Today is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day.  I am a peanut butter lover, that is for sure!  I have a whole post with Peanut Butter Recipes

Did you do anything to celebrate the holiday?  Julie and Janetha both mentioned the holiday.

I celebrated with a few spoonfuls of DCD that I reviewed here

And I ate my one-a-day Special K barYes, lately it’s been a one-a-day habit.  I like it.

Stacked Special K Bars

I mean, look at that peanut butter + brown sugar + Karo syrup.  That is heaven in my mouth.

If I had more time, I could have baked up a loaf of Peanut Butter Banana Bread (Vegan & GF)

Or made a batch of No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars (Vegan & GF)

If you missed my Peanut Butter Recipes Post, you may want to mosey on over to it and channel your inner peanut butter lover.

In other matters, it was a sunny day here and I took advantage of some of the great weather and got a 2 mile run in while pushing a 75 pound kid + jogging stroller combo into the wind and up hills.  Huff and puff much?

And then I came inside, did 20 minutes of  weight lifting moves and yoga moves.  With my 12 pound dumbbells and yoga mat.  Whatever comes to mind, that’s what I do.

I don’t have time or energy for more!  So far, it seems to be working for me and so no reason to change it up.

From my Cookbook Review & Free Cookbooks post from earlier, it was interesting to hear what you look for in a cookbook, and whether or not you make recipes from cookbooks, blogs, or improvise.  Most of you said you look for great pictures in a book (me too and many books lack this I’ve found), ease of preparation of the recipe, and commonly found ingredients.

  1. I will be getting a workout in in about 1 hour! And I’ve never been a huge PB fan, although I like it more now than I use to. And I think that my b-day should be a national holiday! :)

  2. If I were to make holidays out of my recent activities, there would be….

    -Sit Down and Discuss Life Lessons with a Friend into the Wee Hours of the Morning Day
    -“I’m not in an abusive relationship, these bruises are from rugby” Day
    -Green Monster Day
    and…My Shorts Don’t Fit Anymore but I’m Ok With It Day :)

  3. You are lookin HOT — and seriously, your new camera pictures make you look even better than before!

    I’m working out after work — the plan is 5 miles + lots of foam rolling, stretching afterward.

    I love the PB recipes — I had a few spoonfuls yesterday to celebrate as well! If I could make my own holiday it would be National Sweet Potato Day or National Margarita Day!

    1. Natl Marg Day…I can get on board with that.

      And thanks for the new cam/new pics compliment!

  4. those no-bake bars look unreal. totally up my alley. and, on a completely unrelated note, you look flippin’ hot, averie!!!

  5. You literally make me want to up and move to a warm, sunny climate!
