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.
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?
Jamie aka "Sometimes Healthy" Girl says
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 ;-)
Chocolate, Cheese and Wine says
French Onion Soup! I can’t get enough of it (I know it is summer and all) but it’s just SO good.
Liz @ Something To Chew On says
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 :)
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
The last craving I had was for a hot dog when I was in Chicago this weekend. And I ended up getting a Chicago-style dog after the Cubs game at Wrigley field…. it was awesomely-weird!! :)
Carey @ Positively Blonde says
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
Erica says
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. :(
Amber Starr @ Love, Laugh, Live Well says
Mmm, now that’s my kind of breakfast! I was craving a turkey dog with turkey chili like crazy so I finally caved. It was well worth it! Yummmmmmm!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I enjoyed a donut for breakfast on Monday morning & it was wonderful!!!
Katie @ running4cupcakes.com says
yummmm looking forward to the recipe tomorrow! My last craving was an iced latte = love summer and iced drinks!
Lee @ in the pink of condition says
My last food craving was eating 3 of those wrapped up American cheese singles without anything else. I know it’s gross, but I needed my cheese fix :-)
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
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. :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Margaritas ……oh heavens the margaritas……. :) They speak to me from a distance and when I hear them calling, it WILL BE less than 3 days before they are MINE!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
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!
Niki (Life's a Payne) says
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!
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
Tonight I was craving ice cream… I was totally still full from my pizza dinner, but ohhh well. My brain had other things in store.
Bella says
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!
Cait @ Urban Fencepost says
I had a banana with peanut butter for breakfast today too. Tonight, I was craving bacon (veggie bacon, ha), so I made BLTs. Sooo good!!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
For some reason I thought that you wrote “Jon & Kate” like from Jon & Kate Plus Eight….
…Orrrrr maybe I’m just a little crazy
Jen @familyfoodfitnessandfun says
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.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
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. :)
Jordan @ food, sweat, and beers says
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.
Lindsey says
For a Pina Colada! I semi made one, mixing pineapple juice, Sprite, Malibu, a Pina Colada smoothie drink.
I love breakfast for supper :)
Charlie says
Breakfast for dinner is awesome.
The best nights are when I eat french toast :P.
Shayla says
Ooo love dinners like that! Last food craving I gave into was smores over the 4th of July weekend…and they were consumed multiple nights ;)
Lauren says
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.
Courtney says
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!
Katherine says
Kettle corn!
Khushboo says
I always crave dark chocolate after a meal so I give in with a couple of squares.
Lora @ BootyGotBling says

Courtney says
It’s posted! :-D
