Don’t get me wrong, it was totally tasty, but I just wasn’t in the mood to eat what I packed for lunch this afternoon. It was a bit of a bummer, but I inhaled the whole thing and powered through because I’m tough. 😀
Salad Time!
Today’s lunch was a big ol’ salad that included:
- Spinach
- Arugula
- Grape tomatoes
- Beets
- Cucumber
- Red pepper
- Green pepper
- Pork tenderloin
- Italian dressing
My favorite part of this salad was the beets. I love ’em!
We've Got the Beet, We've Got the Beet, We've Got the Beeeeeet, Yeah!
Veggies + Pork
So fresh!
PBF: What’s In a Name?
I remember when I began tossing around the idea of starting a blog. I had all sorts of crazy ideas when it came to the name of my blog.
I wanted my blog name to convey a love of food without seeming too overly healthy because, let’s face it, I’m not about to live my life without indulging in mini Oreo cheesecakes, red velvet cake brownies or whipped cream and chocolate wafer cookie stacks.
Plus, would any of you really want to visit www.AsparagusIsDelicious.com? I didn’t think so.
The blog name I initially settled on was “Soft Serve and Cheez-its.” I even created a blog with this name through Blogger, but didn’t post more than once. It just didn’t feel right.
What Could Have Been...
Ryan was actually the one who came up with the name of my blog. He was always catching me in the kitchen with my finger in the peanut butter jar and said I was the queen of peanut butter fingers. When he suggested “Peanut Butter Fingers” as the name of my blog, I was instantly smitten.
Doing What I Do Best
Not only did the name “Peanut Butter Fingers” highlight one of my all-time favorite snacks, but I felt like it also conveyed my laid-back approach to eating. Someone who thinks it’s okay to eat peanut butter straight from the jar using their finger can’t be someone who is rigid about healthy eating or a stickler for diets, right?
And there you have it! The history behind the name of my blog! 😀
Question of the Afternoon
For non-bloggers:
- If you started a blog, what would you name it?
For bloggers:
- How did you select the name of your blog?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
I started my blog because I felt like I needed to change the way I approach my life. I decided I wanted to learn how to live life to the fullest. love myself and others, and laugh as much as possible. So I named my blog learning to live, love, and laugh
I love the blog name “Peanut Butter Fingers”! My favorite way to eat peanut butter is straight from the jar….preferably the very first dig or the ending scrape…somehow those scoops are always best-tasting.
I spent hours trying to think up my blog name. I wanted the name to be personal, witty, and focused on health/wellness, etc.
Therefore I came up with the double entendre “One Gillian Reasons” to Live Well. While I list and number the reasons (hoping to get to one million one day!), I am also reasoning the benefits of good health!
My blog name was insanely easy to think of. At the time that I started my blog I had a habit of eating big meals to the point of getting that big belly–FoodBaby–feeling. And I wanted to play up on my age (and the fact that I get constantly mistaken for a 12 year old).
I love this question and I wondered where your blog name originated! I had a family blog and then went through a divorce. After that I wanted a fresh start so started my blog shy-myliferightnow (because myliferightnow was already taken so had to add to it a bit!) because I am living one day at a time as I adjust to my new life. My blog tells my friends what is going on with me, well, right now. 🙂
its my name… creative, I know 🙂
When choosing the name of my blog I just thought of all the topics I would cover – so I decided on Food, Fitness, & Fun. (Not nearly as interesting as your story.) 😉
Love the story! And “Peanut Butter Fingers” definitely beats “Soft Serve and Cheez-its.” Good choice, my dear…
I first used my name when writing a column for my school newspaper. To me, “Pursuit of Healthfulness” is really meaningful. I’m happiest when I’m healthy, active and energized.
When I began a blog, the name was a natural choice.
