These fun "sushi" rolls reinvent the classic PB&J sandwich. Lizzie Marie Likness uses almond butter instead of peanut butter because of what she calls “its amazing flavor” and serves the sandwich sushi style. Try to find "No-Stir" almond butter, which is a lot less messy than regular almond butter — the almond oil rises to the top of the jar and it’s hard to stir it back into the almond butter without making a mess. Likness prefers blackberry jam but encourages cooks to use their favorite flavor or experiment with new flavors, to use jam that is 100 percent all-natural fruit, and to use organic ingredients whenever possible. Watch a step-by-step video of this recipe.
