OK, my apologies in advance. This one is going to bore half of my reading audience. So, to the other 3 of you, I have a great tip!!! I think I've mentioned before how much I dislike packing school lunches. My mom has said this to me as well, (bear in mind she had 5 lunches to pack every night for years), so it must be a genetic thing. I wish I had inherited her love for ironing instead. ANYWAYS...
YOU CAN FREEZE PB&J SANDWICHES! My friend Ann from the mommysecrets blog gave this tip the other day. I can spend a few minutes making enough sandwiches to last a couple weeks, then put them in baggies and into the freezer. Pull one out each morning and it defrosts and is ready to eat by lunchtime.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Q: Ellen, that sounds like it would be soggy. Is it soggy?

A: Oh, I thought it would be too! I was so very mistaken. Skeptic that I am, I tried it myself before making John succumb to a soggy sandwich and it was just delightful.
2. Q: Ellen, how long does it take you to make these sandwiches? Is it really timesaving?

A: Yes, it is really timesaving. I spend 20 minutes one night and I can easily make enough sandwiches to last 2 weeks or so. I make the same mess whether I make one PB&J or whether I make 20 PB&J's, so I am saving time on the end as well.
3. Q: Ellen, you're just wonderful. How do you do it all?

A: Thank you. It's a gift. That's all. Just a gift.

I have loved Shannon Truss for first sharing this tip with me a few years ago. Like you, I thought she was crazy 'til I tried it. Now I know she's brilliant! :)
I need to add your name into my email address book - will you send it to me at annsaylor(at)gmail(dot)com?
