Janelle of Brown Bag Blues asked me to share a variation on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich that my kids enjoy eating. This recipe is inspired by a bagel at one of my favorite cafes.
THAI-STYLE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH
On a toasted, halved whole wheat bagel (or wheat toast) spread a layer of creamy peanut butter. Then top that with chopped salted peanuts. (You could use chunky peanut butter but this method is waaay better.)
Then, top the peanut-y peanut butter bagel with:
- thin slices of red onion
- thin slices of cucumber
- a Thai or regular basil leaf
Dig in!
Honestly? It doesn't sound good to me BUT since it's a recipe coming from you, I'm gonna try it. My kids are big huge nut fans and this include any nut butters as well...they love onions and cucumbers too so what the heck, I will give it a go.
PS-I still haven't sent you my bean recipe...I will, I'm still in my lazy rut.

alrightie, i'm a really bad late night snacker...i start to crave something by 9pm and can't get it out of my head so i usually give in. lucky for me i'm not on a diet or anything.
for some reason i was craving this sandwich (i never would have thought i'd crave one) so, i just made myself one (with only one slice of bread cut in two) and it ROCKS!
i'm sure the basil is important but i don't like basil so i used arugula instead and it was still really really good. i have found my newest recipe to kill...i will be making these for the next couple of weeks until everyone is so sick of them in my family. yum yum thanks again.

Porter, I KNOW! When I first saw the ingredients on the menu, I thought, huh? But it was soooo good. I make it often.
