Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches... Yummy!!! Comfort food for sure!

I adore strawberry jam! That seems to be a favorite among most people, in fact. I've never had it with peanut butter, though. I'm going to have to try it. I have strawberry jelly in a cupbord, so I'll start with that and get the jam next time. I hated peanut butter for a long time because, when my sister and I were young, we had a 'nanny' who made us eat peanut butter sandwiches every single day! No jelly or jam, just peanut butter and bread. I learned to hate the stuff and didn't eat it for years! But, once I was out on my own, I decided to try it again and I'm glad I did. The jelly makes the peanut butter so much easier to eat. It doesn't get stuck to the roof of your mouth!

PB no jelly? I would gag on that. What a mean nanny you had.

Yeah, it was pretty nasty! It was so dry, we'd drink all our milk and ask for more! (Maybe that was why she did it!) She was a mean one, she was! Corn flakes every day for breakfast, too. I got to hate them as well. I've eaten them since, but usually I stay away from them.

Like I said, I have yet to try apple flavor jelly with peanut butter. Actually if you like to eat jelly with sandwiches, you can try cheese (either spread or sliced) and slap a generous portion of strawberry jelly or jam on it. Mmm~~~ Mmmm~~~ MMmmmmmm~~~ Super yummy combination that is worth every bite! I get cravings for stuff like that once in a while. The combination of the salty and sweet flavor is really very very nice!

The type of peanut butter is entirely up to you. I prefer smooth and creamy now but there was a time when I loved the chunky kind. I love strawberry jelly, too. Strawberry and apple are my two favorite fruit flavors in anything I eat.

I had a pilonidal cyst removed from my buttock (no joke, I have a real pain in my butt), and I can only eat things that will make me go to the restroom without causing me much pain. I know, it stinks. Anyway, I eat anything with fiber, a lot of water, juices, greens, and meat. If it cleans my system, I am eating it.

I wish you great speed in the healing process! I do hope it wasn't anything too serious. Maybe a good PB&J sandwich will help? I mean, it IS comfort food, after all! I'm just kidding. It sounds like it must've been some type of abdominal/gastrointestinal type of surgery for you to be on a special diet almost a week after surgery? I truly do wish you the very best and a rapid recovery! Take care!

Hmmm, maybe a glass of warm milk? I've heard that works to help you sleep, but never tried it. I DO know that after eating my sandwich, I wanted to just lie down and drift right off.

You gain weight by not eating? Wow! I know a LOT of dieters who would love your secret!!! You really should eat, though. Heck, in your case, you just might lose weight by eating, since you gain by not eating. I have health issues so I have to be careful about the way I eat. I eat several small meals a day instead of 3 large ones. Well, my 'meals' are more like snacks. I only eat healthy stuff, too; no fast food for me (even though I adore it)! You're not on antidepressants of any kind, by any chance, are you? They're notorious for putting weight on you even if you don't eat much at all. I know... been there, done that. I'm just curious.

Oh, heck. I forgot a very important part of that first sentence. I meant to say, "I know a lot of dieters who are trying to GAIN weight who would love your secret."

Yum! Apricot! I LOVE the variety among jams and jellies! My kids used to insist on the swirled peanut butter and jelly stuff. I wasn't too fond of it myself but that's probably because I grew up with it being in two different jars. Geesh, all this talk about PB&J sandwiches has made me want another one! Good think I just bought fresh milk yesterday!

Nah, you're not weird, just different. It's never wrong to be different! I was forced to eat peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly) when I was young and we had a nanny. She was like a drill sergeant! Corn flakes for breakfast and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch every single day. I got so sick of eating them!!! I didn't eat them for quite a long time after I grew up. But, once I was on my own, I started experimenting with cooking and food preparation and learned that I actually LIKED peanut butter sandwiches, but ONLY if they had jelly on them. The peanut butter without jelly was/is simply too dry for me. I love your daughter's sandwich... just jelly. Can't go wrong with that!
