Hi bloggies!
Yesterday was kinda a disaster day for me. It was just one of those days I guess! Got asked to come in early to work, got in a fight with my sister-in-law (and then she subsequently de-friended me on facebook when I did nothing to her, who does that?!), and felt like eating everything in sight, all day. Mainly I’m stressed out by the sister-in-law thing but today’s a new day, and I will not let it bother me!
In 2 short hours I’ll be on my way to Whole Foods with Cassandra, one of my very favorite places and one of my very favorite persons 
Right now I’m going through all my teared out magazine recipes to see what I feel like making this week so I know what to buy. How does gingered sweet potato and carrot soup sound?I need to make all my winter recipes since this winter is going so fast!
Tonight is Lululemon yoga at 6:30, and then I should be home just in time for LOST! Yeah, it’s definitely going to be a good day today. Unless, for all you other Lost fans, I start watching it and none of the characters remember each other. That bomb better not do what it’s supposedly going to do!
I made the most delicious bowl of oats yesterday morning. How have I never tried sweet potato oats? I microwaved a sweet potato while the oats were cooking and then just took the skin off and dropped it in so it turned into sweet potato chunks. Next time I want to try mashing it before putting it in.
Here’s what else went into the mix:
- Steel cut oats
- Coconut milk
- vanilla
- Dried cranberries
- Sweet potato
- Flax
- PB & Co Cinnamon & Raisin Swirl pb
I subsequently finished the jar of peanut butter last night. Usually I don’t eat while stressed but I did last night. If I’m going to go all out on something though, I’m glad it was with my favorite peanut butter.
I’m not going to lie on this blog. I don’t eat perfect all the time. I had oatmeal for breakfast, a cheddar-artichoke heart-tomato sandwich for lunch at work (sorry it was rushed, no picture!), and then a little less than half a jar of peanut butter for dinner. Sometimes I just need a peanut butter dinner (PBD). I am called Christina Butter after all.
This morning I got back on track with a sunnyside egg, a slice of toast, and a slice of the new organic cheddar cheese than I’m obsessed with.
I know better than to go food shopping with an empty stomach!
Question: What’s a food you’re most likely to go overboard with?

I’m sorry about the fight with your sister-in-law
I hope you guys make up soon!
I also cannot wait for LOST tonight! I hope I remember what the hell happened ’cause it’s been a while!
Sorry about the issue with your sister in law! I hope everything works out.
Love the oats! I’ll have to try that.
Enjoy WF!

I hope you have a better day today. I can go overboard with peanut butter.
I’ve NEVER had sweet potato oats but I’m going to get on that ASAP!
It’s ok to have an off day, we all do! And that’s what PB is for!
Bread!
Sorry to hear your day was crudtastic yesterday.
Sorry your day was so rough… I am way behind with blogs right now so slowly catching up. Defriending people on FB is like the new “thing” to do when you are mad. A passive lash-out, I guess? Hopefully you guys can sort something out.
Sweet potato oats sound delish!!!!
I go way overboard with whipped cream- 20 servings in a can? I don’t think so!
Sorry to hear that, hope today is gonna be much…much better! Take care girl:)

Sorry to hear about your bummer of a day…I think sweet potato oats sounds like a great solution to your woes though:)
oh i could easily go over on nut butters
love ‘em all. oh and brussels sprouts haha.
have fun with your friend and the whole foods trip!
Urgh, fights are always nasty….But the good thing is that usually after a quarrel, your relationship gets stronger…at least, I hope so!
I can eat a single BIG kabocha in one seating. IT’s so dangerous for me. And nuts! I can eat a whole can/tub of those!
PBD = brilliant acronym! hope you had a great time at lululemon yoga, i’ve been meaning to go to one of their free classes too!
