I'd love it too! I like to eat all over in Grand Rapids, I've got a list of new places to try and I have old favorites too. There's a relatively new Mexican place downtown called maggie's Kitchen, they even have barbacoa made of beef cheeks, there's a Caribbean place with some kind of goat dish that's only got curbside service, a fish place on Kalamazoo down by the Mediterranean Market, and there are old standbys like Pietro's. I love the Blue Water Grill but that's clear over off Plainfield on East Beltline, and there are a lot of places I haven't even tried downtown near VanAndel and The B.O.B. Any preferences? Sushi? Indian? Fish? Diner? Even chain restaurants if you have a favorite, heck, we've even got a Sonic now, right across the street from Gordon Food Service on Alpine, LOL. You tell me when and we'll find a where! I'm definitely going to have to check D&W for Koeze's, though, and the one on 44th has DeRueze's Gourmet Market right next door. They now have a cut rate gourmet department where they get pallets full of stuff for really cheap, it's fun but you never know what you'll find for a buck... Annie

Stick with creamy, not chunky. Some of the 'natural' kinds have a lot of oil at the top of the jar.I volunteer at a rescue & we stuff Kongs with pb, then freeze them & give them to the dogs for their afternoon snack. All that oil makes the pb just slide out of the Kongs and it really makes a mess. We get a lot of the natural kind & we just can't use it.

I think I'd go for the peanut butter chips, some creamy peanut butter and cream. Heat the cream, pour over the chips and peanut butter to melt and you "should" have something that resembles ganache. I think. This should be interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. Annie

I will have to try this. I haven't been able to eat peanut products for years but finally found a peanut butter substitute that looks and tastes like the peanut butter I remember and the best part you can use it in recipes just as you would use peanut butter. It is called Wowbutter and is made with roasted soy and has the same texture as peanut butter too. Over the years I have tried different nut butters but this one is the best WOWBUTTER
