National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!

What better way to start the day than with some peanut butter and jelly day?

April 2 is Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. The beauty of this combination is that it can be a breakfast item, a lunch item, or a snack. 

The combination works on French toast and pancakes too. 

And, who can forget about Elvis Presley enjoying his peanut butter and banana sandwich? Okay… he didn’t add jelly, but that doesn’t mean that you should omit your favorite jelly flavor. Serious Eats provided an upscale peanut butter sandwich

How did it all get started? In 1901 Boston Writer, Julia Davis Chandler wrote about pairing peanut butter with jelly on bread. Since then, it has been a hit among children and adults. 

You can even turn them into lovely tea-sandwiches
