Succumbed To The Craving

By Courtney 30 Comments

I think my savory breakfasts finally caught up with me. Two days in a row is a big deal.

So tonight, while I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner, all I could think about was my typical breakfast food. Specifically, peanut butter and banana.

And since I learned a long time ago that it’s not worth ignoring a true craving, I rolled succumbed to it.

I toasted up a Thomas’ Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin and topped it with some peanut butter, banana slices, raisins, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey.

Lucky for me, it was everything I had hoped it would be.

And since I really can’t get enough of the combo, I added the rest of my ‘naner and filled it with a little more PB.

On the side, I also snacked on a Black Cherry Chobani which was delicious, as always.

Since dinner was a little lighter than normal, I’m pretty sure another snack will be in order later this evening. I really wish I had some of these leftover…

although it’s probably a good thing that I don’t. They are dangerous.

But if you think you’re prepared to enter the “danger zone,” you’re in luck; I’ll be sharing the recipe with you all tomorrow. Winking smile

For now, I’ve got guests…Joe & Kate are stopping by. Wooooo!

Question for the Evening:

What was the last food craving you had and totally gave in to?

    mmmm girl, I could write a book about cravings! And you are so right that it is smarter to give into them...unless, it's a box of cereal - that craving is a dead-end for me, as I'll undoubtedly consume the whole box. The last craving I had was for Reddi Whip...I know I know -this is sad. But you see, I had attempted to cut it out, since I realized I could not justify it as a food group. I finally succumbed and bought a can yesterday. It is, of course, now empty ;-)

    French Onion Soup! I can't get enough of it (I know it is summer and all) but it's just SO good.

    My latest craving was for a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of pickles. I gave in when I got home from work today. Delish :)

    I use to crave a graham cracker with pb and raisins! I haven't had one of those in a long time, but seeing your post reminded me of my once favorite snack! I think it may make a return :) haha

    i really wanted to eat a hot dog on the 4th of july...but i didn't go to any BBQs, so i gave in to eating a chili frank plate, but it didn't really work cause what i really wanted was a hot dog/bun/ketchup & mustard. :(

      That's weird! One of my last ones was American cheese singles wrapped around a banana. Good to know I'm not the only weird one. :)

    Peanut butter and banana is the most amazing combo! :) I love it. The last craving I gave into was all of the tasty desserts at our 4th of July party. Wayyy too many desserts!

    Oddly enough, mine was onion rings. I don't normally like them all that much but I WANTED them the other night... so I had a few :) ! And you CAN'T go wrong with breakfast for supper, or for lunch, or a snack. In short, breakfast food rocks my socks!

    I actually did the same thing on the fourth. Instead of a veggie burger with everyone else I made oatmeal with peanut butter, stevia, and crushed graham cracker. I was more conent with that then I was with even the thought of a veggie burger. Cravings are cravings. Better to sucumb then to ignore haha!

    That looks soooo good! I often crave nut butter. Sometimes during the day, I'll open the fridge and stick my finger in the PB jar or cashew butter jar and have a luck! Yum.

    I always give into food cravings! I don't really know the last one I gave into because I usually just eat what I want when I want it. :)

    My cravings have been running the gambit lately with lots of variety but, honestly, the last one that I felt that simply HAD to be dealt with was for a gooey crunchy delicious grilled cheese with cheddar, american, AND provolone. Full fat. As someone who "gets by" with reduced fat/fat free cheese most of the time, that grilled cheese hit the spot more than ice cold lemonade on a hot day.

    Hi Courtney! I was just curious; when you eat something like this for dinner, what does your husband eat? I live with my boyfriend and we normally eat the same dinner every night (although he complains that I'm trying to make everything "too healthy" haha.

      Last night, I ended up making Jay a tuna fish sandwich and a side salad and he was happy with that. :) We're also sort of in "clean out what we have" mode since we'll be leaving for vacay tomorrow!
