Healthy&Delicious: Apple and Peanut Butter Open face Sandwich

Earlier I posted a picture of this, so here's the recipe!! 

 Ingredients: 

•1 Granny Smith Apple (or whatever type you prefer) 

•1/4 Cup Peanut Butter (doesn't need to be specific, personal preference) 

•Granola to taste (optional) 

•Dried Fruit to taste (optional) 

•Honey to taste (optional) 

 Directions: 

1. Wash the Apple and slice it into flat, circular pieces. The thickness of the slices are a personal preference and will determine the number you make. 

2. Take your peanut butter (or nut butter of choice) and smooth and even amount onto each apple slice (I used about 1/2 a table spoon to a teaspoon per slice, depending on the size). 

3. Add your toppings of choice (granola, honey, dried fruit). This part is where you can personalize the recipe to fit what you like! I personally put granola in the center of each slice and a ring of dried fruit around the edges. 

4. Enjoy!! This healthy recipe can be eaten as a breakfast or quick snack. 

Notes: I like to use the JIF Natural Creamy Peanut Butter for this recipe, but you can use any kind of (pea)nut butter you like! Also, for granola I used the Back to Nature Almond Chia granola (again, any kind works). The dried fruit I used was a mix of cherries and berries. I hope you enjoyed this recipe!!

10 (Music) Artists You Should Check Out If You Haven't Already

If you listen to music, you've probably heard at least one song by all of theses people/groups. I definitely recommend going to check out their other music, the most popular songs aren't always the best! 1. Bastille - an alternative band with an amazingly unique sound. The singer in this band has an incredible voice and every song sounds different! 2.Ed Sheeran - You've most likely heard at least a few of his songs on the radio. He has a range of sounds from almost rap like to more acoustic songs. 3.Twenty One Pilots - quickly rising in popularity, this band has a very unique and hard to describe sound. If you don't like one song, try another because they have a few very different types. 4.The Script - most of their songs sound pretty similar, but are still amazing with great words. 5. Maroon 5 - pop band with a ton of amazing songs! Definitely check out the ones you haven't heard before, they are just as good or better than the ones on the radio. 6. Lorde - mostly known for very unique voice, her lyrics are easy to relate to and creative. Not everyone will like her sound, but personally I think it's great. 7. Fall Out Boy - great alternative rock band. Their sound changes a bit from album to album, so listen to them all to see what you like! 8. Imagine Dragons - another popular band with many little known/underrated songs. 9. Ellie Goulding - a pop singer with a beautifully high voice. 10. Tove Lo - I would say she's an alternative pop singer.
