Snack-Filled Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Peanut butter on one slice of bread
Jelly on the other slice

Fill with any of the following:

• Lay's Potato Chips (Regular, Sour Cream & Onion, Bar-B-Que, or Cheddar seem to be the best!)
• Pringles (I am only fond of the regular)
• Golden Grahams Cereal
• Cocoa Puffs Cereal
• Sugar Smacks Cereal
• Nestle Flipz Chocolate Covered Pretzels
• Funyuns

Preface: Yoo-hoo!, not to be confused with Yahoo (slight difference in stock prices), is not very good at all. Nesquik is a much better a chocolate milk, probably because it actually contains milk. I actually tasted Yoo-hoo for the first time today, and thought it was disgusting. Tasted like chocolate flavored water. Anyway, I thought of mixing it with Adirondack lemon seltzer water (the last can of it in the company soda fridge, making it all the sweeter).

Ingredients: Take two parts Adirondack lemon seltzer water to one part YooHoo! chocolate drink stuff. Add the Yoohoo! to the seltzer. The other way around could cause a dangerous chemical reaction.

Taste: Yoohoolicious. It was really, really good. Like a cream soda.

Keith’s bologna, ketchup and Pringles sandwich

This recipe was invented when I was 8 years old and visiting my grandmother in Scotia, N.Y. Call it the beginnings of some weird eating habits:

Ingredients: Sunbeam or Wonder Bread (two slices); Oscar Meyer beef bologna (you know, the one with the song, "my baloney has a first name..."); ketchup; about five or six regular flavored Pringles.

Step 1: Put one slice of bologna on each slice of bread.

Step 2: Add ketchup, either in a smiley face pattern or just swirl.

Step 3: Crush Pringles in your fists, sprinkle on top of each half.

Step 4: Very carefully flip over one half to finish the sandwich

Step 5: Do not cut the sandwich -- eat it whole.

Step 6: Eat sandwich with a glass of regular Pepsi.

Keith's peanut butter and Cocoa Puffs sandwich on toast

OK, this one was another one I invented as a lad, though I was a little older. Trust me on this, it's a great sandwich.

Ingredients: Two pieces of white bread (wheat bread is OK if you want some kind of healthy part of it); peanut butter (enough to cover both sides of bread); handful of Cocoa Puffs cereal (I think the new Nesquik cereal would work, though I haven't tried it yet).

Step 1: Put bread in toaster — toast to taste.

Step 2: Spread peanut butter on both halves of toast.

Step 3: Do not crush Cocoa puffs — rather, sprinkle them on the sandwich. Always use whole puffs — never the broken ones or the powder at the bottom of the box.

Step 4: This is the tricky part — flip over one half onto the other one without letting the Cocoa Puffs spill.

Step 5: Push down enough so the Cocoa Puffs stick to the peanut butter.

Step 6: Do not cut the sandwich — eat it whole. The key is to try to get a Cocoa Puff in each bite.

The appeal of this sandwich is the combination of the chocolate and peanut butter — it's what makes Reese's peanut butter cups so good. And remember to toast — it's not as good on regular bread. Finally, don't try this with Trix.

Jim's peanut butter tortilla chips

I was really starving, so I had to enter the TechTarget.com kitchen and look for food. Initially, the only two things I could find, as far as substantial food, were tortilla chips and Skippy peanut butter. I decided to pour a bowl of chips and put a couple of scoops of peanut butter in it. I was not surprised to find out it was surprisingly good. I can't describe the taste. It's just good. Peanut butter goes with just about anything, and so do chips. I often put them in my sandwiches or my salads.

Note: Do not eat without a can of Fresca handy.

Rob's method for preparing a Trader Joe's Chicken, Bean and Rice Burrito

Step 1: Ignore the directions on the package

Step 2: Place an unwrapped burrito on a microwave-safe plate

Step 3: Heat in microwave, on high for between 1 min. 45 sec. and 1 min. 55 sec.

Step 4: Remove the plate (and therefore the burrito) from the microwave and liberally mound your favorite shredded cheese on top.

Step 5: Heat in the microwave, on high, for another 30 sec. or until the cheese is melted to your satisfaction.

Step 6: Pour a liberal amount of Newman's Hot Salsa over the top and place a liberal dollop of sour cream on the side

Step 7: Enjoy!

Jeremy's peanut butter and jelly

Ingredients: Two slices of white bread (preferably something like Arnold's, not some fluffy kind like Wonder Bread); Skippy crunchy peanut butter; your favorite jelly or jam.

Step 1: Toast the bread.

Step 2: Spread the peanut butter on one side, add the jelly to the other side.

Step 3: Cut the sandwich into quarters. First, make a horizontal cut, and then a vertical cut, so that you get four square pieces. (DO NOT make any diagonal cuts; this will ruin the sandwich.)
