COMMENT

  • 30 minutes for a PB&J? At that rate, I'd definitely make my own bread too.

  • The recipe makes more sense than any of these comments.

  • Where do ingredients #8 & #9 go?

  • Shoot, I can't make this and I really really wanted to! I'm recipe dependent, and this one is missing a step. Egads! Gasp! Help! I know where the PB & strawberry jam goes, but where oh where, does the strawberry jelly go?!!

  • The title should read partially homemade PB&J recipe. And, life's too short.

  • peanut butter does not need sugar!

  • Come on, you need to make the bread from scratch too!

  • To make the bread, get out the flour, right? if you are going to go to this much trouble with the PB and J, you MUST use freshly baked bread!
