Hey my Cookie Crisps! 
Thank you for all of your comments on my Oatmeal creation!  It really means a lot to me that you guys take the time to comment. Also, thank you for voting on which recipe you want next. I think it will either be the Walnut Almond Butter or the Protein Granola Bars. No worries. Neapolitan Ice Cream will come too!
Mellie @ ReadEatAndMove gave me this award!
You know how much I love the word Amazing. My Dad kids me about it all of the time. He’ll say, “I’m Uh-maze-zing!” and then I’ll counter with, “No, I’M Amazing!” and it will go on and on. We’ll finally settle it that he can be Awesome and I can be Amazing.  What can I say? I girl’s always right! 
I feel so honored. In order to accept, I have to answer the following questions:
1. Favorite cartoon character: I love SHANG from Mulan. I’ll make a man – out of you!
2. Favorite thing to photograph: FOOD!! 
I love to take pictures of it.
Peanut Buttah is the BEST on Banana Bread.
3. Favorite thing to Cook:Â I’m more of a baker, but I really love to bake cookies. Though, right now, I’m having fun with some protein granola bars.
This picture was taken only a couple of hours after I made that first batch. My mom and I were the only ones at home at the time. It was dee-lish-cious.
4. Favorite way to Exercise: I like my intense workout videos (remember my stash?). I just got some NEW ONES — some of Jillian’s videos the other day: her Shred It, No More Trouble Zones, and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVDs.
I have yet to try the latter two, but I am really enjoying the Shred It! There are 3 Levels, with each level only 20 minute long, but you REALLY feel it! I love her 3-2-1 circuits: 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, and 1 minute abs. I can’t wait to try the other two!
5. Favorite Movies: Some of my favorite movies are The Swan Princess (my sister and I know this movie by heart! I love singing along with it with her), Mulan, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, The Chronicles of Narnia 1, 2, & 3, Liberty Kids (you have no idea how many episodes I’ve seen of these….. I’m not even kidding), One Night With The King, The Muppet’s Treasure Island (my favorite version of it EVER!), Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice (DARCY!), and SO many more.
6. Clothing:Â Right now I am loving HEELS! I just got some last week and I LOVE THEM! I’ve had many a wedge (some REALLY high), but never heels (unless you count those big chunky heels on some of those shoes for little girls, like these. They show them at 37 seconds into the clip).
7. Flower: I don’t know if I have a favorite flower. I love drawing tulips. Though, I do like the smell of Japanese Cherry Blossoms!
8. Breakfast: Right now, I’m thinking of some PANCAKES! Though, I had some oatmeal this morning anyways…. Maybe dinner?
9. Book:Â Right now I’m reading Pride and Prejudice. DARCY! awwweee.
10. What is your least favorite food? I just can’t stand raw tomatoes. I can eat them cooked, but not raw. I can bear them on sandwiches, but never on a salad.
Well, she didn’t say how many people to tag, so here I go!
Green Food, Green Thumb, High Heels
Where Did You Get That Lovely Spatula?
You guys are AMAZING!!!
I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS! I figured out that my Initials spell an acronym that fits me perfectly: KAB — Kat’s Always Baking!, which, if you ask anyone, IS definitely true. After my ”discovery” of this fact last night, I raced down the stairs, ran into my parent’s bedroom, and exclaimed to my mom, “ KAB! Kat’s Always Baking!!!!” You know what she did? She rolled her eyes at me.
Well, I’m not surprised. I am a little crazy.
Have you ever had Peanut Butter on Banana Bread? I LOVE IT!
Did you ever watch The Muppet’s? My favorite one is the Treasure Island one — especially all of the songs in it!
What is your favorite form of exercise? When we still had the gym membership, my favorite way was the elliptical and strength training. Now, I love my workout videos.
xoxox
Haha I haven’t touched any of my Jillian Michaels dvds in so long! I love how much you love baking- everything you make looks so yummy! My favorite way to workout is swimming and favorite exercise is hiking (kind of a difference between exercise and a workout!?). I love almost any form of exercise though!
I used to watch Muppets and no, I’ve never had PB on banana bread but I have mixed it into the batter before.
Kat-you REALLY are incredible! I cannot believe you listed all of the blogs. You are a bundle of LOVE.
Aww you are the SWEETEST girl KAB (love the acronym btw!

