Problem: I like to eat A LOT of food.
Solution: Put your put sad ol’ frozen meal on a BIG bed of lettuce and hummus. Also, pair with crackers Don’t show crackers on blog as the number of them consumed will horrify healthy readers.
Problem: I had an almost empty nut butter jar, but am not the biggest fan of oats.
Solution: Eat cereal in a jar instead! This rocked.
Refill until nut butter and/or cereal is gone
Problem: I am a dork.
Solution: Sorry, still trying to think of one. Also still trying to think of a reason I was doing the pledge of allegiance in my kitchen this afternoon…
Problem: I am fresh out of Vitatops.
Solution: Chop up a chocolate bar, put it on a piece of PB toast and melt.
Got any problems you need me to solve? I’m on a roll…

Dear Monica, holy eff. Cereal in a pb jar. I have tears in my eyes. Sincerely, Julia

Thanks, now I need to get my hands on another jar…
Amanda says
I just realized that I am out of vita tops as well….. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ali says
Eating cereal out of an almost empty peanut butter jar… now that’s an idea!
Jess says
Haha, I’ll toss pretty much anything on top of a bed or romaine in order to bulk it up. Sometimes volume matters 🙂
Oat bran in nut butter jars is also tasty!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
When I am “over” overnight oats, I add pudding to the jar. Yep. Pudding.
Amber K says
I always have to eat a frozen dinner on the side of a HUGE side salad. Salads of epic proportions are the only reason I am not constantly eating. Yum!
Gina @ running to the kitchen says
How about the problem of that Almond butter taking forever to stir and mix up the first time you open it?
Lindsey @ Happy or Hungry says
Cereal in a jar?! PB + melted chocolate on toast?! GENIUS.
Carrie @ TV and Dinners says
Cereal in a nut butter jar? Girl, that solves ALL problems. I think I need to go home and eat the cup of almond butter left in my jar so I can try that. Hmm.
Abby says
I’m fresh out of vitatops, too! Unfortunately, I don’t have any chocolate bars, either. 🙁
rumfunandsun says
Being a dork is genetic, I should know….blame your parents!
I think you were simply saluting the end of the jar of almond butter!

Good morning
Ha, didn’t you received a supply of Vitas maybe a couple weeks back? I can’t remember how many, but still, lol, too funny.
I want you to be my bestie due to our common love for summer season fruit and because of our diversity – with your Mexican flava and my Native attitude, I think we would be a riot at parties, haha.
Is there any chance I can lure you to Canada with Watermelon? I bought 3 massive ‘melons yesterday for a BBQ today. I can also promise hospitality and entertainment. This weekend is my communities pow wow and our cuisine specialty is “Indian Tacos” – which is just chili or meat sauce topped with fixings of choice that sits on top a homemade piece of fry bread. Haha, don’t you just love cultural appropriation? Sometimes something very beautiful can come out of cultural highjacking 😛
Think about my offer 🙂
Oh yeah, you make cutting watermelon look too easy. I almost lost a few fingers, but then again eating ‘melon when your trying to hack it to pieces is dangerous. I want watermelon in or around my face, now.
*Yes, I realize I’m prolly making a fool out of myself now – word.
runeatrepeat says
Busted! I totally got the biggest supply of Vitas recently.
But, I gave a bunch to my mom because I was eating them 3 at a time…
Liz says
I have tried overnight oats twice, and I think they are so disgusting…I gagged! The cereal looks awesome in the jar. That I will have to try!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Not a big fan of oats!? OH MY LANTA!
I’m loving your solution for the Vitatop 😉 (Chopped up chocolate bars would be my solution to all of the above)
katie says
Problem – I need to stop buying cereal, meaning puffins specifically, I can eat the box in a day
So addicting!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Haha. Very patriotic!
cathy says
if you get any questions that really stump you, you can always bring back the magic 8 ball!!
love the cold cereal in the pb jar – pure genius.
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
Problem: The weekend is only 2 days long. Solutions?
I LOVE the chocolate pb toast idea. You are a genius.
