Is it normal?

I wrote a post about seeing grays a couple of weeks ago, mixed feelings about seeing the first couple. I’ve seen 2 so far and got rid of them quickly :) And definitely brownies without nuts. I love adding lots of chocolate chips to brownies though.

I love cottage cheese with strawberry jam! It’s so good!

I started getting 2-3 grey hairs about 2 years ago when I was 26. I pluck them too because I don’t want to dye my hair!

Chocolate chip cookies!! We’re just finishing a batch over here. :D

I love to combine cream cheese and butter on my bagel

Gray hairs Started in my late 30s. Just a few at the moment. I used to pluck. Now I just leave them. The only time you see them is when my hair is pulled back in a pony.
definitel cookie!

I hate grey hairs since it just a reminder I am getting old. I started maybe about three years ago but they have really grown in quantities this past year. I pluck mine too but this past weekend my brother told me I had a whOle bunch of them in the back of my head. Oh well. I also don’t want to color my hair (yet) because I am actually growing my hair to donate. I am so close!

I love your phone case! One of my favorite combinations is candy corn and peanuts!

Cereal and banana.
Oatmeal and peanut butter.
Grilled cheese, tomato, avocado.
Egg sandwiches and bw3 wing sauce.

I have a theory that the darker your hair is, the faster you go grey. Many of my dark-haired friends started going grey in their late 20’s! I’m almost 41 and am fortune to only have one random silver hair that I pluck when I remember, and am dreading the day that I get more. I’ve never dyed my hair and really don’t want to start, since it seems like a lot of upkeep!

My favorite food combo is hands-down peanut butter and apple – I need to have those two things together at least once a day!

– Almond butter and sweet potatoes are the perfect combo! I learned that one from you too! :)
– Me and cottage cheese have a love/hate relationship. I guess it depends on the day, haha! When I’m in the mood for it, I love using it as a spread for a bagel.
– Ah, isn’t it great to be 17 and not have to worry about gray hairs quite yet? :)
-Brownies win. I’ve honestly never had a brownie with nuts in it though! I think I would like it though. Walnuts have grown on me!

The picture of your brother in law w/ his boy is precious. I love carrots + peanut butter. I don’t have gray hair (maybe cuz my hair is blonde). My mom was fully gray in her early 20’s though! I love both cookies & brownies so I make this dessert that combines the two — basically you make brownies and then you drop cookie dough in the brownie batter and bake. I’m telling you–it’s the best!

I really hope I am like my mother and do not get a gray hair until I’m in my 40s… except I already had eight knee surgeries so it isn’t looking good ;)

Nuts belong in most desserts but not brownies. GIVE ME THE CHOCOLATE + MORE CHOCOLATE.

I loooove stuffing apricots with cottage cheese + cinnamon + drizzle of almond butter. Life changing.

I’m so jealous of Brooke’s perfect top knot. :)

Oh my, the pic of your BIL and nephew are too sweet!

I really love peanut butter and bell pepper.

Cottage cheese and pineapple is pretty delish.

I started getting gray hair when I went back to get my credential and started teacher (coincidence?) when I was 28.

the best thing ever: pepperoni and cheeze-its. not healthy at all but oh so delicious :)

Chocolate chip cookies over brownies (never nuts!) but, if the brownie is iced with chocolate fudge frosting, then I choose the brownie over the cookie! Favorite combo – hmm, probably chocolate and peanut butter.

I GOT gray after my divorce too!!

*I can’t think of anything I combine…I’m pretty dull. Cottage cheese would not be on the menu, ever.
*Yes grey hairs, I pluck. Started to get them around 26 or so…
(ps that baseball t is adorable!)
*Brownies, no nuts.

I love combining peanut butter and bananas. Yum. I hate cottage cheese…it’s mostly a texture thing for me. No grey hairs yet (I shouldn’t say that, now I’ll probably find one tomorrow morning). I prefer brownies as long as they are fudge brownies, not the cakey kind. And they are definitely better with nuts in them. :)

apple butter and cottage cheese! yum!! sometimes I have them on whole wheat toast..yummy!! I started getting grey hair when I was 30 but I noticed they started coming in hardcore around 40!! refuse to dye them! no brownies just almonds!!

Almond butter and Medjool dates!

I am 30 and noticed that I have a white hair. I think I first noticed it a year or two ago. Anyways, it usually hides, but sometimes I can find it when I part my hair a certain way.

I love brownies AND cookies so I can’t choose. I do know that I dont like nuts in my desserts. They are fine separately but I don’t like them mixed in. Ruins my carrot cake experience every time!

My two favorite foods to combine are nothing exotic, but pretty darn good. I love avocados and bacon. Anything that has those two ingredients in it will be gone before you blink.

I can’t say I’m fond of cottage cheese. There is something about it that just turns me off.

I don’t have gray hairs, and probably never will. My mom is 65 and doesn’t have a gray hair on her head. Hopefully I’ll take after her. Even if I won’t, I color my hair so you’ll never see a gray hair.

