A couple of months ago fellow blogger Emily who owns Bluebird Bakery reached out to me to see if I would like to sample some of her products. I happily accepted her box of goodies!
Her specialty is Hungry Bars which she describes as a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a granola bar. The Hungry Bars come in all kinds of fun flavor combinations like oatmeal raisin cookie, peanut butter cookie, dark chocolate cherry coconut and many more. There is also an option for gluten-free.
I have really enjoyed my sampler of Hungry Bars. I placed them in the freezer so that I can grab one whenever I need a quick snack to go.

Emily also makes delicious blondies and brownies. I especially loved the peanut butter fudge brownie. I would like one of these for dessert every single day, please! 😉
Emily offered to give Peanut Butter Runner readers a 15% discount on variety pack orders. Enter “pbr” for the promotional code at checkout.
I have never attempted to make homemade granola bars but Emily’s Hungry Bars inspired me. They were so much better than pre-packaged bars. Does anyone have a favorite recipe?

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
