happy times.

MY BUTTERS HAVE ARRIVED! (yaaaaaay!)

I snagged a great deal on these bad boys last week and have been anxiously tracking their journey through UPS for the past few days in anticipation of their arrival. And today when I heard a loud knock on the front door, I RAAAN to answer it! I dug into both of them right away and of course also whipped up a fruit salad to enhance my nut-heaven enjoying experience. This is probably one of the yummiest fruit bowls. Ever. It was that epic. 

In the mix:

+medium Granny Smith apple

+tbs. of almond butter

+tbs. of peanut butter (oh, yeah I mixed both!)

+half a blueberry Chobani 

+tbs. flax seed

+drizzle of agave syrup

SO. GOOD. 

Today was an awesome day of good eats, because I also put together a phenomenal dinner. I tried this recipe for white bean burgers since I had some left-over Great Northern white beans already soaked and cooked. I was a little skeptical after blending all the ingredients, because they weren't sticky at all! I think I must have underblended. But I put it all together anyway, added a teaspoon of olive oil and a bunch of red pepper flakes. Any skepticism I had disappeared once I tried these guys. Super yummy! I ate them with a some peanut sauce for dipping, a ample side of pepper jack cheese, and a raw tomato/onion mix. Very satisfying and filling! (And colorful, too!)

ALSO... Today is Q. and I's SIXTH year anniversary of dating! Time flies when you're having fun! Alas, we're both in finals weeks in different parts of the country (until this Friday!) and can't spend it together. In any event, cranberry love for life, babycakes. Mando um BEIJÃO!
