pb&...

If you know me, especially in college, you know that I've had my share of peanut  butter and jelly sandwiches. And if you know me better, you know that jelly on one slice and peanut butter on the other doesn't cut it. The trick to an even better pb&j is mixing.

Heaping serving spoon of peanut butter, full soup spoon of strawberry jelly or jam.
Use a fork to mix, spread across bread.

Takes maybe 2 minutes longer this way, but trust me, you'll never go back. I feel sorry for those who still top each slice and smush them together. Just as I pitty those who try to make toast with jelly or cinnamon in a toaster instead of a oven/toaster oven. But that's a whole lesson for a whole other day.

If you want to spice things up, peanut butter and banana (yes, all mixed up before applied to bread) is a yummy way to do it. However, I'd like to introduce you to a little friend you may not have tried: Peanut butter and strawberries. Not strawberry jelly or strawberry jam...  real sliced strawberries. Here is where my philosophy is different. You don't have to mix these up. Just slice and put on your bread! I know it might seem a little weird, but it really is wonderful.The comments box is always open for thank you's after you try this out.

You're welcome.
