How are you doing today on this legal holiday (for all the U.S. readers)?  Columbus Day in case you were wondering.   All I know is that the post office and bank were going to be closed today so I had to scamper and get my biz-nass taken care of on Saturday afternoon.

Anyway onto a little weekend eats roundup….

First, some overnight Chia Seed-Coconut-Mango Soaked Oats
1/3 c dry oatmeal + 2/3 c lowfat vanilla almond milk + 1/4 c coconut flakes + 1 Tbsp Chias + vanilla stevia + dried mango slivers

The next morning?  Creamy, coconutty, mango-ey, chia-ey action

Also I’ve still been groovin’ on Raw Vegan Brekkie Cookies that I tweak up, inspired by Gina’s recipe.
I use: 1 smooshed banana, 1/3 c oats, 1 Scoop Sun Warrior Brown Rice Protein Powder (BRPP), Stevia, cinnamon, and a drizzle of agave for moisture.

And I refrigerate and 18 hours later top with fruit like mangos, plums, & grapes.  And I like it all realllllly cold so I freeze the whole thing for an hour before I eat it.

Dinners entailed B.S., brock, cukes & zukes, cauli, and tomatoes, on a bed of spinach dressed with the juice of 1/2 an orange, agave, and crackity blackity

As well as spinach, zuke noods, tomatoes, carrots dressed in peanut sauce.

And Plenty of Desserts went down my hatchet…

I made my Raw Vegan Apple Crumble again.

That juice is a mixture of vanilla extract, agave laced with cinnamon and brown sugar (which you can omit if you want to be truly raw)

Damn.  Very good I must admit.  Not my Gourmet Magazine worthy photo, the dessert itself.  
Don’t you love my humility?  Kidding!

And, The Raw Vegan 5-Minute Donut Holes were really hittin’ the spot.  So much so that I created a chocolate version!  You’ll have to check back for the recipe…

What did you do over the weekend?  Does anyone have off work today because it’s a holiday?  I went shopping for an hour alone Sunday afternoon.  It was divine.  I tried on some really expensive jeans and now I am kinda wishing I bought them.  I could always go back, but…Not sure if they are worth it?  Ladies, how do you balance being “responsible” with just wanting to buy the cute clothes and treating yourself?   Give me your shopping strategy!  To buy or not to buy….

Stay tuned for the Raw Vegan Chocolate Donut Holes…….

  1. Wow! I never saw this post! You look great! I'm sorry for the mean lady that said you had a beer belly! :( She's just jealous of your prettiness :)
    Skylar is so cute! And good job on natural birth! You look really pretty in that photo! :)

  2. Look at how cute you are prego! Isn't it funny how presumptuous people can be? I only gained 11 lbs. my first pregnancy and people gave me a hard time too. It was probably the crunches I did that set them off ; )

    All of these new food goodies are making my mouth water! I so want to try that coconut creamer come November! My sister got the coconut yogurt and said it was divine!

    Friday nights are pizza and movie night at our house. I don't get to eat the pizza but Rawvolution has a fabulous pizza recipe that is better than the real thing!
