That last picture of the sandwich is BEAUTIFUL!
I used to have a real addiction to peanut butter but it has faded in the last year. Your yummy posts might just bring it back!
Tina said

All I have to say is WOW!
Peanut butter and bananas are meant to be eaten together

This sandwich looks dangerous, like I could knock back a few of them. I’m starting to think peanut butter is my drug of choice.
Anyways, I just found your blog and wish you would post more, because it’s great! As a sometimes vegan, your posts help me realize that eating vegan is more realistic and easier than I thought.
