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. You are in fantastic shape! It seems like cutting sugar out with I am trying to shape up works best for me, So I try to stay away from the peanut butter :)

    I say national sushi lover’s day is in order!

  2. Wow, for a mom with a kid, you’re surely in such a good shape :D
    Just wonder, and I’m sure lots ppl asked you before…are you planning to have another child?

    I love super chunky PB and today I did Bodyrock.tv Halo of sweat workout, beating my old scores for most of it

  3. i would like to start my very own blog eventually. this was a really nice blog that you simply made here

  4. I didn’t do anything to celebrate, I may need a delayed celebration though. :-) Awesome quick workouts, I’m looking forward to throttling back a bit when half training is over.

    1. Yes using our home gym and watching the SF episode of Bizarre Foods which was really good.
    2. Yes, but I tend to be more of an almond butter/tahini gal lately.
    3. Raw food day I think, everyone eats 100% raw to celebrate.

  5. Can you get any hotter?! Seriously your body is off the hook ; ) LOVE those pants!!!!!

    Thanks for the sweet comment at my blog love! : )

    I did not celebrate PB day, I had almond butter, does that count?!

    Mwah! <3 xoxo

    1. lol thanks hon! they are the one and only pair of pants i own from Lulu. You have good taste and can spot the good stuff a mile away, can’t you! :)

  6. I would want kale day or chia seed day. Obsessed with both! I like peanut butter, but I might like coconut butter though :)

  7. chocolate holiday or pancake holiday–if given the chance :) i also love peanut butter especially on a warm bread … yum :)

  8. Girl yous a hottie with a body!

    Slash national peanut butter day is my favorite holiday of all. time.

  9. oooh national pb day gives me an excuse to eat lots of peanut butter! those special k bars look amazing btw :)

  10. ha! weird. i totally made a peanut butter banana cake yesterday! i was craving peanut butter like it was nobody’s business…it (peanut butter) was a constant thought. ALL. DAY.

    <3

  11. Happy Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! Its funny, because I put a generous scoop of the Dark Chocolate Dreams pb (that you pictured above) in my oatmeal this morning with a banana. HEAVEN. I pretty much live off of peanut butter.

    I won’t be working out until later today, where I’m going to Urban Active with a friend. We’ll probably do an hour or so.

    My holiday would be National Picnic Day. I love picnicing! and hosting them. It would also be something that everyone could get involved in. The tradition would turn into discovering unique places to share a meal with your family and friends.

    By the way, I’m a fan of all your ideas as well. Especially let’s live at the beach and chocoholics. :)

  12. of course I love PB! althought to be honest with this contest prep i havent been having that much ut butter and I find that its much easier to miss it when you are not having it everyday LOL BUT when i do love it and crave it and want it, I like the old fashioned real stuff from whole foods that you just grind yourself OR teddie PB thats just peanuts and salt!! the PB and co stuff is delicious but much prefer it in recipes :) (like ALL of yours!!)

  13. I am ADDICTED to PB & Co’s Mighty Maple…I celebrated yesterday w/ several spoonfuls!

  14. I am a day behind but yes workout is done.
    I absolutely love peanut butter – any kind and any flavor. YUMMY for My TUMMY.
    My favorite is Naturally More PB w/Flax.
    Darnit I missed National PB Day Lover’s Day. If I would have lurked yesterday I would have known – But to much distress I had a busy day at work.
    Ah well I will celebrate today and spoons up with a taste.
    I could do a —– National Home Made Hummus Day
