Happy Monday everyone!
Love, Cody
AND me!
I hope everyone had just as fabulous of a weekend as I did. In case you’re just catching up…
Celebrated some awesome birthdays, AND had a wonderful Date Night.

This morning, I was up nice and early to get my workout in, since I have a pretty busy day ahead of me. Seeing as though my hips and calves are still incredibly tight, I decided to take things easy with my favorite 45 minute treadmill walk. The time seemed to fly by, since I had the TV on in front of me and spent the duration of my walk catching up on the big news headlines today. All I can say is, wow.
Once I showered up, I came out to prep myself the breakfast I woke up craving this morning: A PB&J Buckwheat Bowl.
In the mix:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 mashed banana
- 1/4 creamy buckwheat cereal
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- cinnamon
- raisins
I topped it all off with some granola, PB2, and some of this jam, which was AWESOME.
Along with my PB&J Buckwheat, I sipped on a mug of Kona coffee with skim milk. I really love Kona coffee…especially from The Fresh Market.
And would ya check that out?? My daisies are still alive!
Well, I’m off to go tackle the day…let’s make it a great one!
Question for the Day:
How do you eat a peanut butter sandwich? Let’s see how much variety we can get here!

PB & J bowls are taking over and making me very hungry every time i see one! Yours looks so freakin’ good!!
Congrats on your first 10k!! What a wonderful experience. I love your bowl of oats, I need some buckwheat cereal asap!
I think I’ve only eaten one pb&j sammie in all my life and it was on ezekial bread, definitely nothing exciting. I need to start getting more creative
Tell Cody I say hi!
I’m pretty boring with PB, and usually have it with a little bit of strawberry jam on whole wheat bread. But once and a while I’ll throw in some apple slices, bananas, strawberries or nutella in there. Even better if it’s grilled.
One of the best PB sandwiches I’ve ever had included PB Company white chocolate PB with pretzels!!

Wow the bowl looks delicious! I love anything PB &J. You should make PB & J cupcakes. Bet they’d be amaaaze! Congrats again on the 10K – such an accomplishment
I like PB sandwiches grilled with bananas and honey. Yum!

You are such a little ray of sunshine! Have a great day, girl!
I eat peanut butter and tomato sandwiches! It sounds odd but it is so good!

Really?!?! Now that’s creative! I thought Jay’s was unique…he likes peanut butter and nacho cheese Doritos!
It looks like you told Cody to try really hard to look wide awake for a Monday morning!
PB & J with raspberry jelly is tried and true in my book

If I’m feeling savory, im all about the peanut butter and grated carrot combo. If sweet, peanut butter and banana toastie- warm & gooey! Peanut butter apple sandwiches are pretty sweet too ie peanut butter and Choc chips sandwiched between 2 apple discs! Man what’s pb not good with!

Toasted, usually on an english muffin, and sandwiched together. No jelly for this girl, but every once in a while, I’ll throw on some pumpkin butter
I like to keep it classic, just pb and j on whole wheat bread, cut diagonally of course! Congrats on the 10K, I think that’s one of the best distances to run, not short enough that you feel like you have to sprint the whole thing and not long enough to completely overwhelm you.
P.S. That creamy peanut butter is so drool worthy!
Just plain old peanut butter and jelly for me! Congrats on your race

I cut the crust off and eat that separately (first), then I nibble all around it until I’m left with one big bite in the middle where the PB and jelly (preferrably raspberry – with seeds!) all goop together. And of course, creamy PB > Crunchy!

I eat PB sandwiches on fluffy whole-wheat bread- it’s the best! I’m really weird and like to flatten each bite between my fingers though. No idea why, but I’ve always done that!

That pb&j bowl looks SO good. I need to get my hands on some buckwheat!
As for pb&j… I love it any and every way! Blackberry jelly is great with some TJ’s Valencia PB! I also love it in cake form… A couple years ago my mom made my bro a pb&j bday cake and it was soooo good! I’m currenty working on making it into cupcakes bc I keep day dreaming about that cake and how good it was hahhahaha!
Damn that bowl looks amazing! Your peanut butter looks so smooth hmmmmmm

I’ve always wanted to try buckwheat cereal! What kind do you typically use!? And GOOD JOB on that race! I’m so jealous, that’s one of my 2011 goals

congrats on the 10k!
I just wanted to let you know that I just tried your Oats in a Jar… SO DELICIOUS!
I put a packet of oatmeal, a sprinkle of oatbran (because I put too much water…), a spoonful of PB, and some Kashi GoLean cereal and a splash of vanilla soy milk! It was absolutely delicious!
I don’t eat PB&J sandwiches because I LOVE PB, honey, banana and granola sandwiches too much
Courtney Melia recently posted..No worries
I’m so glad you tried them! They’re a favorite of mine…and yours sounds delish!!
I grew up with PB & J being peter pan pb & bama grape jelly. Now I like pb, banana & honey or mashed raspberries w/ almond butter. Yum!
I had never thought to put jelly and peanut butter in a buckwheat or oatmeal bowl! i will have to try this sometime. And I love the daisies.. isn’t it amazing how flowers can really brighten up your day?
Caitlin @ Southern Curls & Pearls recently posted..May Flowers
