Definitely prefer PB, but if you’re allergic to nuts, TJ’s Sunflower Seed Butter is a great alternative!

It’s so warm here that it feels like fall – it looks like it’s fall-ish in LA, too!

You inspired me to do snack plates! I am always the kind of snacker who doesn’t know exactly what I want, so getting a little of a couple different things really helps!

I am honestly a little obsessed with sunflower butter. For me, it’s the kind of all nut butters. TJ’s has the best!

Such a pretty yellow tree. Reminds me of school on the east coast :)

What did you think of the truffles?! They are Golden Cherry worthy when super fresh, but get 4.5 cherries after a night of refrigeration.. my 2 cents.

I thought it was pretty good! But yes slightly stale.

Hi, I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks. I eventually want to move to LA and act, and I love seeing all the delicious looking food you post. Those truffles look amazing!

I love sun butter! I prefer it to peanut butter, but prefer almond butter over both ;) . Those truffles look so yummy!

I love TJ’s sunflower butter! The photos are beautiful!

Lynn, I’ve had a problem lately when I try to comment. Sometimes the “post comment” button is not there so I can’t comment. Other people have always commented so I’m not sure why I don’t see it. Just thought I’d let you know. There’s a button on this one!