AWWW! You are so sweet Kat! Thanks for linking me!
You are amazing!
Thanks girl!
peanut butter on apple cinnamon bread is really good too!
hahah my initials…CGO…I got nothin’
I love raw tomatoes
Specially when you sprinkle it w/ S&P and then eat it with a little mozzarella cheese and basil!
My least favorite food would have to be…well that’s really hard because I love ALL real food ( I could name a bunch of processed food that I don’t like) but I guess I don’t really like GAH nevermind I can’t think of one!
I don’t think I have ever tried apple cinnamon bread! Do you have a recipe?
I shouldn’t have left you hanging! Here you go!
http://notthenormalteenagefare.blogspot.com/2011/06/whole-wheat-apple-walnut-flax-bread-w.html

KAB – yes, that totally works, and yes PB on banana bread is the best.
Favorite form of exercise is yoga.
Thanks for the tag Kat. So sweet.
P.S. I love your red shoes and Mr. Darcy as well.
Haha, Darcy is AMAZING!
I love yoga! 
What is your favorite pose? I like the dolphin planks — they really work the core! 
You are too cute! Love these answers – heels?! Yikes – your one up on me.
I SO want to find the Little Mermaid and watch it again. The Lion King too – it’s been so long.
Pride and Prejudice? Hard-core reading! Awesome
I’ve seen SO many versions of Pride and Prejudice, I figured it was time to read it!
I am REALLY loving it! It’s as if I’m watching it. Oh my gosh. Lion King is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love love LOVE that movie!
Hahahaha holy balls that is a lot of tagging! I will have to do this. Thanks. Those granola bars look incredible.
Thanks for the tag girl! I have never had PB on banana bread before but I need to asap!! Sounds delicious
Thanks for the tag! I love the KAB acronym, what is your middle name?
Alice. It’s my Grandma’s name and her Grandmother’s before her. I get to pass it on.
I love, love, love Pride and Prejudice! I will never get sick of that novel (or the movies)!
Many thanks for the tag, sweetie! You rock and I can’t get enough of your positivity. *HUGS*
Thank you so much for the tag! I love the acronym! I would be LEA – Lauren Eats Avocados! =)
I used to have the 30 day shred, but when I moved I gave it to a friend. Such a great workout! My favorite gym work out is definitely the elliptical. Feels so good on my joints.
I really enjoy it so far. Have you tried any of her other workouts?

Thanks for tagging me!!
And I have to say..peanut butter and banana bread is ammazzzinng!
Haha! How cute are you for listing everybody? SUCH a sweetheart, and thank you for remembering me too <3
I've never had PB on banana bread, but that's because I'm allergic
AB on banana bread, though… I'm SO down with that. Deeee-licious. And the Muppets are fantastic! I loved the Muppets Christmast Carol, and I still pull it out every year around Christmas time 
The Muppet’s Christmas Carol is my other favorite Muppets!!! Almond Butter is good! YUM! Girl, I would never forget you! You are AMAZING!
Thanks for tagging me! I love the acronym
I’ve definitely had peanut butter on banana bread- it is AMAZING! Especially with cinnamon on top!
Cinnamon?! NOW YOU’RE TALKING!
You totally deserve this award! I love heels, too!
PB on banana bread is the best. Actually, anything on banana bread is great.
ALSO, OMG I <3 P&P. IT'S THE BEST.
What’s P&P?
Pride and Prejudice, silly!
Oh gosh. Of course! I should have known that.
Awesome post!
Peanut butter is amazing with everything! hahaha
Guess what recipe of yours I just made??? Single lady banana cream pie!!! Deelicious!
No way! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad that you like them!!! That totally made my day.
Woah my gosh! Thank you for tagging me, that must’ve taken some serious time! It’s okay, my baked goods disappear within hours too
Oopsy!
Wow I’m the exact opposite I love raw tomatoes but I cannot stand them cooked in any except pasta (not spaghetti)
Well, I know you don’t like cooked fruit! I prefer it raw too! We can be TWINS that way! ;) Does Deme like raw tomatoes?
He only likes them in sandwiches nothing else. So I just learned something knew about him!
I love banana bread! It’s so good, but I’ve never had it with PB. My favorite form of exercise – it’s hard to pick. I love the elliptical, horseback riding, and just walking around for miles.
Btw, did you get my last email?
dang girl, you read a lot of blogs! I feel lucky to be included among them. Also – I love acronyms. I just realized that my daughter’s spell ABU…like the monkey in Aladdin. Funny stuff.
Awwwweeeee!!!! ABU! That is so AMAZING!
Kat, I love that you tagged everyone, but now there is no one for me to tag!! Lol. I’ll do this tonight because I didn’t have anything planned for a post. Thanks for tagging me!
My favorite way to exercise is running. I miss it so much!! Sometimes I get tears in my eyes when I think about how excited I am to return to it.. it’s my passion for sure!
You got hurt? Is that why you’re wear that knee brace or something?
Woha, thank you for tagging me
Just love all those songs!
(
Love that you like Disney so much- Im the same! Mulan is a great movie. And Hercules
And banana peanut bread sounds soo good- never tried it
HERCULES! My favorite song is I Won’t Say I’m In Love. Best song EVER! Do you have a favorite song?
I love that song too! And Sero to Hero
Always listens to it while i clean my apartment, makes it so much more fun 
But really, all Disney songs are great! I cant chose one favorit!
I am TOTALLY with you!!! Disney songs are the BEST!!!
Whoot whoot for Disney Song lovers! 
Thanks for tagging me girl! All those tags must have taken forever! Thats some dedication right there lol!
Those protein bars look delish! Can’t wait for the recipe!
omg, WOW you tagged like everybody!! ahahaa and that’s so fun about your initials;) I LOVE peanut butter + banana bread..seriously the most amazing combo ever! Thanks for tagging me, I can’t wait to fill this out:)
Peanut butter on banana bread is pure sexyinmymouth! Haha, okay — maybe that’s a little graphic!
You’ve gotten the gears in my head a’turnin’ tho — banana bread with peanut butter baked right in? I might have to do that soon!
Oh yum! Peanut Butter IN the Banana Bread would be even BETTER!
You totally deserve that bloggie award!!
Thanks for the great list of blogs – im going to make it my mission to visit them ALL!!
I really love your heels collection
And Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are definitely a really good movies 
)
I have never seen the Muppet´s..I think that show didn´t make it to the the Czech Republic
I love workout videos, I have tons of them (more than 100), but I have a pair of favourites that I use pretty often and the others are just collecting the dust
Whoh! Over 100?! Girl, you have a STASH! Man, I am so jealous.
I LOVE Pilates! What kind do you use? I like Winsor myself.
Winsor is great, I really feel it works every muscle in my body! I also did the Rael system, which is also a great workout.
I don’t like raw tomatoes either! Ick!
I’m so glad to know someone who feels the same way I do about raw tomatoes!
I love running, but my right knee doesn’t.
I’m definitely an elliptical girl! I also have become to love strength training. Thanks for tagging me!
I LOVE Jillian Michaels! If you like her 30 day shred (which I do too), you will LOVE her other DVD’s. Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism is about 45 minutes and seriously intense. I just did that one for the first in a month or so. Every time I do it, I am a sweaty mess by the end of it.
I am kind of like onions the way you are with tomatoes. I ove onions when they are cooked ot grilled . . . on sandwiches, taco salads, or pasta. And of course onion rings! But I HATE them raw. No thank you.
I’m so glad that you have tried that Banish Fat DVD. I can’t wait to try it! I can handle raw onions on a salad, but other than that, I like them cooked to! Sauteed onions are so GOOD!
xoxox, Kathleen

