As much as we love food it’s hard to imagine that we were once super-picky kids who didn’t ever want to stop playing to come in and eat! In fact there was only one thing our mom could be guaranteed we’d eat without a complaint…Peanut butter and Jelly. Yup, that’s what we “liked in our belly”. We even sang that silly song all of the time—our poor mom…She’s a saint! 🙂 In honor of the only food that helped to make our mom’s life a bit easier (and in honor of the food so many people love), we want to celebrate National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day which was this past week. Here, we have a slightly different and healthy PB & J twist! Enjoy!
