Strange Twists
Having lived in several different areas of the United States as well as the world, I have been introduced to many different food specialties, novelties....
Raising three boys, I found myself constantly trying new ideas for lunch, breakfast and snack-time, to steer them from the need to emulate friends who thrived on Mickey-D's and Hardees.

Peanut Butter and Onion Sandwich

Most of you may be wrethching at the thought of it, but it's surprisingly very good! While I was stationed in Pensacola Florida going through AVT school I did not have my car and when I shopped at the local commissary I bought staples mostly, due to the small size of my dorm fridge. A typical day for me was returning to the BEQ at lunch, grabbing a PB&O sandwich and watching "Young and Restless" in the dayroom before returning to Class.

Ingredients:
2 Slices of White or Wheat Bread
Peanut Butter
Vidalia Onion

Preparation:
Spread Peanut Butter on bread top with Vidalia Slices. The Onions keep the PB from sticking to the roof of your mouth!

Pineapple Sandwiches (Sue's Sandwich)

My sister Sue, introduced me to the "Pineapple Sandwich" when I was a little girl. It's simple, and if you like Pineapple.....awesome!

2 Slices of White or Wheat Bread
Mayo
Fresh Pineapple Slices (You can use Canned Pineapple slices as well)

Spread mayo on bread slices top with drained or fresh pineapple.


Apple Sandwiches
There is something about Apples, Mayo....seems to be a compatible pair!

Ingredients:
Thinly sliced apples
Mayo
Raisin Cinnamon Bread

Spread Mayo on bread, layer apple Slices!

P B & DP (Peanut Butter and Dill Pickle)

Flashback from the past! The first time I heard of this concoction was from a childhood friend, who absolutely praised the marriage of Peanut Butter and Dill Pickles. She also liked Dill Pickles and Applesauce but it had to be "Chunky Applesauce! Eventually, I tried the PB & P and really thought it was pretty good! Another novelty.....like crushing chips on PB & J! Just spread Peanut Butter on two slices of bread, add Dill Pickle slices, and you have a PB & DP!
