Lunch Time Perfection – A Tutorial

I received a lot of positive feedback from my “Walk With Me” blog post so here is another installment. Instead of walking, we’re eating. And instead of idly standing by and watching, you can participate. Follow these easy steps to the best in brown bag lunching.

Start with your basic ingredients. This is really all you need to have the top of the tops.

The first step is pretty freaking easy. Just slap two slices of bread on your napkin or plate. Go with wheat. Don’t skimp here. Don’t even fool around with wonderbread.

Then slap some peanut butter on BOTH pieces. I like Teddie brand. Unsalted, crunchy or smooth is fine by me. My recommendation is to spread a lot of peanut butter on one and just a little bit on the other piece. It’s important to have peanut butter on both slices in order to seal the next ingredient in place. You don’t want these bad boys sliding around.

Now peel that banana.

And cut in half.

Then cut those halves lengthwise. Now you’ve got quarters.

Then place the banana quarters on one slice of bread. Make sure to squeeze them all on there. Spoon them in nice and tight.

Press those slices together…

… And you’ve got yourself a freaking sandwich!

Add that Cherry Coke Zero, and go to town. One of my favorite lunches. Get into it.
