Peanut sunflower chia butter

Made this in the vitamix today. I made cinnamon banana pb sandwiches for the kids lunch with it.

I also made a quinoa Italian salad for dinner.

James is in Atlanta this week and I run out of energy in the afternoon so I have been trying to make sure i have dinner ready before that happens.

I have gotten so used to him taking over with the kids when he gets off work at 3 that yesterday was completely exhausting for me. Kuddos to you James for all you sacrifice for our family.
