PB & Strawberry

So yes this is a late night post.. but this is the time I start to think about breakfast [yes I know it may be weird, but it what motivate me to sleep at night since I'm a bit of an insomniac]. Also, I am a huge advocate for eating breakfast. Even if it is something small, just make sure you eat breakfast to get your metabolism moving!

Anywho... My breakfast at school usually consists of cereal, fruit, juice, tea, and a water [I always wake up dehydrated for some reason...] This is a lot different than my breakfast at home which usually consists of toast, yogurt, iced coffee, and a water. While I was thinking about my cereal tomorrow morning, I realized that I did not get to eat my toast this weekend! This thought processed brought me all the way to thinking about jam [everything in my brain is loosely associated and I can switch topics very easily.. it's kind of scary in there].

Now I don't personally use jam on my toast, but a lot of my friends are fans of strawberry jam on their toast. I could never bring myself to deviate from my lightly buttered toast, but I did start replacing it in my PB&Js.

Traditionally peanut butter has been combined with jelly to make the all-American lunch time sandwich, but I think this needs an update. After consistently bringing PB&Js to lunch for the first 6-7 years of school, I swore I would never touch one again. This was until I discovered strawberry jam approximately 2 years ago [I know I'm a little late on the pickup]. It seemed a little weird at first, but my friend from home swears by PB&S so I had to try, and I was hooked.

Even though I said I would never touch PB&J again, I have occasionally crossed the line every now and then, but I do enjoy strawberry jam instead of jelly any day. If anyone has not tried this combination yet, I highly recommend it and would love to hear your comparisons of the PBJ to the PBS!
