I wasn't in the mood tonight.
When I got home, I spent some time sulking in our couch, nursing my lethargy. My mind and body just simply refused to get up and do anything, not even to prepare dinner. I even almost threw this whole challenge out the window after I spied the can of Holland cookies on top of the ref. It was that bad.
Then I remembered that I had bought bananas at the neighborhood palengke earlier.
That's it, I need happy food!
And what could complement banana best but peanut butter? (I like Lily's.)

The classic banana and peanut butter combo is just hard to beat. Bananas are rich in essential nutrients including vitamin B6 and potassium, packed with dietary fiber, and available year-round. Peanut butter is a good source of monounsaturated fats (good for the heart), rich in antioxidants, and helps you stay slim. It is also good for removing gum from your hair.
The sweetness of the banana plus the comforting smell of peanut butter instantly lifted my spirits up! I made a mental note to include this in my list of go-to foods to ward off serious cravings during that time of the month.
