Trying to sneak into the food blogging world...

My work snack.

I finally found Peanut Butter & Co! (The health food section at Hy-Vee.) I chose the Dark Chocolate Dreams, because as much as I love white chocolate, the White Chocolate Wonderful does not appeal to me as a peanut butter option. So, true opinion here: I love peanut butter. And I freaking love chocolate. Together, as in a Reese's Pieces, it's my favorite taste combination ever. But this? After weeks of searching for it and seeing it on countless blogs, I was a little let-down. I much prefer the standard peanut butter taste with my fruit. I'm looking forward to using it other ways (with oatmeal, etc.), but as of right now, I'm a little let down. Oh well, it's not horrible.

I've slowly been collecting recipes and health tips from blogs the past few months, and I'm trying out my first one...Oats in a Jar! The idea is to take jars of peanut butter (or other nut spreads) and use the almost empty jar as a way to eat your oatmeal. This way, you can use up the stuff sticking to the sides of the jar, and also not have to wash a dish!

My OIAJ.

Mine was plain oats, a splash of almond milk, sliced banana, and some cacao nibs sprinkled on top. Very tasty! Only downside is that I wasn't planning on doing this until I was mostly through with my jar of Skippy Natural, so there isn't much left in the jar. =/ Boo.

 Oh...and OIAJ for dinner? Well, I woke up this morning around 5:30 with horrible stomach pains, and debating going into work because I felt so sick. I cowboy'd up and went in, but nothing has really sounded good all day. I managed to choke down a couple bananas and some green tea once I got to work, and then splurged a little and got some tomato basil soup from Jason's Deli. Tonight, oatmeal was the only thing that really sounded good. I also am planning Food Blog Staple #3 tonight and attempting banana "soft serve" with my new food processor. We'll see how it goes!
