This week is officially “update the blog week” for Peanut Butter Fingers.
I’ve been meaning to update some of the pages on this blog for quite some time, so each day this week I’ll be allocating some time to updating various pages. The recipe pages definitely need my attention since they haven’t been updated in far too long!
Today I updated the following pages:
The travel page is rather self-explanatory and simply highlights my travels, but the Orlando & Florida Travel page is a little more detailed. My hope is that the page will act as a decent resource for those of you who have emailed me in the past looking for restaurant or activity recommendations in my home state (and, specifically, Orlando).
More updates to come!
Dinner
Dinner tonight began with the roasting of broccoli, Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes.
With the vegetables roasting away in the oven, I knew I had the base of my meal covered and opened the fridge in search of a source of protein.
I chopped up a few al fresco chicken sausages and sautéed them on the stovetop before adding them to the roasted veggies and calling it a meal.
So simple and so colorful!
Off to watch The Bachelorette! I love yelling out a Bachelorette countdown to Ryan as though he cares.
Four minutes!!!
Also, for my fellow Bachelorette and food blog-reading fans, apparently super-sweet bachelor Sean’s sister has a food blog, which you may see here: Mix and Match Mama. Neat, huh?
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
I’m not a bachelorette viewer, but that food blog does look like it has some good recipes!
Jaren@Kiwi Fit Blog says
We are roasting veggies tonight!! So good!

I love the travel page!! As a newish resident to Orlando it has been super helpful. More than once I’ve referred to your restaurant suggestions and they’ve been awesome 🙂
Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction says

That picture made my tummy grumble! Wish I was having that for dinner! Please updated on the show…I don’t have TV….newlyweds….lol

Hahaha oh my gosh I love the countdown 🙂 My boyfriend is currently watching the NJ-LA hockey game… I’m not sure if I’m gonna get to catch up with Ms. Maynard tonight. 😉
Suzanne @ Fit Minded Mom says
I love me some Bachelorette so I will be watching tonight for sure. I DVR it because I like to be able to skip through the commercials!
Your blog twin as I think I have heard you refer to her as(Sweet Tooth Sweet Life) also made a sausage meal for dinner tonight!! They say twins can sense what the other is doing even when distanced from one another, lol!!!
Alyssa @ fit and fun in third says
I’m watching now, and Sean is the CUTEST!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I need to institute an update the blog week too!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I hate that I have to wait until the next evening to watch Bachelorette on Hulu! Haha it’s especially worse for the final rose ceremony, it’s impossible not to find out who was chosen!
Kirstie @ Musings of a Happy Life says
I love the travel pages 😀 My husband and I are planning a trip to Florida next year. I can’t wait even more now!!
Mary @ have the world on a string says
I roasted Brussels sprouts tonight too! But I didn’t take the time to blanch them and they were a bit crunchy. Do you do anything to yours before they hit he oven?
Lindsay @ FuelMyFamily says
I make this dinner all the time. Simple, fresh, and healthy. I just cut up the chicken sausage and roast it along with the veggies though, one less dish to wash 🙂
Val @ Tips on Healthy Living says
Roasted veggies are the best — especially brussel sprouts. Love them. What do you put on them when you roast them? I usually drizzle some olive oil and whatever fresh herbs I’ve got around.
Molly from LifesLemons says
Dang..I read this too late. Bachelorette is over. I need help reminding.
Christina says
Roasted veggies are amazing. Love, love, love them! I am not a big fan of the bachelorette. Don’t hate on me but Im reading a book called The Selection that is similar to the bachelorette. Have a great night 🙂
Aubree says

Sarah says
Thought I should let you know in case you already didn’t. Tomorrow is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!
Liz says
How long do you roast your veggies for? I always overcook mine. I’m still learning! Ha!
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
That’s awesome! Sean is my current favorite 🙂 I’m really looking forward to the Bachelorette, but I think I’m going to have to wait til tomorrow to watch it on DVR.
Tara says
Last week I did a meal with roasted sweet potatoes, brussels, and broccoli…sooo good, that combo will never get old! I love that you do a countdown…I do one with my fiance too, but he actually LIKES to watch it with me, he is out of town for the next two weeks and just before the show started I got a text asking for me to wait to watch the show with him 🙂
Emily Butler @EmilysHomestead says
hm chicken sausage, my favorite! I tell people about chicken sausage all the time and they cringe like it’s some dull health food or something, ug!
Rebecca @ Miss Magnolia Munches & Moves says
There is something about brussels sprouts and sweet potato together that is perfect! I love them roasted with runny eggs on top drizzled with a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar.
Angela says
I stumbled across Sean’s sister’s blog the other day and am addicted to both her personal and food blogs! She is so cute!! I am so on Team Sean! 🙂
Shay says
Hey! I’m the Mix and Match Mama (a.k.a. Sean’s sister). Thanks for mentioning my foodie blog. All foodie bloggers are the best! Have fun watching The Bachelorette :). Love your blog!
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Wow, thanks for the timely dinner idea! I only have a little time between work and a class tonight and couldn’t figure out what to have for dinner. Just so happens that I have leftover roasted veggies in the fridge and chicken sausage in the freezer! I would never have thought to combine the two!
