Finding a peanut butter replacement

Peanut butter has been a staple in my diet for years.
Putting a spread of peanut butter on apple slices or a banana really satisfies my hunger.
Peanut butter on toasted bread made a satisfying meal - even with a little cheater bread.
I didn't feel hungry after eating peanut butter.

But nuts and peanut (even though they are a legume) are off my diet for the next 4 months.
I am having that "hungry" feeling almost every day.  Sometimes to distraction.

Today I hunted for some sunflower seed spread recipes to see if I can replace peanut butter with sunflower seed spread.
This first one I tried is too garlicy, but I like the texture and the taste.  I had to add more olive oil and water to let the spread blend.
I do like to pan roast the seeds for a nuttier flavor.
It can be refined as I make more batches.

Something to drink in the morning, plz.

I love coffee.
I can get myself out of bed in the morning because I know the $40 cappuccino maker will create a hot, frothy, creamy cuppa java in just a few minutes.
We drink so much coffee that our coffee maker usually dies in about 12 months.
We have taken our coffee maker on vacations with us - just so we don't have to be "without" our hearty brew.
Coffee is a treat for me.  Something I can brew up and feel really good about.

But today is day4 of my Migraine-Free Diet*.
I'm taking out the caffeine, tyramine, nitrate, nitrite, sulfite and chocolate from my diet in an attempt to get my headaches down from 10-15/month to under 2/month.

Day1 was painful.  The migraine started at 11am and didn't let up until late that night.
Day2 was better.  The migraine started about 4pm and I was only down for 4hrs.
No Imitrex.  Just two naproxin is all I am allowing myself so I won't get into rebound headaches.
Day3 held no headache.  I am encouraged.

But I need something to look forward to upon waking.
Something hearty and hot.
So far, the wimpy teas I've tried have not given me the satisfaction I crave.
Just hot water and milk have been better than the teas, so far.

I'm going to try Red Bush Tea from South Africa.
I remember reading about it in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.  And our dear neighbor who lived in South Africa recommended it.

I've ordered it from Amazon.  One hundred packets for $16 with 2day delivery.
No headache yet.  But it is early in the day.
