Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner...

scrambled eggs with fruit on the side

A typical breakfast seems to be either eggs, or oatmeal- we are falling into a pattern.

For lunch today we were craving peanut butter and jelly. So, here is my improvise:

chop almonds in the food processor

stream in olive oil

To make Almond Butter-

Put almonds in food processor and chop- stream in olive oil until smooth (mine turned out a little runny).

I added a very more almonds in the end, so there would be a little more texture- chunkyness.

I also added a pack of stevia, and some kosher salt

almond butter

mix almond butter with ricotta cheese

sliced strawberries

smoosh them up

spread the almond mixture on rice cake, top with strawberries

Tah Dah! PBJ- in a way...

Enjoy!
