Peanut butter day is a great holiday to celebrate....that is unless you are allergic.
I truly don't know the reasoning behind the latest surge in peanut allergies, but I know there are several current cases in my son's classes. When I was a kid, I don't remember a single case which meant that my mom could make any sort of treat for my birthday. It's not that I don't have sympathy for these kiddos---I do---but I would like to make my kid some cupcakes for his class without freaking out about where the nearest epi pen is. If only George Washington Carver could see this.
That being said, we enjoyed the simple pleasures found within a PB & J for lunch, without an epi pen.
Dinner was pretty simple (out of necessity)---just chicken with lemon pepper, squash and potatoes. Pretty tasty and cooked in less than 27 minutes.
And today is day 24. But who's counting?
