You guys, it's National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Yes, you read that right. The day adults and kids alike can enjoy because, lets be honest, who doesn't love PB&J?

Growing up, PB&J was a staple in my house. It was packed for lunch as a kid, and I think I actually craved it more as I got older. The comfort of the salty peanut butter mixed with sweet jelly, nothing really compares. So, clearly, today is a day to celebrate! And what better way to do that than with a roundup of some of the most delicious and mostly non-traditional PB&J recipes I could find courtesy of some of my favorite blogging babes!
