I’m pretty sure today was the nicest it’s been all year. So nice! The day started out cool and cloudy, but it just keep getting better. When I got out of work, it was 70 and sunny. Perfect running weather…on a rest day, of course. Maybe today’s activities won’t get logged on dailymile, but I still had a grand ol’ time.
You know when you’re reading blogs/newspapers/magazines and you see a delicious recipe that you really want to make? You star it, bookmark it, cut it out, save it for later. And later never comes. You keep making those same tried and true recipes. I do that, too. All. The. Time.
Not today! Today as I perused my favorite blogs, I stumbled upon something delicious: Jenna’s Peanut Butter Sandwich Bread. I saw peanut butter, bread, and quick in the same post. I had to have some. As usual, I starred the recipe. Then I did the unthinkable. I came home from work, opened the kitchen windows, rolled up my sleeves…and made the bread!
Rest days are the perfect opportunity to get cookin’. I got a little nervous when I realized that I didn’t have all the necessary ingredients, but I went ahead and worked with what I had. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all-purpose flour. I also used almond milk. The changes worked well.
While the bread cooled, I joined my mom and the pups for a cool two mile walk around the neighborhood. I love evening walks and they’re made even better with the promise of fresh bread waiting at home.
A mug of peach tea and smear of strawberry jam. Heaven. My heaven has lots of bread…and peanut butter…and peanut butter bread.
Favorite bread? I’ve never made a real bread with yeast and such, but I do make some quick breads. I love ‘em all, but banana-nut bread has a special place in my heart.
