Peanut Butter Lover

I’ve been on a major oatmeal for breakfast kick for a couple weeks. Something about the cold weather makes a warm bowl of oats a pleasant way to wake up.

Just kidding- my food only dreams of being so pretty!

Oh well, at least they taste good! Check out the pretty oatmeal link for tons of great oatmeal recipes. My go-to is oats with crunchy peanut butter and brown sugar. I’m slowly trying to add less brown sugar but it just tastes so good!

My oats were enjoyed post workout. I was greeted with an inch of snow this morning on my way out to the gym.

So dark, so cold!

I did 25 minutes of light incline walking on the treadmill followed by 10 minutes of higher intensity cardio on the elliptical. Then I finished up with bicep curls, jumping jacks, and crunches. It was nice to check off my workout so early in the morning before the sun came up.

Happy National Peanut Butter Day! Check out Julie’s blog for some good recipes with peanut butter. I think I’ll go celebrate with a spoonful of the good stuff. 🙂
