PB, J, & A Sandwich
"I ate this sandwhich everyday when I worked (And I ate it just now for old time's sake. MMMMM). It's nummy. The microwave version makes the apples soft and reminds me of a PBJ Apple Pie Sandwhich. The skillet version keeps the apples crispier. I highly recommend Granny Smiths (I'm biased) and feel free to adjust ingredients to your taste. I use Smuckers sugar free jam. I've tried blackberry, apricot, and strawberry. As for the PB, you can buy it at Trader Joe's or at www.peanutwonder.com. Each 2 tbsp. serving is 100 cals and 2.5g fat! :)"

This is one of my favorites! I use canned "no added sugar" apple pie filling. Yum! Also good in a wrap with some cream cheese or cottage cheese added. -
An interesting sandwich. I have had grilled PB&J sandwiches in the past, but hadn't considered the addition of apples. I used a multi-grain bread, an all natural peanut butter, homemade chokecherry jelly (not sugar-free, but soooo good), and a Granny Smith apple. I cut the cinnamon back to just a sprinkle and omitted the allspice and ginger. A full teaspoon of the cinnamon would have been far to bitter for my taste, and I feared that the other spices would have also seemed overpowering. I slathered the outside of the sandwich with butter and grilled. I like the crispy bread, the creamy, melted peanut butter and the contrast of tart apples and sweet jelly. I would omit the spices in the future.

Been several years since I was last active and experimenting, but I'm coming back into it.
I used to be vegetarian (even had a touch of the veganism), and I still love me my veggies, but I also love me my meat. I will never stop liking tofu no matter what. Don't knock until you try it cooked PROPERLY. Tofu is so easy to mess up.
