Peanut allergy moms

You all may be aware of this, but I was excited!  I made a dish last night that called for peanut butter.  Of course I won't bring peanuts of any sort into the house, so I subbed Sun Butter for it.  I was amazed at how much it tastes like peanut butter.  Very pleasantly surprised!  That's all.

    Yay!  Sun Butter is yummy!  My brother has a serious peanut allergy so when I was still at home that's all we had in the house.  She used to have to go to a health food store to get it because they didn't sell it at the grocery store :)

    I'm happy you found a substitute you like!

    Sun butter is the bomb! I've never tried to cook with it though. Good to know.

    Yeah, that's awesome!  My brother is only 19 - the discovered his peanut allergy when he was 2 (when he almost died because a baby sitter gave him some for the first time :/  17 years ago everyone acted like my mom was making it up and thought she was weird for trying things like sun butter, you know, hippie stuff :)  It totally rocks that there are alternatives in the regular grocery store now!

    Do you know if sun butter is okay if they're also allergic to tree nuts?

    Yep!  It is made in a peanut and tree nut free facility.  The ingredients are basically sunflower seeds and sugar.  I would give it to Katelyn, but it says it is made on the same equipment that handles soybeans, and she is very allergic to soy.

    Wow! That's awesome. I'll have to try it. I'm glad you found something to work for you, at least.

    Will Katelyn ever grow out of any of her allergies? I know with peanut allergies they say there's a 20% chance, or something like that.

    That's a good question.  We have no idea.  We will go back in June to get her retested.  Hopefully, she will have outgrown some things.  I know she is definitely still very allergic to dogs!

    Did you find it in the organic section at Kroger?  DS loves him a PB&J but his preschool is peanut free.  I had bought some almond butter, but it's made in a facility that handles peanuts.  I would love to try this with him.

    Yep.  It is in the organic/natural section at Kroger.
