Chia Oats, BrekCookie, Green Plates, & Desserts

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.
Mixed up

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.
Remember this Peanut Sauce?  Yeah, the recipe is right here.
Close up of the P-Sauce...slurpity slurp.

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...

VeganMofo in the house today.
  


Yoga today is Parsva Bakasana (Side Crane) on the left.  Work your right and left sides equally so you don't just keep getting stronger on your dominate side and weaker on the other.

Tip of the Day:  My Blondie Macaroon Give Away is going to end later Monday....so get your booo-tay entered NOW if you want a chance for some of these bad boys to arrive on your doorstep!

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.......
