A Simple Sandwich

I grew up eating peanut butter. It seems so American like mom and apple pie. But nowadays, with all the fears about peanut butter allergies and food poisoning from tainted peanut butter, my wife and I look for peanut-butter alternatives for my kids. One we found is almond butter. I made my kids an almond butter and jam sandwich and the kids loved it. Almond butter on bread is a low-sugar snack, and almond butter seems to be a good source of protein. There are probably more peanut-butter alternatives out there, and the next time I shop, I'll look for them. For now, though, my kids are happy with almond butter and so I'm happy.
