I am excited to welcome Christine Friesenhahn from “Texanaskitchen” as our guest blogger for April 2nd, National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!

She explains “How to Eat PBJ Like a Grown Up.”

“As old as I keep getting, and believe me, I just keep getting older, I still love Peanut Butter and Jelly. Almost nothing makes me feel like a kid again as easily as a PB&J sandwich.

When I was in pre-school at David Wick’s Episcopal School, Tuesday lunch was always peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, on crappy white bread, served with salty Fritos and some carrot and celery sticks on the side.  It was my favorite meal of the week, and to this day, I still put Fritos on my sandwich, and serve it with carrot and celery sticks.  And an 8 oz carton of white milk. DUHHHH.

The combined smells and tastes of that combination would give Marty McFly and his time travelling DeLorean whiplash.

If I could only find my Mickey Mouse in Space lunch box.

Although there is no real need to, sometimes it’s fun to just sass it up with the PB&J flavors, or the appearance of the dishes…The flavors go well together in both sweet and savory dishes, so the possibilities are truly vast.

Here are a few of my favorite, more grown-up takes on the childhood classic.”
