| Sweet Potato and Sugar Snap head back to school. |
Three weeks into the new school year, and if you are like me, you are already struggling to figure out what to pack in the kid's school lunchbox. My kids like the standard pb&j, but it does get monotonous. Here are five sandwich offerings you may not have tried:
FLUFFERNUTTER
Spread one piece of bread generously with peanut butter, and the other piece with marshmallow cream. Mash 'em together. Voila.
PB&JB PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLYBEAN
This is a really fun variation of PB&J. Use jellybeans instead of jelly. Spread both pieces of bread with a thin schmere of peanut butter, and liberally sprinkle jellybeans on one of the peanut buttered bread slices before mashing together.
PB&CC PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE CHIP
Same concept as above, using semi sweet chocolate chips instead of jellybeans.
PB & B: PEANUT BUTTER AND BACON
Peanut butter really lends itself to savory as well as sweet dishes. Fry up some crispy bacon and place in between two pieces of toasted, peanut buttered bread. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a hot, smoky, savory, sweet, crispy treat.
PB&C PEANUT BUTTER AND CHICKEN
This one may be for mom and dad as opposed to the kiddos, depending on how adventurous your family is with food. Take 2 flour tortillas and place a schmere of peanut butter on each one, top with cilantro, and a chicken salad made with 1 can drained chicken breast, a sprinkle of raisins, 1 tbsp mayo, 1tsp turmeric, 1tsp cumin, salt and pepper to taste all mixed together. Hubby adds a squirt of Srirachi sauce for some heat.
