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.
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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha what a good slice. It's good to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich sounds good now!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. 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!
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
ReplyDeleteNot my favorite - my comfort food is grilled cheese!
ReplyDeleteChunky Skippy is my favorite! Thanks for the delicious slice.
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures indeed! Now I want a PB&J...
ReplyDeleteOh 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!

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!
