On Wednesday when I admitted to having 7 jars of peanut butter on hand, I had NO idea that November is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month. How I did not know this is a mystery to me, and I am ashamed. I like to think that I have a special relationship with peanut butter. My [...]
Good Morning!! I’m in WAY too good of a mood for 8am on a mid-week day. I woke up today completely refreshed with nothing but oats on my mind! I’m seriously contemplating starting a club dedicated to oats. They are hearty, delicious, HEALTHY and so versatile. It is the one breakfast that I know will [...]
Happy Lick-Your-Almond-Butter-Jar-Clean Day Friday. Remember that almost empty jar I pictured yesterday? Well, I made sure to put it to good use today with Oats In a Jar!

I have also been having a constant internal struggle about whether I [...]
