Celebrate Peanut Month the Los Angeles Way

March is National Peanut Month — though we think they could’ve called it Peanut Butter Month and we’d all be celebrating the same way. Because yes, peanuts are high in protein and healthy fat and pretty good on their own … but, with only a few exceptions, it’s really all about the peanut butter. Below are some of our favorite peanut preparations available around Los Angeles, from sweet to savory. And one that we’re not so sure about, but hey, at least they’re trying.

The national consumption average of peanuts is six pounds per year. Where do you fall on the spectrum?

Paul Prudhomme’s St. Louis Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day! To celebrate, we’re sharing this St. Louis Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie by Paul Prudhomme, one of KCET’s celebrity chefs. Peanut butter, which has been around for as long as there have been humans (though only recently sold in jars rather than strictly homemade), is reportedly always in 90% of North American homes. It is even more popular in St. Louis, the city that popularized the treat in the 1890s as a food for people missing their teeth. Then, in 1904, it was the hottest seller at the St. Louis World’s Fair — and as a people, we are in love with it still. Banana, as everyone from toddlers to Elvis knows, is the perfect accompaniment to peanut butter. This pie combines them both into one perfect dessert. If you haven’t a food processor, a hand blender or extremely strong arms will work just as well. See the recipe here!
