Donut | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 11:36 am   Time for a snack halfway between Big Brother II and III. Whats your favorite PBJ? mine-- Standard: Skippy creamy with Smuckers Strawberry Preserves on convenience store brand white bread Healthy: Arrowhead Farms Organic Creamy 100% Valencia Peanut Butter with Polaner Black Cherry All Fruit on Vermont Organic soft whole wheat bread Alternate: Skippy creamy PB with Marshmallow Fluff glopped on equally thick on white mmm....mmm....good... |
Babyruth | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 11:53 am   I like Smucker's low sugar raspberry jam or some homemade strawberry/rhubarb jam from the farmer's market lady, and any natural peanut butter, on dense multi-grain wheat bread. Now I have a question, do you: A. put PB on one bread slice and J on another, then put them together (my style) B. put both PB and J on one slice then top with a plain slice (my partner's style) C. or do you do the cool thing I learned in my 43rd year of life and put some PB on each slice, then jelly on one and put them together to keep the jelly from oozing through when it's for a lunchbox sandwich to be eaten later? Donut, I used to LOVE Fluffernutters when I was a kid! Haven't tried one in eons. |
Car54 | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 12:00 pm   The grind it yourself kind from the health food store- chunky, on an apple-cinnamon bagel with applesauce, not jelly. Messy, but great! |
Firebird05 | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 12:09 pm   Peter Pan Creamy with Weilch's grape jelly on honey wheat bread. I always go with C. It keeps the bread from getting soggy and I hate soggy bread. PB with marshmallow fluff? Sounds interesting how did you come up with that reciepe? Do you toast it or not? I once had a friend who ate PB with pickles. |
Jeep | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 12:42 pm   I love peanut butter on VERY fresh white bread with Miracle Whip sandwich spread on the other piece with sliced banannas in between! My hubby gags everytime he sees it! |
Karuuna | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 12:46 pm   Fluffer Nutters are great, but as age (and weight) creeps up, nowadays I stick with lowfat Jif Supercrunch, with a little honey drizzled on it, on whole wheat bread. Um, um, good (and good for you!) |
Weinermr | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 01:57 pm   My favorite P B & J is just the J I'm allergic to nuts, so I can't eat peanut butter. My favorite jelly is Knott's Berry Farm strawberry preserves, which is delicious on toast. |
Car54 | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:02 pm   You are allergic to nuts and you hang around here  |
Jenhavins | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:22 pm   Lowfat Jif Creamy on a tablespoon...plain and simple. Quick breakfast as I am running out the door on the weekdays. Of course I rinse the spoon off and put in the dishwasher! The honey drizzle sounds yummy. |
Tess | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:44 pm   Reduced-fat Skippy on Oatnut Bread with grape jelly style A. Will have to consider style C when I start sending lunches to school in the fall. My favorite late-night snack is the same peanut butter on Oatnut toast. YUM |
Spygirl | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 03:45 pm   Regular: Peter Pan Creamy, Welch's Grape Jelly....Mixed together in a bowl, with a little more jelly than PB. Then spread on fresh, soft white bread. YUMMY. Second runner up, same mixture, spread on toasted bread. Healthier: Reduced-fat Skippy on ritz, sometimes on one slice of toasted bread |
Firebird05 | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 04:49 pm   Hey Spygirl it looks like we have the same PB&J ingrediants. Two different receipies. If we ever have to eat PB&J for a week, we have two days covered. |
Bookworm | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 05:36 pm   I like jiff PB and strawberry preserves! Nightcrawler likes white bread with creamy Skippy and grape or apple jelly. He says he like Goobers too, but it looks so unappetizing... |
Myjohnhenry | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 05:55 pm   My very favorite is to eat peanut butter is the Skippy peanut butter with Nestles Choc Chips on Buttermilk or SOurdough toast. Outside of that fancy peanut butter...my preference is creamy Jif with homemade raspberry jam on white bread (including several "varieties" of white) using method C. Never have tried it with marshmallow fluff, but have eaten peanut butter and bananas as well as miracle whip and bananas, but never pb, mw and bananas all together. |
Angelnikki | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 06:09 pm   jiff pb and strawberry preserves on fresh soft white or potato bread(aunt hatties) yum yum!!! i love strawberry preserves on toast or jiff pb on toast but not together on toast! i know im weird. i havent had marshmallow fluff mixed with pb or bananas but i have had pb and banana sandwich when i was a kid and i loved them. not so much now. i usually do type A but for my son i do type C cause all he wants in his lunch is pb&j sandwich. now him, he doesnt care if its smooth or crunchy or what type of jelly or jam or preserves, he just loves pb&j  |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 07:04 pm   Just give me a regular peanut butter and grape jelly. I am plain type of gal. |
Luvmom | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 07:09 pm   First and fore most,it would have to be: 1. Kraft creamy pb light on one slice of soft italian loaf/then Nutella on another and put them together. 2.Kraft creamy pb light and welch's grape jelly on one slice of white bread and a plain one on top. |
