This Girl's lazy dinner

I was supposed to make leftover tonight. But I didn't. My girlfriend had the brilliant idea of going on a walk today. Which is something we normally do, but its sooo hot. I didn't want to go, I wanted to stay home, play with the baby, take a nap, make some jewelry or really just do nothing at all.
Alas, my friend is a determined little bugger, so we went.
It was pretty, and shaded. But still sooooo hot.
 The blackberry bushes were in full bloom. The harvest will be bountiful this year, and I could care less. Its too hot.

When I got home, sweaty, stinky and gross, I went to pay homage to the air conditioner and suddenly I was hit with a wave of hunger. I needed to eat and I needed to eat now.

You don't know ravenous hunger until you've breastfed a baby. There is a difference between pregnancy hunger and breastfeeding hunger. If at any point during this angry zombie like state you get between me and food...you don't even want to know.

It was too hot to turn on the burner and heat leftover spaghetti, plus that required a certain amount of effort I was not willing to devote to my dinner.
So I went to an old stand by.


 Good old Jif Peanut butter, Zoi vanilla Greek yogurt (the one with all the fatty goodness in it) and a banana. Sadly this banana was a little too ripe.
"A little too ripe" you say, astonished. "Why its hardly just turned yellow!"
Why yes, you are correct. It has hardly just turned yellow, and that's too ripe. Green! I love Green Bananas! They are firm, they are strong, they are hard...get your mind out of the gutter.
Anyway, begrudgingly I survived without a green banana.

Now what I do with it bewilders my father. He thinks its pretty uncouth and will cringe at me every time I sit down with my little bowl of goodness. And it's not just the green banana thing that I have but how I put it all together.



 Place desired amount of yogurt into the bowl.

Scrape the bottom of the peanut butter jar and collect desired amount of peanut butter.
When there are two kids eating solid foods and three adults, there is always scraping the bottom of the peanut butter jar. 
Add peanut butter to your bowl...and mix.


It looks like this. Yummy!

Buy wait, there's more!
Add the banana! 
I meant to take a pretty picture of the banana all sliced on top, but I was hungry and I began to eat. Nom, nom, nom. 
Oh yeah...that's the stuff...
I am sure there is someone who could go off on the healthfulness of this dinner, one way or another. 
I like it cause its tasty, it fills me up and no heat required. 
Its a lazy dinner for a hot and lazy day. I feel better now, full and happy and very very sleepy. *yawn*stretch*

 But the baby is asleep and there is work to be done...
