Peanut Buttery Breakfast

This morning I woke up craving a warm and toasty breakfast. I think the doughy bread from Ryan’s enormous sandwich last night left me wanting more wholesome goodness, so I decided a bagel would be the base of my morning meal.

Alternative Sweet Wheat Bagels

I first toasted a Western Bagel Alternative Sweet Wheat bagel before determining what spread I wanted to use to top the warm breakfast bread.

My love of peanut butter kicked in, but we’re currently out of the nutty spread, so I opted for my powdered peanut butter favorite, PB2 as the bagel topper.

First I scooped two tablespoons of the powder into a cup and added a bit of water and stirred until the consistency resembled real peanut butter.

I spread it on the bagel halves and topped them with sliced almonds for that crunch I adore.

I then poured myself a hot cup of Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice tea and my breakfast was complete!

A Yummy Tuesday Breakfast

This was a great post-run meal. I always love whole grains after a good run. They fill me right up!

Friday Fun: Awkward Conversation and Fiber One

Hoooooray for Friday! To get your day started with something beautiful, here’s a picture of a lovely lil’ flower I saw on my morning walk with Sadie:

And here’s the pretty lady herself:

My Little Love

I love everything about Fridays… even the wonderfully awkward elevator conversation with a stranger on the way into work:

Me: Good morning!

Stranger: ‘Morning. (with a yawn)

Me: Tired?

Stranger: (sigh) Yeah.

Me: At least it’s Friday.

Stranger: You got that right. Thank goodness.

(elevator doors open and awkward conversation ceases)

I think it’s the anticipation of a fun-filled weekend that most excites me. Ryan, Sadie and I are heading to see my family after work today and I can’t wait for some quality time together.

I was doubly excited to wake up today because I knew I had a yummy breakfast waiting to be inhaled after my workout.

Fiber One Bar and Greek Yogurt

The Fiber One bar was one of the free samples I received in the mail yesterday and was an ooey-gooey sweet and chocolatey delight.

Check Out those Chippies!

I ate half before crumbling the remaining bar and topping my Greek yogurt with the chewy goodness.

Greek Yogurt Topped with a Fiber One Bar

I love granola bars but don’t usually buy them because I never seem to be satisfied with one. I want to eat five. Maybe six. They’re kinda like cookies in that way.

Happy Weekend Eve everyone!

Question: Is there anything you love but rarely buy because you know you can’t stop at just one portion?

My top five would be: Cheez-its, Nestle Dibs, white cheddar popcorn, peanut butter M&Ms and most sugary cereals.
