I bet you’ve never seen a pug peanut butter addiction up close and personal? I finished off the jar of Teddie this morning, so I let Murphy go to town on it!

Watching him lick the crap out of the jar was way better than any OIAJ ever could be!

As you can see, Murphy really got into it.

I love peanut butter, but I actually think Murphy loves it more than me. Did you see those crazy pug eyes in the last photo?! What a nut.

Breakfast

My breakfast this morning was a toasted English muffin with peanut butter and banana slices on top.

It never gets old.

And, as always, I enjoyed an iced coffee with breakfast.

Question of the Day

I don’t know about you, but I go through phases of loving certain foods and eating them all of the time. Right now, I’m obsessed with smoothies and coconut butter.

What are the foods that you can’t get enough of right now?

Hi, guys! I have a funny, little story for you this morning.

As you know, I wake up about 1.5 hours before Mal and Murphy do. Usually, I wait until they are awake to make breakfast, but this morning, my stomach was grumbling. So, I made myself some oatmeal with peanut butter.

Little did I know, my dog has super-sonic hearing when it comes to peanut butter, specifically the Teddie variety. If you’ve had Teddie, you know that the jar comes with a tin lid that makes a very distinct sound when you open it. In fact, the sound is so distinguishable, it woke Murphy out of a dead sleep. Apparently, he jumped out of bed, went running to the bedroom door, and starting whining. He has a worse peanut butter addiction that I do! It’s almost like his doggie drug. I may need to start looking into drug rehab centers for him!

Man, he’s cute!

Breakfast

I understand why Murphy loves peanut butter so much. It’s frickin’ delicious! And, this morning, it was easily the highlight of breakfast.

I made Oats in a Jar with raisins, cinnamon, ground flaxseed meal, and an extra scoop of peanut butter from a new jar.

It was SUCH a yummy breakfast!

Later in the morning, I made myself an iced soy latte with a squirt of agave nectar.

Creamy, cold, and refreshing.
