Power to the Peanut Butter


Happy Mothers’ Day!

Hopefully all the mommies out there are being pampered like they deserve: breakfast in bed, pedicures, and lots of hugs.  My amazing mommy received a special breakfast (which I’ll write about tomorrow).  But because I was working on her breakfast, my own had to be quick and simple.

Now it’s time for another installment of “Strange things I see when I Run.” I almost stepped on this guy yesterday (well, not him, but his look-alike).

And then, later, I came across a hissing squirrel. Did you know squirrels can talk? I didn’t! Nothing as strange as Scary Spandex Man, but if I never see him again, I think I’ll be okay!

    I love turtles! Hissing squirrels? not so much…

    I think the strangest thing I’ve seen while I was running was a man on a motorcycle with his dog riding in an attachable cart wearing sunglasses. It was really cute 😀

    Your mother’s day breakfast is so sweet! I’ll be calling momma Coffee Run today

    I bet your mother’s breakfast was really good because it was made with love. Your breakfast looks better then mine was.

    My mom is getting fresh homemade pretzels when she gets home from work. It is what she wants so that is what she will get.

    My favorite PB is MaraNatha no-stir varitey. Now i’m wanting some peanut butter. 🙂

    we had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner at a great scandinavian restaurant.

    Haha, I would totally freak you if I would see a turtle here, they’re NOT living freely outside in our country 😀

    unfortunately I live hundreds of miles from my mom, but I emailed, texted, called and blogged to tell her how much I love her and she means to me. She’s fantastic!!

    By far, PB&Co is my favorite brand! And I’m having a PB&Co giveaway soon on my blog!! Can’t wait to share it with others! Yum!!

    You have a very lucky mom! I’m sure you took good care of her 🙂
    My dad made breakfast this morning for our whole extended family, then in the afternoon I took her shopping, and tonight I wrote a special blog post for her.
    I am of course hugging my fats per usual these days but need to get around to taking a picture for you! There has been an abundance of almonds, peanut butter, tahini, coconut, and avocado loving. Sometimes all at once!
    Oh and tonight’s dinner was also covered in a traditional chimichurri sauce with plenty of EVOO!

    my favorite peanut butter is naturally more! i also love the no-stir maranatha kind.

    my sister has a 3-toed box turtle that looks just like that fella 😉 so cute!

    I love your breakfast! I could eat some combo of carbs, PB, sugars, and banana for breakfast every day and never get tired of it. Toast, bagels, oatmeal, pancakes, anything!

    I celebrated mother´s day by… going for a run and making your pizzert idea (and blogging about it). Thanks for the great idea, it was awesome!
