FUNKY PBO-OF SANDWICH (PEANUT BUTTER AND OLIVE)
As strange as this sandwich sounds, I grew up on them. It's hard to describe the flavor combination but they knock the socks off a traditional PBJ IMHO. You may use 2 slices of bread if you like but for some reason they taste better to me open faced. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Spread the peanut butter on 4 slices of bread and the raspberry preserves on the other 4 slices. Add the bananas and a nice pile of chips on top of the peanut butter slices; sandwich with the raspberry preserve slices.
- Place the eggs and cereal in separate shallow bowls. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip a sandwich in the eggs, then the cinnamon cereal, pressing down to make sure the cereal adheres to both sides. Repeat with the other sandwiches.
- In batches, fry the sandwiches low and slow until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve.
FUNKY CHICKEN SANDWICH
A delicious chicken sandwich, adapted from our favorite local restaurant, No Frill Grill in Norfolk, Virginia. My husband loves to eat it when we go to the restaurant, so I decided to make my own version. (The original calls for Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing and swiss cheese)

PEANUT BUTTER AND PICKLE SANDWICH
This sandwich does not necessarily need a recipe, given its simplicity. But it's an unlikely pairing, is peanut butter and pickle, and sometimes that is what a recipe is for -- to prod you in a direction that you never considered. Dwight Garner, a book critic for The Times, makes a strong case for this, his favorite sandwich, calling it "a thrifty and unacknowledged American classic." The vinegary snap of the pickles tempers the unctuousness of the peanut butter, and it's an unusual pantry sandwich for when luncheon meats leave you cold.

BETTER PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH
This is a great version of your basic peanut butter sandwich! Applesauce is used in place of jelly. Kids love it, and it has less sugar than regular jelly so it is much better for you.
