I'm always super excited around here for the release of movies. It's always been fun to have themed movie nights where I create dished inspired by the movie we're watching. One of the last movies we saw was 'Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie' at the drive in movie theater this summer. It was really such a fun kids movie. So, I thought with it about to be released that I would make a Captain Underpants themed treat!

Captain Underpants is perfect for family movie night. It's a film with a lot of heart. I love that the story explores the great friendship between Harold and George and their connection through a love of writing and creativity...

Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles

It never fails. Every year around back-to-school, I get stuck on the notion of PB&Js. In the past, I've made parfaits, oat bars, and even sandwich cookies in the theme of PB&J. This time thought, I wanted to put a spin on an old breakfast classic. The waffle!

Of course, speed and ease are a huge thing with back-to-school. Especially in those first couple of weeks when you're busy getting back into the routine and setting yourself and your kids up for a successful school year. It's a lot of work, mommas. I know it! That's why I wanted to make these Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles...

PB&J Oat Bars

September 1, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, there isn't much that makes me think of back-to-school and childhood other than the flavors of a good peanut butter and jelly. I've never felt inclined to limit PB&J to a mere sandwich though. In fact, one of my most favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter and jelly is in the form of a parfait. Seriously, it's good stuff. I'm a firm believer that you just can't go wrong when you mix the sweet and salty taste pf peanut butter with the tartness of fresh fruits.

Today I wanted to step outside the box even further to make these amazing PB&J Oat Bars. These would make for a perfect snack, an addition to a lunchbox, or even as breakfast; which is how I've been enjoying them all week long! Back-to-school as been crazy and this grab-and-go bar has been exactly what I needed. I've actually enjoyed them so much that I'm planning to make them again next week!...
