For lunch I had a PB&J on whole wheat with veggies and hummus for dipping on the side. Just for the record I packed this up yesterday before I knew about the holiday today... PB just calls to me =).


Snacking was excellent and creative if I do say so!

I made a parfait with greek yogurt, banana, wheat germ and the reminisce of my strawberry fruit spread in the jar, so good and no waste!

  4. I still have never tried tofu or tahini on its own (only in hummus). Speaking of never had, I've never had wheat germ either! Is that similar to oat bran??
