Pea-nut, peanutbutter. And jelly.

IMG_4180Blog

I’ve been super productive today finishing a freelance project in the morning hours and washing the filthy window above my computer desk (muddy from porch construction) and “I can see clearly now the rain is gonnnnne!”

I also went to pick up Karen from an appointment (she is fine and had a minor procedure done) that required me to run to the medical center. On top of 3 miles of running in my neighborhood, I was pooped when I got home!

I had one food on the brain:

IMG_4183Blog

Yesterday we debuted our latest bread, Whole Grain Goodness, at Great Harvest and I couldn’t wait to try it for lunch! I also had this Yum Butter that a friend sent me so I decided to do a regular ole PB&J

IMG_4173Blog

[And I’ve been eating THIS all week – best jam ever!]

IMG_4174Blog

They both made one fantastic sandwich!

IMG_4184Blog

I had a pile-O-orange on the side. I was going to add a salad too, but it was too much work. Normal people don’t have salads for lunch everyday!

IMG_4181Blog

But hey, I am not normal!

Bye y’all!

    Guess I’m not normal either because I have a salad for lunch each day! But I had a PB sandwich for lunch each day from K-12th grade, so go figure.

    Whenever I make my kids pb and jelly I always make me one. It just feels good to be a kid again even though it’s a grown up pbj. I just did a post on lunch salads. We buy a big tub of organic greens and divide them into tupperware. Then chop up random veggies and add nuts and dried fruit. We always have a good base salad on hand in the fridge. Just add our protein and sauce when you are ready to eat 🙂

    That peanut butter looks phenomenal!! My favorites are by Peanut Butter and Company – their Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and The Bees Knees are both really good. I LOVE peanut butter.

    I came across your site looking for other weight loss / healthy eating blogs. I’ll definitely add this one to my list 🙂

    Do you ever make grilled PBJ? This post just made me crave it – my mom used to make them on “special” dinner nights. (looking back, those were just nights she didn’t feel like cooking – LOL!)

      My stepchildren introduced me to grilled PB&J and it is so good! I also like it on a toasted bagel!

      Kath, that orange has my mouth watering. I am enjoying the citrus fruit so much right now.

    I had my FIRST GH sandwich yesterday!! We have a GH in Lincoln, NE but they stop making sandwiches at 2:00 everyday (maybe that’s a GH thing?) and I’ve never been there in time to get anything but a loaf of bread (cheddar garlic – YUM). I had a harvest veggie – DEEELISH!

    Do you and Matt think of new bread and sweets recipes for the bakery, or does Great Harvest?

    I am all about just peanut butter sandwiches, because even though I like jam and jelly, I hardly ever eat either of them 🙂

    Well, I guess I am not normal either!
    There is something SO wonderful about PB&J, though I don’t think I’ve had it for lunch in ages. I would definitely pair that with a salad and call it a meal!
    It’s funny- in my reader, the majority of the blogs have a photo with some type of citrus in them (mine included, except it’s grapefruit!)

    Speaking of not normal, I’ve never been a pb+j fan. I was a rebel and a finicky eater as a kid and remain both today 🙂 Now, oranges are a different story – I happen to be eating one as I read your post!

    Can I just say… in our “carb-phobic” , low-fat everything society, it’s refreshing to see a girl eat her carbs and good healthy fats (at all times of the day mind you!!!). Love it!

    Nothing constructive to add except: My English lecturer used to make us get up and sing “Pea-nut, peanut butter. And jelly”, the whole song, if we were sluggish in class. Further in our course we used to sing it in class at random moments (I was in a really cool intake and the lecturers were really relaxed). We had never heard it before we were taught it at university, so I assume it is something that is learned in American Schools? My lecturer is American, but we live in New Zealand. Sorry if that is a silly question!
