Not many words today.

I’m too busy chewing.

Sliced up oranges and cucumbers

And these, there are no words anyway.

Cinnamon Bun Pie

And these Coconut Peanut Butter Magic Cake Bars. The pan is almost gone and I am so sad. They’ve been amazing.

I’ve slurped, in addition to chewing, because I need something to wash it all down with, of course.

    1. Ok I have had my eye on those cookies of Lori’s for ages but have never made them b/c the variable “range” of egg whites she calls for…from 2 to 4…has me feeling like there’s lots of room for them to flop on me. But you made them vegan?! Would love to hear more about that!

  1. Sometimes waking up and reading your posts with beautiful pictures like these is such a great way to start the morning. Kind of like the day here – bright, vibrant, beautiful.

  2. Just today my husband and I took a trip to SFMoMA and we split the most amazing sweet potato gnocchi served over spinach salad, yum!
    p.s. I love reading your blog (:

  3. Yum, is that cucumber and oranges? It looks so refreshing!! Congrats on making the top 9 in Daily Buzz. Have a great rest of the weekend!!

    1. Yes and it’s part of a recipe I am posting later in the week..more details about it to come :)

  4. I’m acting on a short horror film all weekend, but they ordered us a great lunch from Porto’s, an AMAZING cafe/bakery here in Burbank!

  5. The best part of my weekend was getting through my recital without messing up. My guitar instructor played with me and it was short and sweet, but I haven’t sat on a stage since high school band (a very looong time ago). The salad looks great and I’m curious about the gooey-cinnamon-y un-named goodies on the white plate–they look…..positively sinful!

    1. That is Monday’s recipe at 12:01am Monday. Stay tuned :)

      And congrats on your recital!

  6. The best thing I chewed was definitely my twist on the Spring Jasmine Rice Salad from How Sweet it Is, made with millet instead of brown jasmine rice. So yummy. Can’t wait to post it tomorrow.

  7. I’ll have to try that fruit smoothie tomorrow morning… I never thought of putting coconut milk in my smoothie but that’s really good idea! I usually just use yogurt but I was looking for something different.

    1. it’s part of a recipe I am posting later in the week..more details about it to come :)

  8. Manischewitz makes kosher macaroons for Passover that don’t have any weird oils or crappy corn syrup in them. Really tasty and chewy, and they freeze well; I’ve got quite a few stashed away in the freezer for when the supply dries up.

    Really like that last photo of the strawberry smoothie against the white wood. Good use of background props!

    1. Thanks for the picture compliments and good tip about the Manischewitz. I will check those out!

  9. I wanna know what the unnamed “no words” photograph is for! :-) It looks divine, whatever it is!! YUM! I hope you are having a great weekend, Averie!

  10. I’m still drooling over your Magic Cake Bars. I would be sad if they were gone as well.
    The best thing I’ve chewed this weekend is the portabella burger I just downed. Oh man SO good!

  11. I’ve been chewing on Lindt Sea Salt chocolate. How did I not know about this before now?? It’s really quite incredible..

    1. It’s part of a recipe I am posting later in the week..more details about it to come but the recipe will be up your alley. Not sure about Dustin…he’s a hard one to read! :)

  12. Great pics, making me hungry! :-) Best thing is an 8-mile run that I got in outdoors before the rain really kicked it. Chewed on so far is lots of vegan pizza. :-)
