  • Chicken and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Spaghetti Squash

    { 27 comments }

    Good evening. I’m apologize for being a bit whiney last night but sometimes a girl just needs to be whiney. I’m sure that most of you can relate. It’s like my favorite Pin of the week… I think I was on my broomstick yesterday and not using my angel wings. ;) So, while I was [...]

  • Coconut Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

    { 20 comments }

    How’s that for a recipe title? It could also be known as “open the pantry and fridge and throw in everything that you have banana bread.”  I had two bananas that were destined for the trash can if I didn’t find a use for them yesterday. I am a little over traditional banana bread so [...]

  • Blog Direction + Green Coconut Curry Recipe

    { 16 comments }

    I have been a little sporadic with posting lately. It’s not that I don’t have a ton of ideas for things that I want to post about (lacrosse ball mobility, active v. dynamic stretching, a stability ball core workout, a yoga for runners video, recipes, etc.), it’s more that I am lacking the time to [...]

  • Home Cooked + Cast Iron Cheddar Cornbread Recipe

    { 41 comments }

    It was too much to combine the family love and food love into one post yesterday. Especially given that I whipped up the best corn bread that I ever baked. I am very fortunate to come from a family that enjoys planing and preparing meals. Growing up my dad did most of the cooking (he’s [...]

  • Mexican Quinoa V2 + Strong & Confident

    { 38 comments }

    I really loved all of the pet discussion today about food and training. I try to keep the blog mostly focused on food/fitness/lifestyle and try to not go overboard with the pet pictures/posts. I do consider owning a pet to be part of my lifestyle so I’m happy that the food post was well received. [...]

  • Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    { 33 comments }

    My Sunday activities consisted of sleeping in, making brunch, baking cookies, blogging, hot yoga, house cleaning and a meeting at lululemon. While I did keep myself busy, none of these were “have to do’s” and everything was done at a relaxed pace. It is still weird for me to wake up on Sunday morning and [...]

  • Blueberry Crumb Bars + A Dilemma

    { 69 comments }

    Some of you might know this but I didn’t get my start with blogging on Peanut Butter Runner. I actually had my food/recipe blog, Bakin’ & Eggs, for two years before launching Peanut Butter Runner. I posted recipes there 3-5 times a week. I started PBR because I was constantly asked how I could bake [...]

  • Peanut Butter, Coconut and Fruit Granola Bars

    { 35 comments }

    It’s been quite a Monday over here and I’ve been full-speed ahead since my feet hit the floor at 5:15 a.m. My first stop was the Y to teach 6 a.m. BodyPump and then back home to clean myself up and feed my starving belly. Strength training makes me so hungry! I got a little crazy [...]

  • A Hawaiian Special – Musubi

    { 19 comments }

    Hi everyone, my name is Stef and I write a blog called Living HI about healthy living in Hawaii. My interests include running, hiking, kayaking, and cooking with whole ingredients. Jen is having a crazy busy week, so she gave me the opportunity to do a guest post over here on Peanut Butter Runner, thanks [...]

  • Monkey Food

    { 13 comments }

    So the name of this post came as a result of me asking Brandon what I should title it…he loves monkeys and in his mind bananas = monkeys…there you have it! ;) In the past I was never really in love with bananas. I thought they were just okay and they definitely weren’t a weekly [...]

  • Mexican Quinoa

    { 22 comments }

    You request, I listen! Here is the recipe for the Mexican Quinoa. I think it’s apparent that quinoa is one of my new favorites. I discovered it during my 68 Days of Gourmet project on Bakin’ and Eggs. This recipe is responsible for the start of my obsession. I touched on the health benefits in [...]

  • Pancakes for Dinner

    { 9 comments }

    My day started and ended with breakfast. Yum! Breakfast for dinner is the best and I don’t know why we don’t have it more often! Is anyone else a fan of breakfast for dinner? Before we get to the pancakes, let’s start at the beginning. Breakfast: overnight oats at my desk this morning. I was [...]

  • Pumpkin Banana Oatmeal

    { 10 comments }

    Today I attended a workshop at my yoga studio from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. I needed a breakfast that would really stay with me and power me through a long day since I knew I wouldn’t want much for lunch. I know I’ve mentioned this before but it’s really hard for me to practice [...]

  • Back in the Kitchen

    { 10 comments }

    The kitchen is one of my favorite places to be. It is a relaxing and creative place for me where I can forget about whatever else is going on at that moment. Life has been so crazy lately that I haven’t spent much time in my happy place. Since I’ve been on this break from [...]

  • Making the Most of It

    { 12 comments }

    We had grand plans of packing yesterday afternoon but Brandon ended up at the Y and I decided to go to a hot yoga class at Y2. I have to be honest, I really wasn’t feeling it…at all…but I always go on Sunday afternoons when we’re in town and am pretty set in my routines. [...]
