It’s PB & Jelly time and we are celebrating National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day. Peanut butter and jelly is perhaps the greatest food pairing in human history. To celebrate this day, make the famous American sandwich for lunch! It simply includes a layer of peanut butter and either jam or jelly on bread.
It’s the favorite lunchtime sandwich for most American kids, and many adults, too. There is just something magical about the combination of sweet jelly and salty peanut butter. No wonder this has become a staple in school lunchboxes!
This food holiday is a classic favorite of many. The average child will have eaten over 1500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by the time they graduate from high school.