I came up with “Amaze Yourself” because I had started to train for a bikini competition and found myself repeatedly telling my bestie/coach how I amazed myself on a daily basis. I wanted to motivate others to do the same. It worked well at the time, but I don’t really like it anymore, since I’m no longer training and making drastic changes, just maintaining…
Mine’s from a Robert Frost Poem called Birches, I just love the poem to pieces but don’t know if it really fits for my blog name, may be changing it up soon.
I named my blog Rock, Paper, Scissors, Life…I wanted it to reflect how easily life can change…with one choice, one decision, everything can go in a multitude of different directions. I think it’s also a perfect hodge-podge of words to indicate the fun happy go lucky and on the go lifestyle my boyfriend (Tyler) and I live. We never know where things are going to take us but we always have a great time!
I named mine NEWtrition. My last name is Newman so it fit perfectly! I wanted to name my blog something with my named tied in there. Most of my friends call me by my last name and I write a healthy living blog- ding ding ding! Now my friends call me Newtrition… much better than Newman 🙂
I love your story! I’m still trying to find the right name for me. I’m going to continue blogging until I find it!
i hope that is your own jar. i was just wondering because you are eating the peanut butter with your fingers.
“Peanut Butter Fingers” is actually from a Season 7 episode of Friends: Monica & Chandler are planning their wedding and she is trying to narrow down the choices for the hors d’oeuvres for the reception. Joey reviews the list and adds to it — she says “what are ‘peanut butter fingers’?” and he mimes the scooping & licking. I recognized the reference right away!
My blog is titled “Bright Lights, Big Kidder” because I like to think of myself as a reluctant grownup!
I love the background of your blog title! Very cool.
Growing up, my older sister always teased me and called me “nerd girl.” I hated the nickname. When I decided to major in chemistry in college, I began to accept my nerdiness (you kind of have to with that degree) and became rather fond of the nickname. I decided to call my blog “A Philly Nerd Girl” since I love the city of Philly and wanted it to mostly reflect all of me if I chose, instead of only one aspect of me.
I love your blog! The title is ingenious.
I first started blogging solely about exercise and food, but then I realized I had so much more in my life that I got excited about: travel, trying new things…and I knew that just exercise and food was not going to cut it, even though they’re a huge portion of my life.
I love assonance, so an A-A name was a no-brainer. I knew I wanted not just my routine, but my pep-talk type of day and willingness to do different things on my blog. I wanted to live every day like an adventure. (And I knew I wanted to show photos of me being generally silly…just because I *am*, and it’s hard to talk about that, too, when I’m so focused on exercise and food.)
Now I’m chattering about it all!
I love your blog! I actually came across it on pinterest because of all the wedding photos (beautiful wedding!).
I started a blog about everything that inspires me and one of the things is a healthy lifestyle. Though it’s still working it’s way up I’m hoping that I can combine my two blogs into one.
The name of my health blog is “OneTwoAHealthyYou”.
I chose this because to me, there are two steps to becoming health; one being making a physical change by exercising and eating right (with still being able to indulge) and two being smile. Smiling is a mental change not everybody realizes. Smiling keeps you going even when days are tough, to help you realize that you are full of potential. So with that I put the two together and voila!
My other blog falls under the name of “Elle a Inspiré”, or she’s inspired in french. It’s something I’ve always lived by and thought I can post things that inspire me or make me smile or that I just find amazing.
I feel that names should represent who you are and what you stand for and I think we’ve both done that very well. I look forward to continue reading!

Completely stumbled on this post through another post of yours and I’d been wondering how you came up with the name! I must say, its such a fun name 🙂 Now, whenever I read, I just want to chow down on some PB lol (Not a bad thing!)

Well, I have a “Fitblr” but I treat it like a blog! I came up with my name from getting the song from that movie “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” stuck in my head for about the 50th time that day (I’ve never even seen it!) I was like, “Well, I’m a teenage health nut. Why don’t I have a song?” and the rest is history. 🙂 I, too, found you on Pinterest and was excited, because Joey Tribbiani from Friends told Monica about peanut butter fingers. 🙂
