Now that you’re an adult, you’re too old to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ok? You’re more sophisticated than that. You drink wine now – out of a box, but still. Wine. That’s so sophisticated.
Fortunately, even though you’re an adult, you don’t have to completely relinquish your PB&J-filled past. Adultify this childhood treat by combining PB&J and banana bread (a super sophisticated, adult-ish food).
