Lazy Susan

Heya! Did you miss me?

I’ve just been lazy. And out running. And running errands!

This morning Matt and I went for a 4.5 mile run. I’ve been struggling with running lately – it’s just been hard! But today it was easy. Must just be luck of the draw. We ran 8:35 miles for the first two, although we slowed a little after that.

Once home, I made some Honey Crunch Peanut Butter with a bag of Trader Joe’s peanuts I had from my last trip there! GOSH is it good!!!

IMG_2044BlogBlog

So I wanted lunch to involve the latest recipe.

IMG_8303Blog

IMG_8304Blog

Remember when you were little and your mom made you PB&J and the sandwich was so heavy because it was loaded with …PB&J!? That’s what I was going for. And Old Fashioned.

IMG_8305Blog

Smothered in Honey Crunch and topped with some of this fabulous fresh-tasting Strawberry Jam from Tait Farm Foods in my Philly Homegrown gift basket. It tasted like a strawberry had burst in the sun!

IMG_8314Blog

IMG_8310Blog

Before I got to my lunch main event, I had a bright Margarita Salad

IMG_8318Blog

I say margarita because I dressed it in lime and salt!

IMG_8308Blog

Just romaine, green pepper and carrot with avocado, lime, olive oil an salt. Refreshing!

IMG_8307Blog

Now somebody find me a tequilla shot..

IMG_8311BlogIMG_8316Blog

Afternoon was grocery shopping.

Almost dinnertime!! Soup’s on.

    Yum yum yummmmm! PB&J never gets old…

    I am planning on making my own nut butter tomorrow too! Gonna give sunflower seed butter a shot! So I suppose seed butter is politically correct. Ha..

    Enjoy your relaxing day!

    PB&J can be so comforting. Yours looks delicious! I’m also liking the simplicity of your salad ‘dressing’ – lime sounds great!

    Oh my goodness, that Tait Farm jam is from my hometown! Awesome!….Just FYI, the farm is in Central Pennsylvania, just outside of State College (Go Penn State!). They specialize in value-added products, like the jam (and other spreads, marinades, etc.), and also have a CSA and Christmas Tree farm–I’ve worked a bit with the farmers and they are great. So cool to see a familiar product such a distance away!

    Looks delicious! I LOVE the honey crunch peanut butter recipe. I picked up a couple bags of the peanuts on my last trip and now I’m rationing it out because the nearest Trader Joe’s to Denver is a 6.5 hour drive! It’s gotta be the best nut butter I’ve ever had. I’m wondering if the honey roasted ‘peanut stock’ at my local grocery store will be any near as good.

    Everything looks incredible! Sometimes I get intense cravings for a simple, straight up peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But never in my wildest pb&j dreams have I ever had one that looks THAT delicious! Seriously, it is so rustic and yummy.

    And that salad – Yes please! Sometimes a simple, crispy and cool salad is the way to go. I love that you dressed this one with lime juice. Delicious!
