How’s (late Saturday night) or Sunday going for you my sweet bloggie friends?  I am really having a great weekend so far!  As I had mentioned I would be doing, I went to yoga on Saturday morning.  I loved being in the company of other yogis, which admittedly has been a little dry since moving to Phoenix 8 weeks ago.  But I enjoyed myself so much, I am going back Sunday morning!  Yay for yoga!  Then, as if yoga two days in a row in a studio wasn’t cool enough, I am meeting up with a fellow Phoenix blogger.  We somehow realized we both live in Phoenix and so we’ve got a coffee meetup planned.  Yay for new friends!  What’s on your agenda for Sunday?

I am really glad you were getting your “spaghetti” groove on with my Raw Vegan Pasta Noodles & Raw Marinara.  And for those of you who are interested in a spiralizer, that little bugger is the best 29.99 I’ve spent in a long time, for sure.  Christmas list anyone?

And thanks for clue-ing me in about what your go-to dinners and quick meals were.  I loved reading what everyone grabs and gravitates to in a pinch!

So as promised, let’s talk about the Highlights of my Week in Food.  If you missed last week’s recap, here is is.  

But for this week:
Monday I gave Thanksgiving dessert new meaning with my Vegan No-Bake Pumpkin Pie (Gluten & Soy Free)

Today I made some Butterfinger Oats for Scott.  1/3 c dry oats, cooked with 2/3 c water.  Swirled in cinnamon, brown sugar, and topped with a 1/2 banana, 1/4 c butterscotch chips, and 1 leftover Halloween Butterfinger bar that I crumbled on top.  Not really healthfood or anything but Scott loves this weekend treat!

And just because I didn’t get enough yoga in at the studio today (kidding).  Yoga Here Today is Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose)

What’s your Highlight of the Week?  Not necessarily food, but just something that you really savor and enjoy?  For me, it’s the 4 hours either Saturday or Sunday morning/midday that Scott takes Skylar and I am not mom, I am just Averie.  I get to do whatever I want with my free time!  Undoubtedly I try to get ahead on veggie chopping and carrot peeling and spend time in the kitchen doing boring things but I try to get out and do yoga, meetup with someone, browse through non-kiddie stores like Bebe or Victoria’s Secret, drink a Starbucks alone without singing the ABCs, you know, just enjoy my few hours alone!  What’s your Highlight of the Week?

  1. I saw the live feed on the right hand side of the screen… I look like a stalker! I'm really enjoying your site. :) Just made the chocolate chip cookie balls. YUM. Eyeballing the sugar snap pea recipe now.

  2. I'm always looking for new salad dressings! I need to go buy some tahini…I had a bad experience with it once and have been scared to use it again :( I will try it now!

    Yummmy snowballs. Those look ooey gooey and delicious.

    Have a good night!
