It's taken me 15 years to perfect. The ONLY way to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Anyone who sends kids to school with that staple (provided it's allowed), needs to learn this. It will save you money because your kids won't throw away soggy sandwiches then come home and eat you into homelessness. It will save you from untold hours of lamenting, fighting, whining that they hate their lunch. And it will make you the Goddess of the Brown Bag. (You do know that lunch boxes, pouches and grocery bags are uncool, right?)
Here's the secret:
Thin coat of peanut butter on one slice of bread.
Thin coat on the OTHER slice.
NOW put the jelly (I'd recommend jam because it's thicker and more consistent to spread) IN BETWEEN.
The peanut butter protects the bread from getting soggy.
I know, brilliant, right? And I'll even let you take the credit with your kids for being the smartest mom ever. :)
