PB&J

A couple of fun ideas with PB&J:

My favorite: Make your basic PB&J sandwich and for a change grill it like you are making grilled cheese. Even easier, if you have a toaster over pop it in for regular medium toasting time. Crispy, warm and delicious.

PB&J Roll Ups: Pull out the left over tortillas from the pantry bought for burrito night and spread on a thin layer of Peanut Butter. Next add just a small dollop of your favorite jam to the middle and pile on some fruit (such as sliced up apples, pears, bananas, raisins or grapes etc). Finally wrap up like your making a burrito and enjoy. My experience - kids love these ... especially if they get to pick the fruit.

Fancy PB&J Egg rolls: I did this for a party. Kind of an upscale kids dish to look pretty next to the grown up dishes. Admittedly the grownups liked them as much as the kids. Start with store bought won ton wrappers (surprisingly they are usually in the produce section, but sometimes in the frozen foods). To prevent them from drying out during assembly prepare all other ingred's first and then open the pkg right at the end. Stuffing's- PB&J, peanut butter and Nutella (spreadable chocolate), peanut butter and bananas, and/or peanut butter and raisins or sweet dried cherries. Egg white wash or plain water in a glass to seal the sides.
-Lay a won ton wrapper out, pile a small amount of select ingred's in the middle, brush the sides with water and roll like making an egg roll. Assemble all rolls and then fry in 2 inches of veggie oil or place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 until golden brown. Serve warm.
