Alternative Pb&j

Healthier, more texturally satisfying, and equally delicious than the traditional PB&J. Really, not that innovative when you think about it--hummus is made of chickpeas, tahini OR peanut butter, garlic... using that as a kind of replacement for the PB&J, and you get deliciousness. Inspired by college campus dining choices (which include salad bars with containers of sauces, legumes, etc.).
