Just coming in to reload with a Coconut Cream Pie Smoothie (vegan, GF) and we’re headed out for a pre-dinner family walk.

Okay and I lied.

And a handful of Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Pretzels (no-bake, vegan), too.

Gotta replenish the sodium (and chocolate) stores.

  1. What a beautiful day you had! I stayed home sick from work today, which meant making granola and playing on the Internet! :) But don’t tell anyone!

  2. I worked for 12 hours : ( It is great to come home and see those stunning photos, but I’d be lieing if I said I wasn’t jealous!

  3. Oh wow, sounds like SUCH a difficult way to spend the day! Haha…so beautiful! I worked all day, so not much to relate with your day at the beach. Want to trade? :)

  4. oh what an awesome place to spend your summer! and with delicious eats! that blue water is Heavenly!

  5. A day with those chocolatey cinnamon pretzels would be perfection for me. So glad you enjoyed a day at the beach Averie! Today I worked… in my office… at a computer… staring out over the baltimore inner harbor on this perfectly sunny day. depressing! Not nearly as wonderful as your day, but I am ready about to munch on some edamame! It’s my favorite snack. :)

  6. I can see why Aruba is your happy place!! Looks peaceful, gorgeous and relaxing. All I’ve done is go to work, water my salad greens, and practice my guitar today. Our weather here has been very nice, so even though I’m not soaking up some island sun, I can’t complain!

    1. It’s my happy place, omg YES. It’s my spot, my corner of the world. Scott is going to have to carry me on the plane home. Seriously will be soooo hard to get on it. San Diego is great but this is better!

  7. I didn’t do anything as gorgeous as this!

    I did post your cookies on a different site – I do a post for them once a month, but didn’t realize you had to be a member to comment :( I will be post them on my site next week though too, so more people can see them :)

    1. Yeah that site was a little funny – I couldn’t really comment other than using my Fbook account but glad you liked the cookies!

  8. That smoothie looks heavenly, Averie! I worked a fun 11 hour day – but came home to fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, and dinner on the stove… I’ve got me a winner ;)

    Have some beach fun for me!

    1. I’ve been married 12 years I think? Time flies and I don’t even remember. lol But I can remember that that has NEVER happened for me…yes, you’ve got a winner :)

  9. Boy, you truly are in paradise! Looks lovely. :) I met my new class of freshman students today. All students begin classes tomorrow–it’s going to be craziness!!!

  10. Very nice and jealous here! Spent the day slaving at working and wishing for Friday. :-)

  11. That’s a nice place to spend an afternoon! And nice snacks to come home to. :) I’m on the way to the hippie mart.
