Happiest of Mondays! I’ve been pretty happy because my pantry has been stocked with some new delicious peanut butter.

5.18peanutbutter

When the “Chief Grinder” (um, awesome title) from Nut Butter Nation reached out to me about sampling his peanut butters, I was like…”yes.” I will never, ever turn down an opportunity to sample a new nut butter! He sent me Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Honey Vanilla Peanut Butter. They are so good!

The Brown Sugar Cinnamon has a little bit of a grittier brown sugar texture to it and a pretty strong (but not overwhelming) cinnamon taste. The Honey Vanilla is just all types of perfection. Both peanut butters are drippy and easy to spread.

lundbergchips

On the topic of things I’m loving…these chips. I have mentioned this before but I love having some salty chips in the pantry to snack on. I usually do Pop Chips, tortilla chips or pita chips. Most recently these Lundberg Mojave Jalepeno Multigrain Chips made their way home from Whole Foods with me and they are addictive!

Some things I’ve been eating…

5.18overnightoats

Overnight oats. Rolled oats, chia seeds, dried cranberries, frozen blueberries, diced banana, plain 2% greek yogurt, soymilk, peanut butter.

5.18brunch

Sunday brunch.

5.18lunch

Packed lunch eaten at the studio. Spinach, arugula, lemon pepper chicken, toasted walnuts, avocado, goat cheese and diced apples. Another thing I’m loving…this Simply Dressed Ginger Sesame Vinaigrette.

5.18veggieburgersalad

Off the charts veggie burger salad at a little restaurant in Black Mountain, NC while we were on our yoga retreat location scouting trip. The veggie burger was homemade and had diced portobello, parmesan cheese, oats and more. Side of honey mustard and balsamic because that’s the best way to do it! 🙂

5.18turkey

Turkey and avocado with a lemon herb mayo and melted cheese.

5.18kalesalad

Kale salad with goat cheese, currants, pepitas and roasted beets at Earl’s Grocery.

5.18apptable

An appetizer spread that dreams are made of at a yogi party on Saturday night. Look at that giant cheese plate and big bowl of stuffed grape leaves.

5.18flatbread

My favorite fig and prosciutto flat bread topped with arugula for a late night dinner after seeing the latest Avengers movie.

And that wraps it up!
