Simple Pleasures

Peanut butter and jelly has to be one of my favorite sandwiches.  In fact, I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast this morning.  I believe the best PB & J sandwich needs 3 important ingredients.  To start, the bread needs to be extremely fresh.  Eating a sandwich on sort of old, dry bread will not do.  Secondly, the peanut butter should be Jif.  I have to admit I was a Skippy peanut butter fan for some time but I switched back to Jif after having it at my sister’s house.  She reminded me that my grandmother always used Jif.  Anything my granny made was delicious so I went back to Jif and am happy that I did.  Finally, there is the jelly.  I prefer strawberry jam on my PB & J. 

Soft bread, Jif peanut butter (without chunks, please) and strawberry jam- that’s what I call a perfect sandwich.  The only thing that can make it even better is an icy, cold glass of milk.

  1. I agree, but to make it perfect, it needs to be warm - room temperature. One summer I worked as a lifeguard and brought my PBJ for lunch every day. It sat in the workroom in a locker until noon. It was perfectly warm and drippy by then. Yum.

  2. Oh how I LOVE a good PB&J! I had one for lunch today! :) MY favorite however is TOASTED with crunchy PB and triple berry jelly- add a few baked cheddar chips in between the slices for an extra crunch and some different flavor- YUM! :)

  4. Hmmm. dinner idea perhaps. It's a quick solution- but I do like a crunchy peanut butter. Your simple description was a analogous to this simple sandwich. Nice writing!

  5. My mouth is watering. I love a good PB & J. I put peanut butter on both pieces of bread and the jelly squishes between. This sounds like a great dinner with some hot tea tonight!

  9. Oh man, you just made me want to run and make one! Took me right back to my childhood although, I would swap out the strawberry for seedless raspberry jam. Otherwise, delish!

  10. I agree, strawberry preserves or jam for me too! I could eat PB&J for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Sometimes it is a late night snack when I am craving something sweet!
