I have a question why do companies now feel the need to pad peanut butter by adding "tree nuts"?

Peanuts are heavy enough by themselves there is no need to pad the product.

I bought a jar of peanut butter the other day put out by Kraft. I like Kraft but they have switched up their no salt, no sugar product and are now leaving the oil on it. This makes it heavy. I ate two slices of bread with peanut butter on it for lunch yesterday and felt slightly blech after. I know it was the extra oil that I mixed into the peanut butter.

So, I am now looking for another natural brand with out salt, added oil or sugar in it. *sigh* And I looooooove peanut butter.

The package had 4 in it, so I have 2 more for tonight that will get the same treatment.

I'm not sure if they're adding tree nuts to the peanut butter, or if the peanuts are now being processed on the same equipment as tree nuts, so they added the 'tree nut' caution for people with severe allergies ...? And of course they'd have to add a peanut caution on their other nut butter products like almond butter - contains peanuts.

I hadn't thought about that. Silly me. I should have.

Oh, I know products have warnings on them about tree nuts and peanuts for people with those allergies. I was looking at package of cookies today and they had a list of things that aren't in the cookies. I could actually eat these if I wanted too.

As they contain no milk or eggs.

Yup. There two brands from 2 different companies. So either of these cookies is safe for me as neither cookie has eggs or milk in them. They cost a little more than your average cookie but that is because they are catering to a "specialty market". And if I remember correctly they are both locally produced. They are small packages, so really it wouldn't take me long to eat them.

Last 2 lamb chops were just as delicious as the first two.

Discovered that too much pepper and garlic give me gas now.

If I haven't mentioned it earlier, after 3 small-scale attempts using different proportions and ingredients, I've kind of given up on my curry-flavored filled garbanzo-bean flour biscuits as a meal, or until I figure out what to do differently. They taste really nice, but the texture isn't what I want it to be.

My next recipe to try out is a potato, onion, green bell pepper, chicken, and mozzarella frittata. For 12 servings ... 2 pounds each of the vegetables, 18 eggs 'blendered' with a 15oz tub of ricotta (I've found out over the years that plain whipped eggs keep tightening up if you freeze them, getting harder and rubberier and squeezing out their water, but whipping them with ricotta keeps them lighter and fluffier), 3 pounds chicken cut into small pieces and baked, a pound of grated mozzarella, plus fennel seed herb and red pepper flakes.

It's supposed to be like the Italian dish made of hot Italian sausage, potatoes, onions, and green bell peppers.

Have you tried PB2 yet?
It is crushed peanuts, to the point of powder. You only add water to make peanut butter.
I have seen you can order it online or by phone.
