Sugar Donuts and Peanut Butter Binges

Sometimes I get so hungry I can't think straight. That's exactly what happened 

to me this evening! Peanut Butter and Raspberry Jam with Honey smothered on 

Gluten Free Bread with 1.5 Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Donuts on the side!

It was a Homer Simpson sugar affair

Question: Do you ever treat yourself to a bunch 

of sugar and desserts in excess like I did?

Timbits and Dark Hot Chocolate

I had a sugar craving that couldn't be satisfied by anything
 other than a Dark Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate and Timbits

Assorted 10-Piece Timbit Donuts: Honey Dipped, Sour 

Cream, Chocolate, Old Fashioned Glazed, and Jelly-Filled

Just what I needed to conquer my sweet tooth. Happy Friday!

Peanut Butter with Honey

Kraft Peanut Butter with Honey

Absolutely in love with this Peanut Butter!!! I am not 

a big fan of honey but I loved how subtle the flavor was,

 not overpowering the peanuts but enhancing them instead

Today I spent the day with the kitties, slowly 

more destined to become the crazy cat woman

But I made good use of my day, getting lots of chores done...

...and lots of blogging with Salem too

Here's a couple cute photos I captured...

These two make my day :)

The tree (back home) is lit and the Christmas Countdown 

is coming to a close. I hope everyone is enjoying the season!

3 more days until Christmas

Builder Bar Boost

Boy do I have a photo feast for you today!

I adore Clif Builder's Bars, but sometimes I enjoy them too much...

Case in point: Peanut Butter Flavoured Builder's Protein Bar 

paired with a dollop of Creamy Peanut Butter and Manuka Honey

I needed something sweet, high in protein, and well, peanut butter accessible haha

I am obsessed with this new snack/dessert combination!

*Bite* I told you there's plenty of photos to feast your eyes upon

Question: What is the last sinful 

combination of snacks/desserts you ate?

Christmas Card Crafting

Nothing screams FUN like Christmas Card Crafting and Squirrel Snacking!

I love making my own cards because its a great excuse

 to shop at the Dollar Store because its the thought that 

counts when it comes to thinking of others this time of year

Here's a few samples of the ones I've made so far...

Breaktime...

How about Peanut Butter & Banana with Manuka Honey on Gluten Free Bread?

A few more...

So that's what I've been doing creative-wise to keep myself busy

Aside from eating good snacks!

Manuka Honey is a bit pricey and a more acquired taste, but well worth it in my opinion! 

Question: Which Christmas Crafts or Cooking/Baking

 are you looking forward to getting a jump start on this year?

Calgary Care Package

Anyone who has ever moved away from home knows how exciting it can

be to get a "care package" sent in the mail from your family or loved ones

My mom told me she was sending me a parcel in the mail but 

 I didn't expect the box to be so big!!! What the heck was inside?

Inside the box 

A cute note from my mom, along with a sample of 

Naked Strawberry Green Tea from fullyloadedtea

The tea theme continues with a box of Disney Alice 

in Wonderland Tea, "The Official Unbirthday Tea"

Earl Grey and Pomegranate 

Mango and Mad Tea Party Blend

Blueberry and Lemon Honey Chamomile 

The backside 

Mushroom and Quinoa Cream Soup Mix from Gogo Quinoa

Jade Cloud Organic Green Tea from Rishi Tea

My dulse seaweed that I figure my mom was 

just tired of having sit around the house haha

An adorable summer t-shirt from American Eagle

"Let's Live a Free Life"

And the rest was some of my spring/summer clothes 

I left behind... and my sandals which I needed badly!

Questions: When was the last time you received or 

sent a care package? What were some of the items inside?
