Peanut Butter and Jelly freak of nature

[292]

BubbaJon, you are right PB&J is a treat from the gods. I eat one of these about 4 times a week.

[snuffy]

The idea of that has never appealed to me. SO I can say I've never had one!

Now, even if I were to want to, I can't do it. Being diabetic, that load of carbs and sugar would peg my meter, and require extra insulin. Be glad you can still eat those, and bon appetite!

Drop the jelly and we're talking good eats. I'm a peanut butter junky but can do without the jelly.

I'm more of a "fluffernutter" fan myself

Slather on the PB, add 4 pats of butter, top with peach preserves - AKA Ambrosia!

Or the Elvis Special - PB and sliced Bananas.

A few years ago Reese's PB Cups put out a limited edition with banana creme in it for Elvis' birthday. Sounds gross, but they were awesome!

The peanut butter is a good source pf protein, and Smuckers (and possibly others) make sugar-free jellies and preserves.

I too am diabetic, and PB&J sandwiches are a favorite (WITH the sugar-free preserves/jams).

cumber!

I used to love them when young, and still do once in awhile. Thanks for the reminder, I'll make one for a quick snack tonight lol.

Like BruceB said,there's low carb versions of PB, jam, and bread. There's no need to avoid PB&J, just in moderation, using the right ingredients.

Take that picture of peanut butter and jelly and put it on toast! Nice hot toast that starts to melt the peanut butter........ I eat them quite often.

[runfiverun]

that is not how you make a pb&j.
you lightly toast the bread.
not brown or unevenly toasted either, just softly golden toasted so it has a little crunch.
@ 2 minutes on each side in a 350-f oven is just about right.
then you spread pb on both slices evenly and nicely all the way to the edges.
then you put the jam or jelly or marmalade on in 9 nice even bite sized sections.
just before you spread it a titch to make sure it's all the same height.
repeat this 3 times, and pour a glass of milk.
oh,, and use separate knifes.

Low fat peanut butter and Smuckers sugarless preserves on sourdough is my normal breakfast.

"Moderation in all things...."

[Woody3]

Fried PB and J is the way to go. Make a regular PB and J, put two eggs in a shallow bowl, dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg and fry it on a skillet.

You just can't beat a good fried PB and J. Mmmmmm good.

PB and honey

I like a good PBJ as well. I mix the Pb and jelly in a bowl before putting it on the bread. I can't 'splian it but it just taste different than the two put on the bread un-mixed.

I learned this from from my Dad...pb and fresh jalapeno peppers. Clean out the seeds and white stuff (I forget what call it) from inside the peppers. Then slice 'em and put 'em in your sandwich. Something about the pb takes all the heat out of the peppers, but the flavor is still there. BTW, I like hot stuff, so I was surprised and slightly disappointed that there was no heat to the combination.
