Dysfunctional Chef: Peanut Butter Jones
As I am about to head up to Rowe, Massachusetts this morning to teach my weekend workshop entitled “Feed Your Soul: Change Your Weight,” and I am thinking, “What can I pack for the train ride? For lunch, for a snack?”
As you know (and maybe resist doing???), being prepared is a an important aspect to healthy weight management, and I am happy to report that I have a good deal of ingredients on hand! I am prepared!!! Glory Be.
I have some grapes, oranges, apples ready to go! And after I post this delish blog-post, I am going to whip up one or two Banana Roll-Ups. A major 5 yum happening!
Join with? The banana rolls and/or the workshop (There’s still time! It ain’t over till it’s over!)!
