Classics like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
When was the last time you had one? Looking good, Huh?
I just made one. Peanut Butter and Jelly for breakfast…basic and perfect. I use Peanut Delight Creamy Peanut Butter, from Aldi which is yummy, vegan, and cheap! $1.75 a jar. — (Bargain, Jan strikes again!)
A PB&J was the first food I made after my stroke. Today, the sandwich was easier to make than taking a photo. My cell phone and I are not getting along.
This is a killer combo. Where did peanut butter come from?
North Americans weren’t the first to grind peanuts — the Inca beat us to it by a few hundred years — but peanut butter reappeared in the modern world because of an American, the doctor, nutritionist, and cereal pioneer John Harvey Kellogg, who filed a patent for a proto-peanut butter in 1895.
Who invented jelly and jam? — The first jam recipe…
It’s attributed to Marcus Gavius Apicius and dates from the fourth century AD Rome. The book contains over 500 recipes, many using Indian spices, as well as a recipe for soft fruit heated with honey.
