spacepup | 2,412 Administrator · Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I suppose either would work, but I meant grilled like grilled cheese on a pan. I guess it sorta worked like the toaster strudel concept, but omg it was delicious. The peanut butter had a softer consistency and combined with the jam was nice and warm and smooth, and it was sooooooooooooooo good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of pb&j are you referring to when you say “less processed”like you’re jaring your own jam from your garden?

To legitimately answer your question - there are multiple layers and levels of processing. Obviously the individual products you buy at the store are processed - containers of peanut butter, jelly, loaves of bread. But then another product that combines multiple other products together is typically even *more* processed - going through a more complex manufacturing, preservative, and distribution process. These two examples may be similar enough that it doesn't make a huge difference, but the loaf of bread you get at the store has a freshness date that actually isn't too far off - it is more 'fresh' and slightly more natural than whatever bread concoction is made for a package like the uncrustable sandwich. Almost all of us use processed foods in our daily lives and that doesn't make anyone bad - but I know that I've tried to reduce this amount as much as possible, and whether it's in my head or not, I enjoy the taste of more fresh food, and also feel it is better for me. Then, within the individual product categories, there are absolutely more natural versions of things like, say, peanut butter. I tend to like the ones that have more natural ingredients and less random chemicals and preservatives just to make things sit in shelves longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I found out "fresh spinach" is a thing and I absolutely love it hah We're definitely getting on a tangent, but my entire life, I've loved just about every fresh uncooked vegetable I've been given. I LOVED salad too. But when you cook carrots or spinach, I'm out. I do like some cooked vegetables (corn, for instance, and stewed tomatoes or in a sauce is great) but that's my crunchy side--vegetables are meant to be eaten raw man... eat them raw and packed full of life! A good trick for dealing with the canned stuff is: mix it into some ground chicken along with onion, garlic, bread crumbs and an egg. Make meatballs. Fry 'em up. Make a basic white sauce. Add white wine to white sauce. Top meatballs and serve over rice or noodles. Great way to change up your spinach game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,412 Administrator · Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Sorry for derailing a bit with my health and nutrition stuff - that is best for another thread. People came here for cereals! Another I remember as a kid was Golden Grahams. I really liked that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pub that makes this and it's fucking amazing!! We have a gastropub that's about 30 minutes from us that offers a burger like this (but with bacon too, of course.) Called The Elvis Burger for obvious reasons. That is also a burger my wife often gets. One more side not about that and my son. Before we found out about his allergy, my wife though PB was good, but she didn't love/obsess over it. It wasn't until it was practically banned from the that she became the aficionado that she is.

From what I recall an "Apple Jack" is more like a pocket apple pie, which is what I think the cereal was named after. When we were kids the commercials doubled down on the whole "why is it called apple jacks if it doesn't taste like apples?" The reason is because it does have a semi-fruity taste (that is apple like) with a dash of cinnamon... like an actual Apple Jack. I haven't had Apple Jacks in probably 4-5 years, and I probably last got them at a continental breakfast in a hotel. They were still alright. It's less of a breakfast meal to me, though, and more of an item I'd want to grab a box of and snack on while watching a movie. (Man, I can eat like real trash.)

Link | 2,735 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Alright yo, I did it @spacepup I went to another store for something else and I saw jelly there and seized on it. I also saw these chips, which Is what we usually got when I was a kid and I never see this brand around here. Grape jelly and natural peanut butter (no sugar, molasses, or stabilizers) I like it In my cast iron pan With a glass of oat milk, which I don't usually do, but if I'm doing PBJ special, why not take it like back in the day. I just so happen to have what I call "gas station bread" right now which is a rarity, but it was free. In the same spirit as the milk and the chips, I used that. It was good, but next time I will use the sourdough I typically get. With the amount of pb & j I put in there, it was sort of falling apart at the end. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
