Just a quickie to say thanks to all of you who chimed in on how you’d handle negative, or let’s just say less than chipper-n-positive, comments on your bloggie which was my parting thought at the end of this post.

So I’ve been runnin’ around like a madwoman today, but I was really happy when I realized the Ani Cookbook I ordered 10 days ago finally showed up.  I am still waiting on Sarma’s latest bookWhat is up with some of these Amazon shipping fulfillment bookstores takin’ nearly 2 weeks to send a book from CA to AZ?  Don’t they know I need my book?  Now.

Ani's Raw Food Kitchen cookbook

For those of you who have this book, do you have a fave recipe, or fourteen, that you love?  I am gonna rock out some desserts first.  Probably tomorrow.  I know you will love me for that cuz I will post up the yumm pics.

I think it rocks that Ani has not only her nose pierced, but also a Monroe.  I think I love her even more.  In case you haven’t noticed, I do kinda love the life on the edgier side.  Friends with piercings would get to eat dessert first in my casa.  Kidding! 

But, I used to have my nose pierced in high school and college.  And about 10 other things have been pierced, too.  I still have a few choice holes, but once upon a time I used to be holier than a piece of Swiss Cheese.  Any guesses?  But tell me your piercing or tattoo stories too, por favor!

Oh and for the chicas like Deb, Ellie, Shannon Marie and everyone else who guessed on the secret ingredients in the blondie macks…

I haven’t forgotten about ya, but I decided to keep it a trade secret.  I may just take Janetha up on her suggestion, and everyone else who keeps urging me to do this, but I may write a cookbook.  Miss Janetha, to answer your question, I do literally just create all my recipes outta my head. And since you all seem so happy with my recipes, I may just surprise you, and myself, and write a book.

 

I also recently ordered some PB2.  I figured I’d just order in bulk in case I liked it and that way I wouldn’t have to pay for shipping again.  I got 3 original PB2’s and 1 chocolate.

I find it interesting that the Chocolate (shown on the right) is ever so slightly less caloric than the regular.  How could that be?  Who cares when the math works that way!  That never happens.

I also got a Synergy Coupon.  I confess, I’ve never had this stuff.  I know there are peeps who are die hards for these drinkeys so if you’re one of ’em and you have a fave flave you wanna clue me into, holla so I can put my coupon to the best use!

And I have been in serious love with pineapple lately.  Cut up a’nuther pina today.  So sweet.  Very not local, not seasonal, and could not find an organic one.  Oh well.  I’ve been groovin’ on ’em anyway.

Do you have any foods you love, and you don’t care if it’s not local, seasonal, organic, or even healthy?  You’re goin’ for it no matter whaaaat.  Clue me in on what they are.  I love hearin’ other people’s fave go-to eats.

See ya in the a.m. with yoga, love, and maybe a surprise….

  1. Those roasted veggies look super yummy! Sweet potatoes are looking better and better each day : )

    I have made the Raw cheesecake with macadamias and cashews and it is far smoother with cashews. Yum!

  2. So when you gonna post the rest of the ingredients and measurements for that cheesecake, hmmmm? My computer screen has lick marks all over it!

  3. yeah, that cheesecake is da bomb! you are on quite the roll :) and thanks for the reminder that i had some powdered acai in my cupboard!

  4. Coconut oil for roasting veg? GENUIS! My tub of coconut oil is at my mom's and I am staying there Saturday night…my first "Averie recipe"! Wooo!

    It's never gotten warm here… I LOVE summer and usually spend it in NY where temps average around 80-90 degrees which I LOVE. I don't think it's gotten about 60 in Scotland :( I have worn my winter coat all year!

  5. mmm that cheese cake looks delish! Very pretty <3 I can't believe it is 90 degrees there!

    It's 2 degreesC where I live LOL. brr.

  6. I am in LOVE with coconut oil. Isn't the fragrance just delish. I have to make that cheesecake NOW! No kidding!!!! :)

  7. That cheesecake looks so good! And I'll definitely have to try those fries some time soon.

    Here in Oz, it's starting to warm up a bit (after an Antarctic Winter.) It's nice not to have my hands frozen in place every time I go for a run. I remember one time, I was late for school, as my hands were so numb that I couldn't do my hair!

    I've just posted a rather confused entry about blogging in general, and would really appreciate it if you (or any other bloggers) could give it a visit!

  8. I can't wait to make raw vegan cheesecake! You really are a genius!

    Mmmmm baked veggies, delicious!

    Well, it is still in the 100s here in Saudi Arabia, so I'm still dreaming of cooler weather. Although, the humidity has finally let up which is nice. And once the breezy, cool weather DOES get here my favorite thing to do is spend as much time outside running around with my horse and dogs.

  9. I'm pretty sure I'm jealous of your weather right now. You say "oh it's already down to 90" and I say "it's been 50-60 for the past week!!!" Oh how I wish I was still in AZ.

    I love Acai! So delish!
