The go-to lunch in our house is the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich – aka PB&J. Not only are PB&J sandwiches super easy to make, but they taste amazing too. We make our PB&Js with Smucker’s and Jif because we love the delicious combination of Smucker’s sweet strawberry jelly and the creamy, fresh roasted peanut taste of Jif.

    This is an awesome idea for lunches.My kids always hated most sandwiches and complained of them tasting too sweaty after sitting for half a day before they got to eat them.These sound perfect and could probably get changed up with different jams and /or cheese or whatever.

    These are so much nicer than using plain bread – and more nutritious, too.
