Thank you. I’m sure that they were made aware of it. The teachers at my son’s school are not afraid to tell parents when there has behaved badly.

This brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful for your son to know that he has such a loving and trusting relationship with you. I hope those kids’ parents find out what their kids did, because I’m sure they don’t want their sons bullying any more than you want your son bullied.

Thanks, Tammy. Obviously I’ve been away from my blog for quite some time. I will take a look at your book review when I get a chance. Hopefully soon.

Great post. I’m with you on this one. I just read a great book that I reviewed on my blog that you might like – Eating between the lines. I learned a lot about labeling.

Ha! Well, I’m glad that you made the switch. I know that it can be a bother and pretty gross to have to deal with the initial pool of oil on top. The hard as a rock nut butter has happened to me too at times. I can’t 100% say what causes it sometimes and not others. I’ve always figured it was because I didn’t mix it thoroughly when I opened it. Here are some tips that I can pass along:

1. Make sure that your peanut butter needs to be refrigerated(some don’t). It’s the refrigeration that usually makes it hard. Because the peanut butter is natural, it doesn’t have all those additives and preservatives to somehow keep the peanut oil from separating and becoming a solid at low temperatures as it naturally would.

2. Before you open the jar, store it in the cupboard upside down for a couple of days if you have the time. The oil will rise to the top (bottom) and when you turn it over to open, it will be MUCH easier to stir without all the glop on top.

3. Stir, stir, stir repeat. The more you stir, the more the oil will be mixed in.

4. If it’s still super hard, chisel out a clump and put it in the microwave for 5 seconds. Long enough to warm the oil and soften. Sometimes, I’ve toasted the bread, using the heat from the bread to warm the peanut butter for better spreading.

I hope this helps!

I have a question oh natural food goddess. We switched to all natural and organic peanut butter. The kind that has the oil that floats to the top. After we got over the initial “ick” factor of the oil, everything seemed fine. In fact, we like the taste much better than regular processed peanut butter. However, it’s now turned hard as a rock. We can barely get a knife to sink into it let alone smear it on bread. What did we do wrong?

Thanks Tammy. At this point is still a fun treat to go to the farms. I hope it stays that way for a long time. I haven’t tried Kombucha yet, even bottled from the store. It kind of scares me a little. I’m going to give it a try soon though!
