almond butter and jam sandwich

Meet PB & J’s less popular cousin: AB & J. I haven’t bought peanut butter in something like a year, but suddenly I’m smitten with salted almond butter. I’ve had this sandwich almost daily (sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for a snack) for the past two weeks. I’ve been using apricot jam, but I think I’m going to switch to seedy strawberry preserves soon. A double layer of almond butter (one on each slice of bread) keeps the preserves/jam from soaking through the bread in cases of extended storage (i.e. morning until lunch). Ah, simple pleasures.
