I love a good salty-sweet combination. I think this is attributed to my childhood love of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
My mom used to make my pb and j with mint jelly. It was my favorite. Who eats that!?
My love for mint jelly began when my mom served it with lamb. She made a big deal about calling it special jelly and I think this, coupled with its sweet and refreshing flavor, fostered our strong love connection.
My lunch today was a pb and j remix… “Remix” because no jelly was actually involved. Instead I used this:
Apple Butter
(Even Sadie knows this stuff is the jam.)
My dad would always eat apple butter with cottage cheese which looked beyond repulsive but tasted ah-maze-ing. I stole this particular apple butter during my last visit home. My parents are the best sharers.
My lunchtime sammie featured a whole wheat Arnold’s sandwich thin, smothered in apple butter and creamy peanut butter.
Peanut and Apple Butter
I added several Brothers-All-Natural apple crisps for some crunchy crunch.

Apple and Peanut Butter Sammie
Perfection. Salty, sweet, doughy, delicious.

I love that you steal food from your parent’s pantry because I ALWAYS do!!

Finally got on your blog!! I love that brand and you can use their jars as glasses afterwards 😀 That sandwich sounds very yummy. I love freeze-dried fruit.

I just found your blog when you commented on mine; I love it! Your pup is adorable 🙂
I love mint jelly, and red pepper jelly, too! They’re both great on toast or crackers with cream cheese 🙂
Are you in Tampa? I saw in your about me that your sister was at UF, 2 hours north from you. I graduated from UF and grew up in Tampa!
I actually live in Orlando but my parents live in St. Pete! 🙂 My sister is looovin’ UF!
My dad loves peanut butter and onion sandwiches! Totally bizarre but strangely delicious!
Haha! I’ve never heard of that one! 🙂
