PB&J Yogurt Bowl Recipe + WIAW

By

Staple foods.  We all have them.

Some of us have them literally.

Amy's burrito staple

When my boss referred to Amy’s burritos as a staple food… he meant literally.  He opened this little gem and found something shiny in it.  Normally I like shiny things, but a staple in my burrito?  I’ll pass.

He emailed Amy’s and got a scripted response from customer service about an hour later.  The person didn’t seem too concerned,but said they send the pics to someone else int he company.  Well see… in the mean time, I’m especially grateful I go my food prep!

My WIAW wasn’t shiny, but it was delicious.  My boss asked if I’d bring him meals too. 😉

Breakfast:

My morning cocktail was followed by cookies.  Arman linked up his Caramel Pecan Breakfast Cookies to Friday’s #strangebutgood post.  The flavor was amazing… but I was running late (as usual)… so I tried to make them in the microwave and jacked it up.  As such, here’s a pic of Arman’s original cookie.

Mid-Morning Snack:

A quickie turkey salad – I shredded up some no salt deli turkey and mixed with sugar peas and a Greek yogurt mix (yogurt, dill, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper).  These salad creations are so easy to make on the fly.  I also  like to use chicken or fish I’ve pre-cooked.

Shrimp and Boom Chicka Pop

Lunch:

Shrimp salad with cabbage, tossed in a delicious sauce that I will reveal in Friday’s #strangebutgood post… I made it as part of Sunday’s food prep and surprised myself at how well the recipe hack turned out.

Mid-Afternoon Snack(s):

Swordfish was on sale and Whole Paycheck, so you know I stocked up!  With a side of honey mustard-roasted cauliflower, mushrooms, and bell peppers.

Dinner:

This dinner was a late one, but was worth the wait!  Soy bean pasta with Sizzlefish scallops (my favorite yet!) and a tasty #strangebutgood sauce that will be on the blog Friday! I’m really, really excited for this one…

Dessert:

For dessert, I was craving PB&J.  So I tuned it into a midnight snack-style greek yogurt bowl!  The yogurt base was the peanut butter, and the jam I topped it with my grandmother’s homemade muscadine jelly.  I wish I could share the jelly with everyone… it is the best I’ve ever tasted.

The last few weeks have flown by, but I must confess this week is dragging ass.  Productive, but feels long.  Maybe a little rest would be good. 😉

What is your favorite jelly flavor?

What are your staple foods?

  3. LOL. I love how you microwaved it.

    I swear you eat a seafood platter throughout the day, minus the platter part, addition of all the variety.

    I’ve had the staple in a frozen meal before (a breakfast sandwich)- I think I ate it too!

  4. Completely unrelated to anything you’ve posted here and I know you’ve made your own, but they sell Kombucha at Target now.

    This made my day.

    • You should! It’s so easy – especially of people want different fishes (I was a really picky kid).

  7. Oh my god! Thats awful! I bet Amys will help in a big way (especially now you have called them out on here :P). My sister found cardboard in a belvita biscuit once….gross! When you ask us about our staples….food with staples in? Cant say I have ever had anything 😉 My staples are bread, almond butter, almond milk, and cereal!

    • Nope. They’ve actually been pretty terrible and even asked that I take down anything on social. Nope nope.

  11. Whoa! A staple in a burrito! That’s just crazy. And the response from the company is even worse. Yikes!

    Anyways, the breakfast cookies look and sound so, so delicious!

  12. I am so disappointed in that response from Amy’s !
    I like that company!
    Hopefully someone will step it up over there and reach back out? That is UNACCEPTAMABLE.
    He needs some coupons and a big-azz apology.
    In today’s litigious society they are lucky.

    Strawberry Jelly is my jam <– snort.

    • It’s been really disappointing so far. Not what I would have expected from this company. 🙁

  13. Ughhh a staple?! And it’s more disturbing that they didn’t seem all that concerned…hopefully calling them out here will make them pay a little more attention.
    Staple foods: chicken, bananas, spinach, kabocha, sweet potatoes, peanut butter.

  19. Random fun note: When you said “Some of us have them literally.”related to staple foods the first connection I made in my mind was completely different from yours. Staple is pronounced similar to the German word ‘Stapel’ which means ‘pile’. And ahem, my hoarding tendencies with some foods literally mean I have piles of certain foods 😀 . What? I guess I just like my staples.
    Also, Germany needs to get on board with soy bean pasta.

  21. A staple does NOT sound appetizing.. Then again neither does that burrito – Tell your boss to make better choices when it comes to food selection, Lol. The scallops look delish – mmm now I want some! Have a great one Laura! -Iva

    • You haven’t?! I’m shocked! It’s one my my go-tos… and it would make a great topping for those chocolate waffles. 😉

Using cocoa powder instead of melting chocolate saves a ridiculous amount of calories, fat, and carbs... and it ADDS protein.
