SSB How I Love Thee
My beloved Sunflower Seed Butter,
You sure make my heart flutter.
From the moment you entered my life,
I knew I would become your wife. <–(for the sake of the rhyme!!)
Your silky, smooth texture is oh so delicious,
I want to add you to all my dishes.
I’m gonna eat you with a spoon,
While I sing my favorite tune.
After going on one too many dates,
I was forced to enter the rehab gates.
Now that I’ve completed the program,
I’m ready for your love again!

1) I am determined to make this jar last longer than a week.
2) I found the post back when I first tried Sunflower Seed Butter. April 9th 2010. The post was titled ‘I Am Now Infatuated.’
Clearly, it was love at first taste.
3) I was just about to buy a jar of SSB when I received a surprise package from a reader, Kim.

Along with the SSB, she sent me this Greens+ Energy Bar and a gorgeous card with a photo of Yosemite. Thank you so much, Kim!
How fitting since yesterday was my half birthday! I’m 22 1/2 now. Ack.

After fueling up with some Banana Bread Oat Bites yesterday, I was ready to get my butt in motion.

Workout:
- 60 min. elliptical
- 15 min. treadmill walkin’
- 60 crunches on a balance ball
- 100 jumping jacks
While working out, I brainstormed dinner ideas. For some reason thinking about food makes my workouts fly by. I contemplated hitting up the Whold Foods Salad Bar for some good ol’ veggies, but then Peter came home and saved the day.
I had the Greens+ Energy Bar as a post-workout snack while Peter cooked.

This bar tasted exactly like the chocolate one I love so much. The ingredients list is always so exciting to read through. Here’s a sample: Hawaiian spirulina, organic alfalfa grass, milk thistle seed extract, echinacea root extract, gingko biloba leaf extract….
…so maybe I’m the only excited one here.
I’m okay with that.

First up, some beets. He peeled, chopped, and boiled/steamed 4 medium sized beets in a pot of water. They tasted very similar to the beets cooked using my roasting method.
