get to know ME more!
Hi Thank you so much for visiting the blog! Whether you're looking for more pretty pictures, inspiration for your wedding day, or some useful Deep Creek info, I hope you'll find a comfy seat, maybe a cup of coffee, and read on!
I usually find all my “new” recipes on Pinterest. My FOOD board is FILLED with so many delicious-looking, easy-t0-make temptations. It’s hard not to want to try all of them! But sometimes my Pinterest attempts fail, so I recently found inspiration elsewhere!
Enter Trader’s Coffee House at Deep Creek Lake! When we moved to Garrett County, MD in the fall, I had my eye on this place. I knew I was going to need to find a friendly place that offered a quiet, casual workspace and free wifi so I didn’t have to work at home all the time. I also wanted an excuse to get out and have coffee with some tasty treats, too. 😉
One of Trader’s tasty treats is the protein wrap. Peanut butter, banana, granola and honey on a wrap and grilled…DELICIOUS! It seemed easy enough to try to recreate at home, so I gave it a whirl and have been eating them ever since. I enjoy them at both breakfast and lunch since the ingredients include sweets, some crunch, fruit and carbs! So here ya go…a Trader’s-inspired Peanut Butter-Banana Quesadilla!
Ingredients
1 wrap (I use tortillas, but wheat wraps would be fine)
1 banana (not too mushy, definitely not super hard either)
2-3 Tbsp peanut butter
Handful of granola
Drizzle of honey
Instructions
Warm at least a medium-sized skillet to low-medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Spread peanut butter across flat tortilla. Place banana slices on half of the tortilla circle. Sprinkle granola on top of banana slices and then drizzle with honey. Fold in half and place on skillet. Cook a few minutes on each side until peanut butter is melted and tortilla begins to brown. Cut in half for easy eating and ENJOY!
For some recipe variations, try adding raisins to your mix or maybe spread some Nutella along with the peanut butter. Nutella would also make a great dipping “sauce”, but I suggest leaving out the extra sweets to keep this a relatively low-calorie, “healthy” eat. I hope you’ll give the recipe a try! It’s super easy, spur tasty and very satisfying. 🙂
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