Cute dog! Name?! You should get one again!

Favorite food combo in the world … Peanut butter on pretzels with a few chocolate chips sprinkled on top (I know … 3 ingredients … But worth it). Stick them in the freezer for a while and they’re even better!

Brooke should be a little model.. she is too cute for words!!!

Two foods: Peanut butter and banana!!

I’ve actually never eaten cottage cheese. We were having this conversation at my parents’ house last weekend and my mom and fiancé were both totally shocked by this news. Maybe I’ll have to try your combo!!

No gray hairs just yet!

First, I hate cottage cheese. It has a really weird feel to it in my mouth, and I hate foods with funny textures. However, a coworker of mine introduced me to something you can do with grapes! Wash grapes, but don’t dry them. Instead, roll them in Jello powder (you know…the stuff in the box you make Jello with). I tried it with lime Jello, and the grapes were AMAZING!

As for gray hairs, I have a few that have sprouted up since last year (I’m 26), but nothing major. However, my mom went completely gray by the time she was 27!

That baseball shirt is so cute! You can’t go wrong with anything about cake.

Brownie without nuts.

Fun post today! I wonder if Brooke’s shirt comes in my size… ;)

Okay, let’s see…

Cottage cheese? Nope! Not for me.

No gray hairs yet, luckily.

And, brownie all the way! No nuts please!

I love cheese and crackers. Or really any carb/cheese combo. Obviously, I’m super healthy.
Love cottage cheese! I usually eat it with peaches though…
No gray hairs yet! But I have so much hair that I don’t think I’d know if I did have any.
Cookie!

I found my first gray hairs at 27. I am now coloring my hair. Yup. I’m there now.

Brooke is just too cute!!!!

I got my first gray at 20 – I guess my grandma started graying early, so she passed that wonderful gene down to me :-( I’m 26 and it’s only getting worse!

Eggs & Sauerkraut is my new favorite combo!

Brownies without nuts – I have an allergy, so triple fudge Ghiradelli brownies are the money maker ;-)

Have a great day! I love your posts.

I got my first gray hair at 24… but I was on a mission in a foreign country, trying to learn a new language, using a bucket to shower and do laundry, etc… AKA the most stressful time of my life so YES I think there is a huge correlation to stress and when those gray suckers show up! Not fun, but you are in good company!

Peanut butter and pretty much almost anything. I loooove peanut butter and almond butter!!

I can’t STAND cottage cheese. The texture, ugh vom. I know it’s healthy and people LOVE it, but I don’t even like seeing it.

Ugh I started getting grey hairs, I’m not sure, but early 20’s for sure. I actually had a dream a couple days ago that I had a lot of grey hairs and my sister (in the dream) was like GROSS WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?! It was traumatizing.

Brownie, or undercooked cookie. and No walnuts or nuts, maybe white chocolate chips or caramel chips…

Sweet potato and peanut butter, definitely!! That combo even beats PB + chocolate for me, which is saying a LOT. I’ve never tried cottage cheese and grapes but I do love it with other fruit so I will for sure be getting on that. I hope you had a great run! I’m off for a 9 mile tempo run, and feeling super nervous.

Brooke is just the cutest little thing!! She is so tall and has so much hair for being so little. I love how you put it into that cute messy bun and she looks adorbs in her new baseball t-shirt!

Chocolate and mint…’cause mint is a food, no? lol

I loooooooooooooooove cottage cheese. So much so that I have to limit how much I buy because no matter the size of the container, I will eat it all in one sitting. I could probably eat it with anything…well, maybe not chocolate and mint. lol

Totally have grey hairs. Have had them for a while (am 36)…but only in the last couple of years did they start to bother me so much that I started having to have my hair coloured…a pain, but better than all that grey! :)

Probably a brownie…but it must be dense (I’m not a fan of cake)…and must NOT contain nuts. They get in the way of the chocolate. lol

That picture of your brother-in-law and nephew is seriously adorable!!!

That picture of Brooke in her new t-shirt could be a modeling shot. It’s perfect.

The strangest combination, but one that I love is a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. I have converted several people who thought it sounded like the grossest combination into believers.

I love cottage cheese, but I like it with tons of pepper.

I’ve been told that you absolutely DO NOT pluck gray hairs. I’m really old and I don’t have too many (my younger sister started getting them way before I did). I also heard that people with naturally curly hair tend to get them before straight-haired folks. Rather than the real dye — I just use one of those temporary dyes (washes out in 28 shampoos — which for me is practically months) :) They’re really easy and gentle on your hair. You can just pick one the same color as your hair now.

I think I’d have to pick a really good cookie over a brownie. A big soft buttery one. Either peanut butter, or chocolate chip (or a pnut butter, chocolate chip!) or snickerdoodle. Dang. Now I really want a cookie.

mashed potatoes and Iceberg lettuce!

