Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

1. In a large bowl combine oats, trail mix, coconut, and cinnamon. Stir to mix. Meanwhile, heat a small sauce pan over medium low heat. Add in coconut oil and nut butters, and agave nectar and stir until melted.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread oat mixture evenly over sheet. Drizzle with melted coconut oil mixture and stir to coat oats.

When Life Gives You PB Love—Make Soba Noodles

2 cups of chopped kale

1 pint of mushrooms

4 (6 oz) pieces of salmon

Favorite seafood seasoning

½ cup of reserved cooking liquid from soba noodles

1. In a large skillet cook mushrooms and kale in extra virgin olive oil until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Season salmon evenly with seafood seasoning. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to skillet and add salmon skin side up. Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until salmon is cooked to medium.
4. Add soba noodles to boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes or until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of cooking liquid to add to PB Love Sauce.
