Not Messy PB n J

Gabbypita1

Confession:  I don’t buy loaf bread.  Honestly, I don’t remember the last time I did.  I found out this little secret that *helps minimize mess when eating a sandwich.  I use pita breads.  I usually buy them 4-5 packs at a time and always go with the whole wheat or whole grain.  I stick all but 1 pack in the freezer, so I never run out and they don’t go bad.  I also found Joseph’s Flax Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread for my diet.  It’s 60 calories,  2g fat, 8g carbs, 4 dietary fiber,and 6g protein, for an entire pita!

The kids lunch today was quick, easy and very little mess.  Peanut butter and jelly in a pita.  I had to pull a pack of pita’s out the freezer, so I warmed them for a few seconds in the microwave and cut them in half.  Filled them with peanut butter and jelly(we were out of bananas or I would have added sliced bananas) and popped pop corn.  For Gabby’s school, I stuff them with lunch meat, cheese and pickles.  Not that I would recommend it… but they can also be easy to eat while driving.  Scrambled eggs with 1/2 pita is quite a delicious breakfast:)
