Good morning!
Gosh, I’m in a great mood. I drank a delicious green monster for breakfast, went to coffee with a really cute boy and am currently baking banana bread. And its only 8:30! 
Life is good.
In my smoothie went a frozen banana, spinach, 1 cup almond milk, 1 T peanut butter, 1 scoop chocolate amazing meal and some ice. Felt good to drink my greens after such an indulgent weekend!
My house smells aaaamazing right now with the banana bread in the oven. My favorite recipe of all time is Tessa Kiros’ recipe out of the Apples for Jam cookbook. I’ve experimented with so many different banana bread recipes and always come back to this. It uses a touch of butter, a ton of cinnamon and dark brown sugar. So, so good.
I’m about to get ready and head to the studio to work the desk for a few hours then come back, go for a bike ride and work on some editing.
I’m going on SPRING BREAK on Thursday (aka going to the Lowcountry for a week)…clearly I think I’m still in college or something.

I still call it Easter Holidays (Brit version of Spring Break) and it’s been *cough*thirteen years*cough* since I was in college!
I finally tried the “Amazing grass” and yes it is amazing. I love it. I probably speak for many people when I say this: Jenna, thank you for sharing your good eats, your contagious spunky personality and your life. You truly inspire me to EAT, LIVE, RUN ! Love ya !
The weather is going to be awesome here (Charleston) this weekend! Hope you are coming here! Would be great to run into you around town!
Sounds like a great morning! How many bananas do you put in a batch of banana bread? I put in an extra one (3 total) so it’s super banana-licious
Wow you’ve done a lot this morning! I cannot wait to run to the store to get some soy milk so I can make a GM tonight!
Yay for great moods on a Monday! And for coffee with cute boys! And for vacay!
Mmm…banana bread is SO good!
cute boy + coffee is the perfect way to start out a day
I adore banana bread! And cute boy? Can’t get better.
Life IS good, as is Spring Break, enjoy yourself after Thursday!
Oh that sounds like such a dreamy morning…what I would do to go out for coffee witha cute boy!
I still call in Spring Break even though I graduated in May 2008. I think vacations in the spring will always be ‘Spring Break WhooHoo!’
girl you’ve been busy this morning! i love how baking makes the whole house smell incredible
can’t wait to see the finished product!
Coffee + cute boy = bliss. And now baking? What a day…
We should all still get spring break! I think it would make everyone so much more productive
All looks so refreshing!

there’s no better smell than banana bread being baked!
I LOVE the smell of homemade banana bread! Theres just nothing like it!
I’d love to have a mandatory spring break!
It’s nice to find a tried and true recipe, especially for something that can really vary in its tastiness, like banana bread! It’s so nice to have days that get off to such a great start — I’m glad you’re having one of those days!
Coffee with a cute boy!? You KNOW that’s going to get some curious comments
Jenna, do you think you’d ever like to teach? I was just wondering b/c of the spring break comment…when you teach, it’s kind of like you’re a student b/c you still get all the breaks they do
Banana bread is my version of comfort food~ I love adding walnuts and chocolate chips too! Amazing~!!
I don’t know if my comment ever went through before(my work computer is slower than molasses) but I was hoping before you left California for good in May or June you might want to do a meet up with local bloggers and readers…I am both! Have a great week! I’m a teacher and a grad student so Spring Break is still and always will be AWESOME
my spring break is starting trhis friday too-it is nice to be a teacher becasue you do relive your youth on vacations. could not imagine not having vacations to look forward to.
i think i can smell your banana bread baking
where is the lowcountry?
Yay for cute boys!!.. What time do you wake up?! I wish I was a morning person!!
cute boy & coffee? perfect combo!
haha
Happy spring break to you!
Spring Break still sounds cool to me since it has the word ‘spring’ in it and that means that the winter is over!!!
LOVE the green monster in a wine glass idea!
I am so happy that you are in a good mood!! I woke up UBER late for work today and came in early to a not so happy boss!! aaarrrrgggg bad bad way to start my monday!!
Oh well it happens!
Glad your day is good and yes LIFE IS GOOD!!! I have to remind myself of that sometimes but it really and truely is GOOD
Cute boy? Details please!
I would kill for Spring break right now! I was traveling for work last week and the airports were a zoo full of college kids heading off to warm places… le sigh!
Sounds like THE perfect morning
What a killer start to your day! I’m a little envious, as my morning involved an early rising for work, a head filled with snot, and no cute boys. Banana bread is the best way to sweeten the aroma of a household! Thanks for the recipe recommendation. Enjoy the rest of your blissful day!
So nice when you get to start a monday loving life! enjoy it!
Cute boy! It sounds like your morning is going wonderfully
Cute boy?!?! Ooh, who? Who? =D
xo

Nothing beats the smell of banana bread baking….sounds like a good morning to me!!
Aww, coffee with a cute boy is the best kind.
I really need to try that green drink you make often! I’ve just gotten into blending up drinks. My favorite is chocolate peanut butter banana……I should start adding some greens! I also want to say that I’m kind of new to your blog, and was reading through older posts. I’m currently going through relationship woes (bf and live-in boyfriend of two years bought a house while I was working in Belize and invited two of his friends to live there without asking me!) and it was nice to read how you made it through your own relationship woes:)
ooh, that banana bread totally sounds amazing. Love dark brown sugar:)
Hope to hear more deets on the cute boy. haha. Have fun on spring break. so jealous!
so why a frozen banana in your smoothie? does that make a difference?
Are you still dating Adam?!? Is that who cute boy is?! Details!
Oh Jenna! You know not to mention a boy on this blog cause us readers will go ape crazy!
If your spring break takes you anywhere near Charlotte, you better come visit!
Sounds like a wonderful wonderful Monday morning. Wish I could say mine was that good. You’ve been so good about keeping this cute boy a secret ; )
Awww a cute boy
?
Getting back on track after indulging is always a good feeling. That’s what I’m doing today.
haha what a morning!! Have a great day girl
I want to know more about the cute boy!!
Sounds like a great start to your day! When is this cute boy going to make an appearance on the blog?
I am just being nosey! Eating healthy always does feel even better after some indulgences. 
That is a busy morning! Smoothie looks heavenly and so does that banana bread. I love fresh out of the oven banana bread! YUM
Checking in! Enjoy your “spring break” – I’m about to start my Easter break from college.
Post pics of the bread!! Ugh – I ate way too many caramel mini cup-cakes after work …and now feel super icky and mad (it was on a whim – as usual)…I hate that I do that because it’s not just “Every now and then” – at least the food you eat is quality and not just sugar crap!!
Boo. Have a great day.
LOVE your smoothie cup!
What is better than coffee with a cute boy and banana bread
I LOVE banana bread. Waiting for the pic!
You are so precious. Spring Break! I need this.
Gotta love Green Monsters!! I’m thinkin that will be dinner tonight.
Indeed – life´s good!
I love banana bread!! My hubby use to make it all the time and then we had way too much of it and got sick of it. I hate when that happens!! But now, it really sounds good!
seems like you enjoy a frequent smoothie… could you recommend a place to find recipes for healthy smoothies, or maybe a book?
thanks!
