Freezer Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
I took about 30 minutes this Saturday morning while the kids were cleaning their rooms to make a slew of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the upcoming week. Armed with the confidence of freezer cooking many of our dinners for the upcoming month, I thought I’d go ahead and sneak in a few quick freezer cooking sessions like these easy PB&J sandwiches.
Amelia “helped mommy” make a total of 50 PB&Js for the freezer. Sweet Daniel is hanging out in the Moby Wrap as usual. 🙂 I really don’t mind you all seeing me with no make-up and a towel on my head. I was thrilled that I not only got a shower on this day, but I also managed to get my roots colored. It was a productive morning for the family!
My plan is to have a stack of these PB&Js standing ready in the fridge for a fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants lunch as needed, or a quick kid-friendly snack for whenever. Because. Life.
Now that I’m feeling like myself again after Daniel’s birth I’ll start sharing weekly videos on YouTube again. Please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel to support my efforts over there. I appreciate you!

What are your favorite freezer cooking recipes?
Do they get soggy at all? I have one who is a little picky with texture.
Rose, I was just telling another reading friend that no, I’ve never had mine get soggy. It may be because I use wheat bread. White bread may get soggy. I just make regular PBJs and haven’t had them (ever) get soggy. 🙂
I havent tried it but I thought I heard to put penutbutter on both pieces of bread first then jelly keeps bread from getting soggy (and I think that’s how the Smucker’s frozen sandwiches are).
You know I’ve never had any get soggy. I use Nature’s Own bread normally. I don’t even think I had name brand bread in this video, just whole wheat. I make the sandwiches as normal, freeze, and set out when we need them. 🙂
hi jamerill, will ham n cheese work sandwich freeze well?
What kind of storage bags do you use? Are they regular or freezer?
For the PBJs I just use regular plastic storage bags. We go through them so quickly. If they were frozen for several months at a time I would have to wrap them with foil and saran wrap I believe. xoxo
We make PB & J for our kids’ school lunches. We have an island in our kitchen and we make about 62 sandwiches every 2 weeks or so. We lay our bread out and put all the PB on one side and all the Jelly on the other side, and then put them together. We reuse potato salad containers from Sam’s Club, and can stack 6 sandwiches in them. Stick them in the freezer. We just pull them from the freezer in the morning and put them in the kids’ lunch containers (so we don’t waste baggies), and by the time the kids get to school their sandwiches are thawed to eat. Thought I would share my large family hack
