Peanut-free PB & J Sandwich
We discovered I.M. Healthy SoyaNut Peanut Butter in the 2008 Today's Parent back to school issue. The article featured the results of a taste test of a number of no-nut peanut butters — I.M. came up the winner! Our kids love this nut-free peanut butter which means they can take a peanut butter sandwich to school. We mark our son's sandwich container with a sticky note that says, "I'm a nut-free peanut butter sandwich" so teachers and students know he is not using real peanut butter.

Mini Cheese Ball Pumpkins
