It’s no secret. I love peanut butter. I always have and always will. My tastes have changed over the years. I’m a tried-and-true crunchy gal, but once upon a time I had an affinity for creamy. I love it in all forms. In sandwiches, topping oatmeal, in ice cream, candy or heck…it’s perfect by the [...]
Breakfast today was salty. I am at the very bottom of my sunflower seed butter jar and was taken back by the potent flavor of the last few bites. I added some sweetness with honey, Crofter’s Europe Superfruit Spread, banana and homemade gingersnap granola.~3/4 (last of my container) plain Chobani Greek yogurt, 1 TBS chia [...]
Yesterday was simply amaizeing. Yes, I know that I am spelling “amazing” wrong. After work, a few of my coworkers and I did something WILD and CRAZY. We went to a corn maze. It was actually called, “The Amazing Maize Maze.” 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 [...]

Tempeh Waldorf Salad Bear with me this is WAY better tasting than it appears. I’ve never featured this combination on my blog before but it is one of my favorites. I usually throw it on top of a quick boring salad but it also makes for one heck of a sandwich. What is it you [...]
Growing up, whenever I ordered an ice cream sundae I would always make sure to request “a cherry on top.” It did not matter that ice cream sundaes typically come with a cherry, I felt the need to ensure that mine always had one. There is something about the charming single cherry sitting on a [...]
I’ve never actually been hit by a bus, however; I woke up this morning feeling like I had. I could not fall asleep last night until sometime between 2:30 and 3am. I am estimating this time frame because I recall seeing the clock at 2:15am and then woke up sprawled out on my futon at [...]
It took me approximately 8 years to finish my breakfast this morning. Oat bran my friends, is not for the faint of heart. In my oversize cappuccino mug: 1/4 cup oat bran, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 banana, 1 TBS chia seeds, 1 cup (plus ~1/3 cup added after stirring and cooking) water, cinnamon and [...]
Saturday was my last day working at the bakery. This job has been one of the best experiences of my life and has influenced me to pursue a career in the food industry.
