It's National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day!

In case you were unaware, April 2nd is National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day. Rumor has it this sandwich was invented by the soldiers during the war between the years of 1941 to 1945. The soldiers wanted to make the peanut butter a little more palatable; they combined the two items creating a sandwich that will forever be a staple in many households.

Traditional PB & J Sandwich
- 2 Slices of Bread (your choice of style)

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and spread the jelly on the other slice. Slap together. Boom.
