Three little tips to step up your PB&J game from 3 little figs

Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day — because what would any day be without celebrating one of our favorite foods? (Why not?) So we asked Porter Square’s 3 Little Figs owner Katie Rooney to give us three (little, but with big impact) tips to elevate our favorite childhood lunchtime sandwich.

1. When in doubt — add bacon! We have customers who ask for our Little Figgy (the almond butter, banana & honey sandwich) with our caramelized bacon on top. It adds an additional sinful layer.

2. Spice up your PB&J. Add cinnamon or nutmeg for some pizazz, or red pepper jelly for a kick! Also, peanut butter can be very — sophmoric. Elevate it with a delicious roasted nut or seed butter such as, almond, cashew, or sunflower.

3. Use artisan bread. A PB&J on a fluffy brioche or a seeded multigrain from your local bread bakery would totally rock.

Now sing it with us…
