AB&SFOM

&

Not to get all food obsessed on y'all, but when I have a new delightful treat...I think it only fair to share.

I've always had a "thing" for PB&J. I mean even as a kid I loved, loved, loved it. Nothing better than Peter Pan peanut butter and strawberry preserves on my Wonder Bread with a glass of ice cold 2% milk...or so I thought.

As I got older and a bit more health conscious, I traded out the white bread for wheat...and then still later for double fiber. I also traded out the regular peanut butter for the reduced fat. I became less particular on my "J" enjoying apricot, peach, raspberry...anything other than grape. Oh and the 2% milk became 1% and then landed on it's final resting place at skim.

Going all South Beach on myself, I made a couple more transitions. I changed over to almond butter (AB) and sugar free "jellies". I recently got bold and daring and tried Polaner's sugar free orange marmalade (SFOM) with added fiber. WOW! An AB&SFOM sandwich is like a party in my mouth. It's practically a dessert and I get to have it for breakfast a few times a week (best when made the night before and refrigerated overnight, by the way).
