but I sure like to as much as I can.

Looks like we have a new peanut butter.

Crazy for Containers?

Posted in The Pantry

 

Yesterday, the children and I went to one of our local grocery stores

to pick up some of the groceries we needed.

 

I saw these Dixie Crystal sprinkle containers on the shelf.

They were marked down to a closeout price of $.40.

So I grabbed some to stock in my cabinets.

And when they're empty, they can be reused for storing something else.

Not a bad deal...

Titus 2:3-5

3 "The aged women likewise,
that they be in behaviour
as becometh holiness,
not false accusers,
not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
 4 That they may teach
the young women
to be sober,
to love their husbands,
to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home,
good, obedient
to their own husbands,
that the word of God
be not blasphemed."


Proverbs 31:10-31

10 "Who can find
a virtuous woman?
for her price is
far above rubies.
 11 The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have
no need of spoil.
 12 She will do him good
and not evil
all the days of her life.
 13 She seeketh wool,
and flax,
and worketh willingly
with her hands.
 14 She is like
the merchants' ships;
she bringeth her food
from afar.
 15 She riseth also
while it is yet night,
and giveth meat
to her household,
and a portion
to her maidens.
 16 She considereth a field,
and buyeth it:
with the fruit of her hands
she planteth a vineyard.
 17 She girdeth her loins
with strength,
and strengtheneth her arms.
 18 She perceiveth that
her merchandise is good:
her candle goeth not
out by night.
 19 She layeth her hands
to the spindle,
and her hands
hold the distaff.
 20 She stretcheth out
her hand to the poor;
yea, she reacheth forth
her hands to the needy.
 21 She is not afraid of
the snow for her household:
for all her household
are clothed with scarlet.
 22 She maketh herself
coverings of tapestry;
her clothing is
silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known
in the gates,
when he sitteth
among the elders
of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen,
and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles
unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour
are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice
in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth
with wisdom;
and in her tongue
is the law of kindness.
 27 She looketh well
to the ways
of her household,
and eateth not
the bread of idleness.
 28 Her children arise up,
and call her blessed;
her husband also,
and he praiseth her.
 29 Many daughters
have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all.
 30 Favour is deceitful,
and beauty is vain:
but a woman
that feareth the LORD,
she shall be praised.
 31 Give her of the fruit
of her hands;
and let her own works
praise her in the gates."
