Peanut Butter & Cottage Jelly Sandwich

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
Did you pose with a tree today? 

Or stop to smell the roses?

At minimum, I hope you used your purse as a grocery bag.

If none of the above, what change did you make to celebrate? 

After today's training session, I ran to Publix to pick up the cottage cheese shown above. I cannot stop eating this stuff. It's good plain, but I've also been adding jam to it. I love peanut butter + jelly, and also love cottage cheese + jelly...so why not mix all three into a sandwich? Sounds totally weird I know, but I had to give it a try.

Using my new favorite peanut butter, Naturally More, and my farmer's market Very Berry Jam, I made one heck of a messy sandwich.

Side one: peanut butter. Side two: cottage cheese + jam.

Mushed together:

Honestly, this was pretty good. It was a sweet + salty + creamy = love combination. But messy it was!

As soon as I made this, I dragged myself, the sandwich, and some leftover sweet potato fries to my bed. Unfortunately, my new Forever 21 purchases became my tablecloth. 
As far as the new goodies are concerned, Forever 21 needs to get a reality check on what a size small is. Ugh! These were trash bags on me. Luckily the blue shirt is 100% cotton so I will be "putting that bitch in hot water" as my roommate suggested, and taking the pink top to be altered. It's too pretty to return. The yellow flower ring appeared to be a lime green color online (like I needed more lime green trash), but it's more like a pale yellow. I still like it. And yes, those are my sheets underneath. If you think they're cute, you can find them here.

Earlier today I tried a another Gnu Bar: Banana Walnut Bar.
Holy mama, I thought I loved the Orange Cranberry flavor, but this one made my heart skip a beat. Just a little beat, not a Lil Wayne kind of beat. The Banana Walnut flavor tastes just like Banana bread straight from the oven. It's a really moist flavor. 
I appreciate you ignoring my chipped nail. It's been a rough week.
If I wasn't driving in the car while eating this, I would have popped it in the microwave to intensify the fresh-baked banana bread sensation...so good. I'd give both of the flavors I've tried a 10+ rating.

What are you ladies and boys up to this weekend? Tomorrow night Ashley (flower girl above) and I plan to get our dirty dancing on. Saturday, we'll probably partake in some more booty grinding, and Sunday will be my first blogger meet up!! Woohoo! We're having brunch in a cafe that's walking distance from my apartment. Yay!! I'll be meeting with 3 other Charleston bloggers. If any of you are interested in joining, please email me at christinaorso@gmail.com. After brunch, Nugget and I, along with some other friends, are going to the Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival. What the heck is this you ask? Don't worry - I just found out. Apparently this is a festival to bless the shrimp boats before the season. Uhhh okay, whatever Charleston, just give me another reason to down Coor's Lights. Thank you so much.

  9. YUM! I l.o.v.e. Naturally More Peanut butter! I can only find it at one store up here (Hannafords). So when I pass one, I make it a point to pull over (no matter how rushed i am!). I love how the flax gives it that little crunch. I'm all about the mini crunch. :)

  16. I love your tree pictures! Why didn't I think of doing that? Cottage cheese is amazing. Although I must say I am completely biased to Breakstone Cottage Cheese. Nothing can beat it. :)
