Peanut Butter & Jam/ Jelly Sandwich, commonly known as PB & J is a very popular lunch box recipe in US. Here I used home made Strawberry Jam and home made Chocolate Peanut Butter. 

PB & J Sandwich

There are many variations of this recipe and I had given the details in the notes below. Since I don't want the sandwich to become soggy by lunch time, I used 3 slices of bread and spread the Jam & PB on separate slices.

Ingredients:

• Bread slices - 3 nos (I used Wheat Sandwich Bread)
• Peanut Butter  - Around 1 tbsp
• Strawberry Jam  - Around 1 tbsp 

Method: 

1. Trim off the crusty edges of the bread slices, If we prefer, we can also cut the bread into different shapes like star, flower using cookie cutters (This step is optional)
2. Spread the Strawberry Jam on one slice of bread
3. Spread the peanut butter on the other slice of the bread
   
4. Place the bread slice with Peanut butter over the slice with jam, with PB side facing up
   
5. Place the another bread slice (plain) over the PB side
   
6. Cut into half or into cubes and pack into lunch box
   

Notes: 

Few of the variations are given below:

• The original recipe for PB&J includes a layer of peanut butter and either jelly or jam on bread, commonly between two slices of bread, but sometimes eaten open-faced or with one slice folded over
• We can toast the bread slices with butter and then make sandwich
• We can roll them up to form PB&J Rolls
• French toast can also be used to make sandwich
