peanut butter

A FODMAPs friendly “what I ate” day

Breakfast Udi’s mighty bagel with organic peanut butter and a fried egg.  I had the second half of the bagel a couple hours later.  Also with PB PB. I’m seriously obsessed with these bagels.  They are so hearty and full of seeds and whole grains, you’d never know they are wheat and gluten free.  Definitely the best GF baked good I’ve tried so far.  What sets it apart though, is the fact that it actually tastes like a bagel.  Not eggy bread.  Not nutrient devoid buns.  Not cardboard crap.  Real ingredients!  I can SEE the… Read more >

Outside eating weekend

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it.  Lots of outdoor time!   Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing.  Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar.   I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >

Mother’s Day weekend

What an amazing weekend.  Not just because I got showered with love.  With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats.  Man, it’s been a while since I made these!  I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter.  Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

A 2 hour lunch

I don’t want to sound like a whiner, but DAYAM, being a mom is hard work. I always thought I knew this, but when Kyle was out of town I really realized it.  For real.  Trying to be productive during those 5 days was a joke.  I gave up after the first day.  So much for finishing moving in (I had wanted to surprise Kyle by having the house all done when he returned from his trip).  But how realistic is vacuuming and hammering the art up on the wall during P’s limited napping time? … Read more >

PB PB spread

Whoa. I mentioned I was in a “nut rut” last week, and it’s only been increasing thanks to this new kind of peanut butter. Pacific Beach Peanut Butter offered to send me some samples and I figured it would be the perfect thing to greet me as I arrived in Nor Cal.  The timing was awesome and I had a lovely package (with the 3 nut butters you see above) waiting for me after the long drive up the I-5. Let me tell you.  When you can’t be bothered to put together a “real” meal… Read more >
