Potatoes seem to have gotten some bad publicity over the last couple of years, since the tubers are high in carbs and carbs became the enemy of many, even some who never really followed a strict no-carb diet. But potatoes are versatile and nutritious. A potato contains lots of potassium (40% more than bananas) and up to 40% of the RDA of iron, in addition to being high in B and C vitamins and low in fat.
As the name might suggest, The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book is a cookbook that specializes in peanut butter. The kitchen staple (said to be found in 85% of American homes) is often limited in use to sandwiches and as a dip for pretzels and carrot sticks. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this book uses the stuff in sweet and savory applications, from simple sandwiches to sauces for chicken and vegetable dishes. Some of the more unusual recipes even call for adding it to cocktails! Basically, the book is designed to help guide your imagination through all the ways that peanut butter can be used - and there are hundreds. Written in a very friendly and approachable manner, each of the recipes is straightforward and easy to follow. The authors offer tips and substitutions that go along with many of the recipes, in case you're looking for a variation on a dish for the next time.
The turkey turned out perfectly, but the gravy's a different story. Avoid botching the one recipe that guests pour over their entire Thanksgiving plates with these quick fixes.
