Delicious substitutes

• Lightly blot apples in honey, instead of peanut butter.
• Prepare yourself a popcorn when you really want something crunchy and salty.
• Think about alternatives to a peanut butter sandwich: try a turkey sandwich with cranberries, cheddar cheese and chutney (Indian meat seasoning) or red pepper fried in goat cheese cheese.
