Happy Tuesday everyone!! Guess who I’m hanging out with this morning…?
The lovely Heather, that’s who!
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy being on vacation yet?
Heather and I met up earlier this morning at J Watt’s Barista House for a little caffeine and blog talk, As always, it’s been fantastic!
As soon as I arrived, it was time to get something warm and caffeinated, so I ordered up a latte called “The Morgan.” It’s basically a version of my favorite caramel macchiato from Starbucks…
However, I’m quite tempted to say that J Watt’s may triumph over Starbucks on this one. This baby was AMAZING!
I also brought along some Cinnamon Chip Scones to share.
I had one, but Ms. Heather gets to keep the rest.
Before leaving the house this morning, I also squeezed in a 3-mile run, which let me tell you…was one of the most daunting runs I’ve experienced in a long time. My legs felt like comparable to 100 pound iron rods, my hip was hurting, and I just wasn’t feeling. I couldn’t have been more happy when it was over!
So needless to say, I had to refuel with something else rather quickly, so I put together a banana and PB.
Simple and tasty!

Question for the Day – from thenheathersaid:
Who’s your favorite President? (It IS George Washington’s birthday today, ya know!)
Liz @ IHeartVegetables says
Yum! Peanut Butter & Banana is always a good go-to snack for refueling! I’m sorry the run was harder than expected :( But good job for making it through!
Any blogger meet up that involves coffee and/or scones sounds like fun ;)
Victoria (District Chocoholic) says
Favorite president? Richard Nixon, hands down.
Hope the hip is better soon!
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
What a fun morning!
Not sure how people feel about this, but Bill Clinton will always be my favorite! :)
Nadya says
I know maybe it is not the right place, but can I ask you a question!? :) .. How do you store your cookies/scones and anything similar? Because mine are always dry and soft the next day!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Hmmm…favorite president. I think I’m gonna go with Reagan, because I think he did a great job and he looked like a cute little grandpa, haha :)

Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
Hmmm…favorite president? I’d have to say Reagan.
Shanna, like Banana says
I love Obama so I’m going to say he’s my fave!
Also love coffee houses that are a change from SBux..win!
Lauren says
Obama is my favorite, but I liked Clinton too! :)
Stephanie @cookinfanatic says
PB + banana = def one of my fave combos! I like to pop mine in the microwave for 10-20 seconds so it gets all warm n’ gooey, is that weird haha?
i’m doing a Chobani giveaway at my site for all the new flavors if you want to check it out!!
(none of the restaurants in your giveaway are near me either sad sad :( )
Stacie says
I think I’m an Abe Lincoln girl myself. Something about him just reminds me of dignity.
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
Good job on pushin’ through on the run! I’m going to go with Reagan for Prez – plus…I love the name for a future bebe ;)
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
Running when your legs feel that way is the worst ever!! At least you got through it!!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I think Teddy Roosevelt was pretty awesome. Rough Riders, the ‘stache, a bear named after him. And he’s in the Night at the Museum movies :0)
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
FDR!
Your banana “sandwich” looks yummy!
kate@ahealthypassion says
yumm I LOVE caramel macchiatos im jealous of your drink it sounds delish
Holly says
Reagan..for sure :)
& are you on vacation or do you guys just have off?
What a nice way to start the morning! But I hope your hip gets to feeling better..that doesn’t sound good :(
fsugirl! says
I think my favs are : FDR, JFK and Reagan! Overall, though, JFK. It’s so sad how he died, I feel he could’ve done so great as President. What do I know, I’m only in my early 20s! ;) Hope your hip feels better! :D
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
