As I was roasting eggplant for our dinner last night, I made sure to reserve some of the roasted vegetable for my lunch today.
Eggplant + Marinara
My mid-day meal included the eggplant in a noodle bowl featuring Carba Nada egg fettuccine with marinara sauce and fresh spinach.
Noodle Bowl
Thursday's Lunch!
I used to eat noodle bowls several times a week… What happened? I love these guys! I think they may be making a comeback soon…
Krema & Crazy Richards Peanut Butter Giveaway
Could there be a more appropriate giveaway for this blog???
As demonstrated by the multiple peanut butter fingers of Krema peanut butter I enjoyed this morning, I am quite a fan of Krema and Crazy Richards peanut butter. Both varieties are all-natural with only one ingredient: peanuts!
Exhibit A
Sch-weet, huh?
Not only are these peanut butters good by the spoonful (or fingerful 😉 ) but I’ve also used them in smoothies, sandwiches, and peanut butter stuffed French toast with tasty results.
Now it’s your turn to enjoy your own peanut butter fingers full of this creamy goodness!
The wonderful people at Krema/Crazy Richards Peanut Butter Company have agreed to send three winners a jar of creamy peanut butter and a jar of crunchy peanut butter. Two jars! Woohoo!
To enter this giveaway, please comment telling me about your favorite way to enjoy peanut butter.
(And yes, in a Reese’s peanut butter cup is an acceptable answer. 😉 )
Using Random.org, I will randomly select three winners tomorrow afternoon.

Any variety of fruits (bananas!!) and vegetables (carrots!), chocolate, spoons, fingers, pretzels, sandwiches, etc.
I even tried peanut butter & pickles one time. (Not a taste sensation, but not as horrible as it may sound.)
[Also, interesting note. I was reading an issue of Glamour magazine a couple of months ago, and there was a poll of how many [glamour readers] had eaten Peanut Butter straight from the jar. In my world, this is the silliest question I’d ever heard. I assumed EVERYONE had done this at one point or another. But the poll results? ONLY 68%! A tragedy!]
