Time for the weekly day-of-eats post thanks to Jenn!
Breakfast, at work: 
Sunday night I followed this recipe pretty loosely and made an apple pear crisp. I took a serving of it to work, reheated it and topped it with greek yogurt. A really different, delicious breakfast.
Snack:
Banana with peanut butter I got in the mail – it’s called cinnamon raisin granola nut, but doesn’t have half the flavor of my beloved PB & Co.
Lunch:
Recycled photo, but it was one of these lentil, brown rice, and cheese stuffed peppers with tomato sauce. 
Snack: unpictured honeycrisp – so good!
Dinner: The birthday celebration! Unpictured – red wine while mingling with the more than 100 guests at my uncle’s beautiful house.
A sushi spread! Avocado and cucumber rolls and one spicy California type roll. I may have had about 20 bites while arranging them on the tray (and no I didn’t make it, just picked it up from the restaurant)!
Dinner was a mixture of some of the Claire-friendly dishes on the buffet:
Israeli couscous with scallops, penne with shrimp, salad, and fruit… and LOTS of dessert.
I skipped the cupcake tower in favor of the cupcakes my Aunt brought:
Do they look familiar? Just as delicious as you’d expect!
I ended the night with a small piece of birthday cake:
Happy birthday, Nana!
I absolutely love PB & Co! I found them about a year ago, and now I never eat any other kind.

Oh my gosh, you have to visit the store in New York City – it’s adorable!
I want to badly! I’ve got a girls trip to NYC scheduled next year for my 30th birthday, and I’ve already put that shop at the top of the list!

Holy moly your food looks awesome. I am in love with the stuffed peppers (they are a big weakness of mine actually!)

Definitely a comfort food!
My eyes quite literally lit up when I saw that giant sushi platter! Holy crap, now I need sushi. Looks like a great day of eats!

I would love to go to a party with a sushi tray. Yum. And I definitely pinned those cupcakes when Jess posted the recipe- they look so good.
I love your grandmother’s leopard print top!

I am so curious about that peanut butter, but considering how much I am making already, I hesitate to buy it.
I think the Cinnamon Raisin PB&Co. (although hard for me to find, for some reason) is delicious, so I think I’d rather invest my money in that.
After an impulse buy on an excessive amount of peppers at Costco, maybe I should STUFF some of them…I love the idea of using lentils. I definitely don’t use lentils enough. [Actually, lately, I don't feel like I'm even cooking enough in general.]

That apple pear crisp looks incredible! The ingredients will definitely be going on my grocery list.
A big happy birthday to your grandma!
95? Wowzas. That’s awesome! & I need to make stuffed peppers soon.

I saw that PB at Target the other day and was tempted to buy it, but I’m sad it’s not as good as PB&co

I keep hearing iffy reviews of that PB. I already have 3 jars of PB Crave so I don’t feel like I need to try it for now. But PB w/banana can’t be beat! Looks like a way yum food spread at the party. Red wine, ahhh my good friend
you and your nana are so cute!

I am not at all a fan of PB Crave actually – I’ll trade ya for PB & Co!
Happy birthday to your Nana! It looks like it was a WONDERFUL day
Hope you had a great weekend Claire!
Thanks, Sara! We’re lucky to have her!