Thanks for the tag, my dear! And girl, I was alllll about the Muppets! My favorite was The Great Muppet Caper, and we can’t forget the Muppet Babies cartoon!
Haha…..love how many blogs you tagged! So funny
Mmm….peanut butter on banana bread is amazing! And inside banana bread is just as good!
PB on banana bread?!? Why have I never tried this before!
Love your shoe collection and Jillian’s workouts kick butt! I like her yoga meltdown one too.
I have Bob’s Yoga Workout, but not Jillian’s. Is it pretty intense?
Yeah! It’s one of the few yoga videos that actually makes me sweat
Fav form of exercise. Running, running and more running.
Kat, look at all those people you nominated! I can’t wait to do this thank you for nominating me
Love the muppets, my dad and I used to watch it all the time.
I love running!
Do you prefer to run outside or on a treadmill?

oh my – thank you SO MUCH GIRL! you are such a special young woman, WOW God has so many amazing plans for you!!
Your comment was so freakin sweet, it made my heart smile sooooo much. youre wonderful, thank you for being so encouraging and AWESOME! love you girl!
My initials are KMB! So “Kayla Makes Bread” or “Kneading More Bread” or “Kayla Miss Baker” hahaha, so fun!
I really really really want to get some of Jillian’s DVDs, I have never done one!
SO cute!
I love it!
you really need to try the jackie warner dvds! So good!
Awww thanks! Your red heels are the cutest
Pretty please post a recipe for those granola bars!!!!! I also love the Pride and Prejudice movie.
Thanks for putting me on your list
I think you’re amazing! Love your answers! I love Pride and Prejudice…the book and the movie! I love the Muppets. The Muppets Take Manhattan is my favorite! Peanut butter and banana bread were made for each other! YUM!
Haha, The Muppets Take Manhattan is SO cute!
I have been obsessed with banana bread lately but I’ve never tried it with PB!!
Jessica, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!!!! Peanut Butter on Banana Bread is AMAZING! You will NEVER turn back!!
Thanks for tagging me! It was great to get to know you a bit more
Hehe, those granola bars do sound delicious! Are you posting the recipe soon?
I love Jillian too. No More Trouble Zones is pretty awesome. I like that it’s an hour and it’s well balanced between crazy intense and then a little more relaxing (but still affective!).
Happy 4th!
I have all of those Jillian Michael’s DVDs and each one leaves me a sweaty mess. She never fails to kick your butt.
Now which version of Pride and Prejudice? I love the artistic settings and music of the Keira Knightly version. But the A&E mini series with Colin Firth (as Darcy) makes my heart beat! Do you like any other Jane Austen? I’ve read all her novels and watched a variety of the movies but P&P will always be my favorite!
I love every version of Pride and Prejudice that I’ve seen! But, my favorite is Keira Knightley — probably because of that last scene where Darcy is walking towards Elizabeth.
I know all of the stories through movies, but I’ve yet to read all of the novels (P&P is the first one I’m reading). I really like Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion. Emma’s good too! How about you?
