Making a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
Introduction
If you're unaware, a PB&J (peanut butter and jelly [sandwich]) is a two pieces of bread with peanut butter spread on one side of a slice of bread, and jelly on another piece. It offers protein (varies depending on how much peanut butter you put on it) and also gives 20% of the recommended daily Vitamin E intake.

Preparing the Ingredients
Preparing the ingredients to make a PB&J is quite simple. All you need is 2 slices of bread and a sufficient amount of peanut butter and jelly (or jam) for the bread. If you don't have these ingredients you can either go to a nearby grocery store or shop online from a place like Amazon.
Acquiring Proper Utensils
The utensils you will need are as follows:
- 1 Plate
- 1 Butter Knife (or any other knives of your choice)
- NOTE: A sharp knife is not necessary. In fact, anything that can spread the peanut butter and jelly onto the bread will work just fine.
You can also get those online or from a local grocery store.
Making the Sandwich
First Step
Put the two slices of bread flat on your plate and open both the peanut butter and jelly jars. Take your knife (or other obscure utensil you have decided on using), put it in the peanut butter jar, and get some peanut butter on the utensil. Next, spread it evenly on one slice of bread, only on one side.
Second Step
Get the remaining peanut butter off of the utensil either by wiping it onto the other slice of bread or onto a napkin. Once the utensil is clean again, dip it into the jelly/jam jar and repeat the same process onto the other slice of bread.
Optional Sides
Depending on who you are, you will like different side dishes with your completed PB&J sandwich (if any at all). Some people like chips, others like fruits, and some eat it with spaghetti or other miscellaneous pastas. It entirely depends on who you are, and this is up to you. Looking around your kitchen/house for various foods or edible objects can help inspire you with ideas.
Enjoying the Meal
You're finally completed with the extraneous process of making a PB&J! All you have to do now is eat and enjoy it.