Jbean | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 09:08 pm   i like crunchy peanut butter and apple jelly (of course you use your two pieces of bread respectively, for each of them) on fresh white bread. |
Littlebreeze | Saturday, February 09, 2002 - 05:30 am   Make it PB&B for me.... white bread, Skippy creamy on one slice, mashed banana on the other slice. Slap together and eat, an ice cold glass of milk on the side. Mmm mmm. I have a friend who prefers PB&PC..... spreads PB on a slice of bread, piles potato chips on top of the PB, throws the other slice of bread on top, presses down on the sandwich so the chips break up and flatten out, then munches happily away. |
Donut | Saturday, February 09, 2002 - 04:41 pm   wow, what variety we bring to the world of pbj! I notice that the fastest responders were from Massachusetts.... what that means i dont know.... I cant believe that the rest of the nation has not experienced a Fluffernuter!! Karuuna are you sure you are not from boston? I think maybe its a regional sandwhich. Babyruth, method C sounds very logical although i would be afraid that the jelly would just slip out without the bread to cling to! I will have to try it. Does anyonelse eat PBJ for breakfast beside me? its good for eating in the car on the way to work.I used to eat grilled PB&J for a real pigout- anyone else? When i was a kid my best friend ate grilled cheese with grape jelly. Sounded gross but actually tasted good. PB and mayo, or applesauce or chips???Boy, i am getting an education! |
Littlebreeze | Saturday, February 09, 2002 - 05:42 pm   Donut.... I loooove Fluffernutters. Fluff's made here in Lynn, MA at Durkee-Mower. My company does their trucking. We haul tons of Fluff all over the country. Now I'm craving a spoonful. Ever do that, open up your PB and Fluff, then eat it straight from the jars?.... a spoonful of PB then a spoonful of Fluff, or a dip into the PB and an additional dip into the Fluff for a mixed spoonful. Grape jelly goes well too, a 3-dipper. I'd pay someone right now to go out and buy me some PB&F. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, February 09, 2002 - 05:47 pm   I've had Fluffernutters, and they are delicious. |
Lobster | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 10:19 am   Fluffernutters Rule!!!! |
Donut | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 11:38 am   yay fluffernutter people!! Hey littlebreeze, if you are from lynn then we are pretty much neighbors! Hey lobster, dont see you here much but when talk is of pats or fluff your radar must go off cuz you instantly appear! |
Donut | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 11:41 am   btw, i love spooning the stuff. usually pb then fluff, gets messy the other way! Have thought about the jelly 3way- will have to try it. Tried the rasberry fluff to get the effect but didnt do it for me. Looks pretty but i go for the pure fluff... |
Lobster | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 03:02 pm   Donut, my name should probably be Lurkette instead of Lobster. I have to feel pretty strongly about a subject before I will crawl out from under my rock. I also tend to read threads that by the time I finish going through the archives, they've become about something completely different than the heading suggests. Such as this one which has become about fluffernutters instead of PB&J. LOL |
Urgrace | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 06:35 pm   Had an invite to dinner once and the only thing on the table was peanut butter dill pickle sandwiches! I thought I would gag, but was hungry after cutting down and cutting up an entire tree. The sandwich was actually pretty good! I prefer Jif Creamy PB with Welch's Grape Jam (not jelly) on Honey Wheat style A. No one ever told me about style C! I sometimes like Plum jelly as a substitute. I have never had a fluffernutter either. Is Fluff the same as Marshmallow Creme? |
Littlebreeze | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 06:41 pm   Donut.... I'm not from Lynn, Lynn, the City Of Sin. I should've said that Fluff's made here in MA, in Lynn. I'm from just outside of Boston, south shore. I don't know exactly where you are, but if you're near Lynn then we're still closeby each other, still neighbors. |
Misslibra | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 06:53 pm   Ugrace I think your a really cool person and all but that is Grosssss!! Peanut butter and dillpickle sandwich?! Will excuse you this time because you were really hungry, just don't make a habit of it. And Jeep I agree with your Husband, mirclewhip is my favorite spread but some how I just can't see it hanging out with peanut butter. Car 54 that was a good, but funny point you made with Weinermr. Ok after talking about everybody elses taste my favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich is none, I don't like peanut butter and jelly at all, and I would have to be very hungry to even eat it. I don't know why but I never have liked it even as a child growing up I just couldn't eat the stuff. <MissLibra makes a fast exit out of this thread before she is thrown out for saying she don't like PB&J> |
Knightpatti | Wednesday, February 13, 2002 - 08:57 pm   BB people are lucky that they are penalized with PB & J . Great food. Have you ever tried it spread on apple slices? Delicious! I also like PB on a plain bagel toasted for breakfast. Lunch it is great with peach fruit jelly no sugar on whole wheat toast. It is very late and I want one now. You all have made me hungry. But I will resist. Instead I will read more posts. |
