A Taste of Childhood: Butter Sugar Toast and More

Peanut butter jelly sandwiches probably is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to childhood sandwiches; however, my version of childhood sandwich is the butter sugar toast.

Sprinkle sugar on top of the melted butter

My night time snack last night -- Butter Sugar Toast

There is another variation to this toast -- which is the Peanut Butter Sugar Toast, simply replace butter with peanut butter.  It's delicious, but due to nut allergies, this has been banned from my household.


My colleague has given me permission to share her childhood sandwich --

Bread with Sweetened Condensed Milk

A slice of soft white bread
Drizzle sweetened condensed milk on the slice of bread


These are easy to make and importantly, every time I make butter sugar toast, it reminds me of my mother and how she used to make it for us when we were a kid.  The same for my colleague, when it comes to her bread with sweetened condensed milk -- it always reminds her of mom.
