I had done a post earlier on my dad's famous grilled cheese sandwiches. He is also known for his grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You make them pretty much the same way you would a grilled cheese, but obviously you use peanut butter and jelly instead. Mmmm, they are delish!!
Here's how dad makes them:
Heat the griddle up. Butter one side of two pieces of bread. On one piece spread peanut butter on the non-buttered side. Use lots of peanut butter. Chunky peanut butter makes them better. Then spread the jelly over the peanut butter. Place the other piece of bread on it (butter side out). Cook til golden brown on both sides.
I have to admit that now, sometimes, I get a little lazy and just toast two pieces of bread and put peanut butter and jelly on them to make the sandwiches. Not quite as good, but definitely faster.
Hope your kids enjoy these.
My buddy Amanda over at Moving Forward tagged me to do 6 Degrees of Randomness. Now I already did this on my Lily's Licorice blog - you can read my 6 Degrees there. But it got me to thinking that I should do something on that order here. So here are my 6 Random Favorite Foods of All Time. I guess it says "random", but I actually put it in order to what I really love the most. #1 being my all time favorite.
6 Favorite Foods
1. Filet Mignon - nothing can make a finer meal than a good Filet Mignon!! Especially with a loaded baked potato. Now my nutty sister puts ketchup on hers. Can you believe that!!
2. My grandmother's chocolate chip cake - the best part of our birthdays as a kid were the fancy chocolate chip cakes my grandmother made for us. Chocolate chip cake for breakfast was always the best! Unfortunately I cannot make those cakes like my grandma did, but even in a memory, they are my second favorite. Ooo - how I'd love a piece right now, and with a nice cold glass of milk.
3. Lou Malnati's Pizza - people who know me will be shocked that this is not #1. However, in terms of pizza - Lou Malnati's is #1. It's the dough, and the cheese, and they sauce. It's everything! My mouth just waters looking at the picture on the link.
4. Italian Beef Sandwiches - you can only find good ones in Chicago. My mom used to get ours from Rex's. Mm Mm. It was a staple at Christmas Eve dinner too. Now I'm trying to find the perfect recipe so I can make it myself. They don't have real Italian Beef down here in the south.
5. My mom's cheeseburgers - here's the post I did on them already.
6. Chicken Kiev AND Chicken Croquets - not sure which I like better. All that coated chicken slathered in butter or the sauce is just too good. I remember my mom getting frozen Chicken Croquets at the Howard Johnson restaurant after church some Sundays. They were really good. They don't exist anymore, so I make them from the recipe out of the Fannie Farmer cookbook. Yum! Those are way better than the frozen Howard Johnson ones.
So what are your 6 favorite foods?