I don’t eat cottage cheese because I don’t like the texture. I know it’s really good for you so one day maybe I will get over it and eat a bowl!

I just got my first gray hair 1 week ago and I am 28!

Chocolate Chip cookie!

I love cheese + ketchup. Grilled cheese dipped in ketchup, mac and cheese dipped in ketchup… so good!

Peanut butter and chocolate. Duh. Hello muddy buddies.

I am one of the people who can thank you for the cottage cheese and grapes combo. It truly is amazing. Before that, I always put pears or peaches in with CC. Ross dips his chips in it and that grosses me out.

I started seeing grey hair in 8th grade. Fo reals.

Cookie.

Last night was great. As always. I hope your run went or is going well!!

I had gray hair starting at 19, i’m now 32 almost fully gray and have to dye my hair every 4 weeks to keep it away. I have dark hair like you, so of course the roots show like crazy. I did see the new trend for this year is gray hair but i just can’t get on that train. : )

I add kalamata olives to my cottage cheese if i’m craving something at night.

Aww, Brooke’s shirt is SO cute!! I want one in my size!

This is weird but I swear it’s amazing…PB on a Hamburger

I don’t eat cottage cheese that often but when I do, I’m a purist about it.

Brownie – either – I love chocolate!

I love combining eggs with mashed avocado on toast. I’ve been eating that several times a week for years now – so good!
cookie vs. brownie just depends on what I’m in the mood for – both are good. But ideally for brownies they’re slightly undercooked and with nuts are better ;)

cottage cheese+chopped apples+cinnamon=amazing!

ezekial sesame bread toasted+Sunbutter+unsweetened coconut+chia seeds=my daily breakfast….yum!

I’m a gray hair plucker too!

If I plucked my grays I’d be bald, true story. I started going gray in my early 20’s. So did my mom.

I like strawberries on my almond butter toast. It’s better than jam.

Hmm, really have to choose between a brownie and a cookie? I like brownies when they’re fudgy not cakelike so in that case I’d go for the cookie. If the cookie is a packaged one I pass on that and go for the brownie.

Ok, this is weird, but I love to heat up a yam and mix it with plain greek yogurt, chocolate chips, and maple syrup. It’s a nutrition packed, mushy bowl of yum. I LOVE cottage cheese and don’t add anything to it, but will sometimes use it on bagels instead of cream cheese. My husband puts pepper on it, which makes me gag. I don’t have any grey hairs, but I’m also a natural blonde, so I probably won’t… ever? And, I’ll take either brownie or cookie… no nuts but with ice cream, please. Happy taper, Janae!

I’m about to turn 29 and have found a few sporadic grays in my hair too! My mom didn’t find any gray hair until she turned 40, so I thought I would be in the clear for awhile! But nope! I definitely pluck mine when I see them too!

Cottage cheese and peanut butter. People think I’m weird, but it’s relish. :)

Oh, and two foods I like combining are …. hummus on an omelet. It’s yum.

I’m blond but I have one black hair cause i’m 1/4 Japanese. :D

His smile makes me feel like I want it to never end. I love him so much.

I used to eat cottage cheese with tomatoes, salt and pepper. Kinda like CC + grapes..you just have to try it to believe its good! I used to go to a restaurant that made a warm pasta salad with grilled veggies and cottage cheese and it was oddly delicious.

I can combine peanut butter with almost anything…jelly (of course), pumpkin butter, honey, ice cream, pudding, chocolate chips, fruit, yogurt.
I also mix hummus with Dijon mustard and use it as a salad dressing or a spread for sandwiches.

I think choosing between brownies and cookies would be like choosing which child I love more! Impossible! But definitely no nuts in either.

And I used to get ONE gray hair when I was in grad school that I would pluck out…(stress?)

Two foods that you absolutely love to combine? Pretzels and anything sweet

Cottage cheese lover? What do you add to your cottage cheese? Yes, strawberries. Pineapple.

Gray hairs? When did you start to get them? 19!!!! Started out with just a few, after having my youngest (who has health issues) I have a TON.

Brownie or cookie? If you chose brownie——> with nuts or without nuts? Cookie.

I am holding up the caboose on the comments – it’s spring break and things have been crazy busy!!

A few gray hairs started coming at 25, it’s genetic – my Dad is the same!

Food combos – hummus with any veggie. Cottage Cheese and strawberries!

Brownie or cookie? I love both!!! I would say brownie without nuts :)

For some reason I love popcorn and lemon aid! I guess that’s not two foods, buts it’s an odd combo :)
Brownies and cookies are both always welcome in gluten free format to my plate, I can’t choose!

Aww Brooke looks so cute in that shirt!

23 + grey hair = me. I did turned to the occasional highlights to mask them a bit at one point and stopped coloring it all to avoid the dreaded “skunk stripe” that will come with the grey roots once I really started going grey. Now at 32 my grey temples are my trademark ;-)
