How do you like you peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

What kind of jelly you like? Grape, Strawberry, Raspberry, etc.

What kind of bread? White, Wheat, Rye, etc.

Also, if you are a peanut butter and banana or other peanut butter and something person, feel free to chime in.

Personally, I like crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam on whole wheat bread.

Ok. Seriously. Smuckers all natural creamy peanut butter on sliced apples with granola and raisens, frozen.

2. Creamy peanut butter with Strawberry preserves on double fiber bread

That was my dinner tonight and that will be my breakfast tomorrow... I need to stop by the store after work. My cupboards are bare.

3. Creamy PB and strawberry jam on buttermilk bread

4. We're having a pb war here

I keep buying creamy because it's best in smoothies, but crunchy is better for sandwiches.

Whole wheat bread, preferably homemade. Unless I get samoon bread at the local bakery, hot from their oven.

Homemade plum jam.

17. There's also powdered peanut butter -

I guess that's for use in smoothies?

5. Crunchy PB on raisin toast with apple butter and sliced bananas.

[Laffy Kat]

6. PB & honey. Not picky about the bread.

Bagels seem to hold up better.

7. creamy peanut butter on white bread with butter

or strawberry preserves on white bread no butter or white toast with butter. peanut butter and jelly should never ever touch

8. Creamy Peanut Butter with Raspberry Jam.

Although I usually just have Creamy Peanut Butter and Lettuce Sammies. I've already made mine for my lunch tomorrow. I'm also adding some spinach to it. We'll see how that goes.

Honey wheat berry toast

apricot jam or orange marmalade

[OriginalGeek]

10. Publix creamy PB and grape jelly

UNLESS I see a jar of BLACK Raspberry jam. That stuff is crack.

Crunchy is fine but I prefer creamy.

White or wheat or honey wheat or white/wheat. As long as it's fresh and chewy and not full of holes. (I love all the groovy multi grain breads from the bakery but they have too many holes for good PB&J)


ALWAYS with crunchy Cheetos on the sandwich. (which is why I don't need crunchy PB)


I love strawberry jelly/jam and orange marmalade too but I think of them more as breakfast things to go on hot biscuits.

11. I discovered that me nephew believes that I can't make a PBJ sandwich correctly.

He pitched a total fit because I put PB on a piece of bread first. Apparently, his dad always started with jelly on one piece, then PB on the other and put them together. Any other order is inedible.

Happened years ago and he doesn't remember, but he was a fussy eater as a child.

[OriginalGeek]

14. I remember something similarly embarrassingly irrational as a child

I watched my grandma make me a PBJ by coating one slice with PB and then just dropping a glop of jelly in the center of the other slice. I pitched a fit because I was worried I'd be eating several bite of PB no J before I got the J and she just told me to (in grandma words) STFU and eat*. Be happy when I got to the center I'd have a surprise. lol



*and when I say "in grandma words" I mean her words were "shut the fuck up". Grandma didn't take no shit from a whiny 5 year old. I learned some of my best swearing from her.

18. I didn't like peanut butter as a child -

I didn't like how it stuck to my teeth. Or watermelon, because of the seeds. But I did like spinach and calve's liver. Weird? Oh Yeah.

12. Two variations:

1) Smooth peanut butter and honey on slightly toasted wheat bread. It has to set for a while in order for the honey to creep into the crannies of the bread.

2) Grilled PB&J (smooth peanut butter, raspberry jam, wheat bread). Think grilled cheese, but PB&J style. If you are daring, you can make a triple decker combining both elements.

[cyberswede]

13. I like crunchy, but the fam likes smooth, so that's what we get...

I like PB & jelly (any kind), PB & honey (mixed together is best), and PB & dill pickles.

The bread doesn't matter, but the PB has to be spread on both slices so the jelly/honey/pickle juice doesn't soak into the bread.

[fizzgig]

20. i thought my family was the only one that did pb and pickles

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. Crunchy PB on warm wheat or sourdough toast

No particular preference on jelly/jam, but I prefer tart over super sweet.

[mainstreetonce]

16. PB and J

Separate but equal Never together

[madamesilverspurs]

19. Creamy peanut butter

between two Ritz crackers.

[So Far From Heaven]

21. Creamy peanut butter with honey mixed and blackberry preserves.

On my wifes' home made whole wheat bread, of course.

[Capt. Obvious]

22. Teddy crunchy peanut butter and banana

strawberry jam if i had to pick a jelly.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. Creamy PB, Blackberry preserves, between a couple of brownies.

Ok, or some sort of whole grain bread, if I can't make it from brownies.

Bon apetit!

[IrishEyes]

28. Feel free to eat it with brownies.

No judgements here. Actually blackberry preserves, peanut butter and chocolate brownies could be an interesting combination.

[Iggo]

24. The normal way.

Whole wheat, smooth PB, strawberry jam.

And there's no deviation allowed on the stack: Bread/PB/Jam/PB/Bread.

[annabanana]

25. peanut butter and bacon on white toast..

Or am I the only one?

[A HERETIC I AM]

26. On toast.

Toast the whole wheat bread.

Take one slice of the bread and gently cut a square out of the top layer, tracing around just inside the crust.

Gently slide the knife under and pry it up. If done properly, you will get a thin piece of bread toasted on one side.

This has now created a "well" on one slice. Fill that to overflowing with Strawberry Preserves (Anything else is poison)

Liberally spread Peanut butter on the other slice of toast. Slap together and eat over the sink! (Preserves side up, of course. After all, we aren't animals, are we?)

Take a little more PB & J and spread it on the little square. Fold in half and eat for dessert.

27. With Salami and a thick slice of Velvetta

29. Creamy peanut butter, raspberry jelly or blackberry, w/wheat bread. n/t

[magical thyme]

30. I like it either way, but I get creamy for my dogs

and I don't buy jams any more. I put whatever fruit I have on it, usually either apples or raspberries.

Right now it's mostly cinnamon applesauce. Last year's drought gave me tons and tons of apples from my mini-orchard....I'm down to the last few weeks worth in my freezer. I got only a moderate amount of raspberries, and a couple of handfuls of strawberries and blueberries. Sadly I'm not sure the strawberry patch or the new blueberry bushes even survived the drought. I'll find out the extent of the damage in the next few weeks...

I avoid bread these days; I was getting absolutely addicted to toast and butter in the winter. So I replaced bread with homemade gluten free cornbread made with buckwheat and cornmeal. And rice cakes. The rice cakes work great with peanut butter and fruit

Yesterday I tried a recipe to make wheat-free crackers -- it worked! Just need some trial and error now to get the oven-time right. Of 3 little batches one came out slightly underdone, one came out overdone and the middle one was just right!

Btw, as a result of the bread embargo, instead of fattening up over the winter I actually lost an inch or so!!!! Just discovered this the other day when I pulled a smaller sized athletic bra out of the drawer. Last fall I got 2 sets -- one my current size and one the size smaller I was hoping to shrink into. I exploded out of the smaller size fall when I tried it on. The other day I realized I'd pulled out a smaller one by mistake when got stuck squeezing into it. But it turned out it had twisted around...when I got it untwisted I managed to make it in -- and I wasn't exploding out any more!!! Hah!!!! Once summer salad season takes hold, I'll lose another inch and the goal will be met!!!!
