Peanut Butter lovers unite – It’s National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! Wooohooo! In my household, we LOVE Peanut Butter and it’s consumed most days!
Did you know….
* Peanuts are not actually nuts at all! They are legumes, like beans, peas and lentils.
* Americans eat 3 pounds of peanut butter per person every year. That’s about 700 million pounds, or enough to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon!
* Peanuts may be a favorite food, but we’ve found many uses for their shells too! You might find peanut shells in kitty litter, wallboard, fireplace logs, paper, animal feed and sometimes as fuel for power plants!
* Two peanut farmers have been elected President of the United States: Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.
* One acre of peanuts will make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches.

OH man, if I had read this earlier, I would of had PBJ for lunch. That’s my favorite way to eat it. I might have to change our dinner plans for tonight and whip up some peanut butter cookies to celebrate.
