How are you doing today? It’s Sunday, it’s time to recap some of the yummy treats that I made this past week. But before I do, thanks to the weekend bloggie readers for your comments about my Pesto Sauce & Peanut Sauce recipes yesterday. See, I do make things other than desserts…Like the Raw Vegan Pasta-n-Pesto…
Or the Peanut Sauce Recipe
…but you wouldn’t know it lately with all my desserts, would you. Anyone complaining? Get a load of the recap….
Sunday started things off with my remake of Girl Scout Thin Mints. I made Vegan Thin Mint Fudge.
Monday I showed you my Vanilla Chia Pudding. And yeah, it is space age looking. I got a couple comments to that effect. And yeah, it is dang good. It’s like the raw vegan version of Tapioca if you want my take on it.
On Monday I also made Raw Vegan Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Tuesday I posted Raw Vegan Apple Crumble
Wednesday I also showed you my TropicOats. Although a brekkie, good enough to call dessert.
Thursday I posted the Vegan Bananas Foster
Friday was the Grand Finale: Vegan (Almost Raw) Girl Scout Samoas Cookies
I had a last minute burst of energy and Raw Vegan Donut Holes were born
And then, I decided to make some Blondie Macaroons. And I have extras that I’m giving away. Have you entered my Blondie Give Away yet?
And if that wasn’t enough, in case you missed last week’s Desserts Recap, here was that post. Another half dozen desserts and recipes for your mouthgasmic pleasure to behold.

Random Question…Do you go to Halloween parties as an adult? I haven’t been to a Halloween party in a few years but actually, I’d like to go to one I think. It’s been too long! Do you get dressed up? Ladies, do you think that Halloween is an excuse to wear a costume that on the other 364 nights of the year you’d never be caught dead in it?
Catch you all on Monday with yummy eats….
How cool that you were able to meet up with Shannon! It's nice to be around people that you share similar interests with.
Those macaroons look very yummy! I make choco macaroons all the time, they are a staple around here : )
I have been working out 6 days a week for over 7 years. It used to be 7 days but my hubby suggested I shave one off for sanity purposes : ) I now do cardio 3 days a week, weights 3 days a week and yoga 2 times mixed in there, love it!
I frequent the Phoenix area a couple times a year, I will definitely give you a holler Miss Averie. The blogosphere has opened up a wide array of new friends and possibilities and I LOVE it. :)
Thanks for your pantry item list, very helpful. And, I like to vary my workouts and fitness regimen, but I do feel my happiest and healthiest when I am consistently doing yoga.
gah. love those macaroons!
I love making raw deserts! yours always look SO awesome!!!
I wish I was in Arizona to come chit chat!! That would be so awesome :) We can share all our makeup tips ;) tee hee
uuuh MAMA those macaroons look A-MAZING!
I LOVE YOUR smiley PIC!
I have almost everything on that list…I am gonna check out Dates from TJ's…didn't realize they carried them…
and my workout that's best for me is getting very CLEAR.
I am actually IN LOVE with my current routine. It's really working for me and doable with a job and a baby…WOOT!
I am so cracking up about your comments on lifting weights. my arms are getting toned and It has to be from A: lugging JJ around…and B; YOGA..it's all the strenght training I do..and if YOGA is what keeps YOUR body toned and muscular like it IS…than baby..I am HOOKED FOR LIFE!
Actually I love how Yoga tones my waist the most! I am getting back to my dailies (got lazy over the weekend) and this morning I got a goood LONG session in. I feel SO MUCH better than I did yesterday am!
I tried the Revolved Triangle and fell over…my husband (who was still in bed) started laughing…it was pretty funny..here I am in the dark bending in odd ways and PLOP..there I go.
OH WELL.
I love today's Post AVERIE and NICE FLOWERS….way to go HUBBY!
it's THURSDAY! SHEW
great tips on the pantry items. I am actually trying something new. I printed a blank calendar and I am going to see if I can plan dinners for the next few weeks. I feel like I am always buying new groceries when I probably have stuff buried in the back of the closet. Case in point, just bought 5lbs of almonds and guess who had some stashed away? Oh well, I can think of worse problems to have! :)
I am trying to get more into yoga. I have been researching some places around me to start some classes. I want to make sure someone is making sure I do things the right way before hitting the dvds at home. I hate the whole gym thing and I think yoga will be more aligned with ballet which I love. Movement, grace, etc.
Oooh…chocolatey balls of goodness….I'm jealous!! How fun that you had a blogger meet-up! You can bet your life that if I'm ever in AZ I'll be giving you a holler! Thanks for the list of ingredients you keep on hand – that was a great question from Abby.
That was so thoughtful of your hubby to give you those flowers – it's nice to know you're appreciated. :)
I'm with you – why lift weights when you can lift and support your own body weight??
holy fun gifts in the mail on your last post. i am uber-jealous of each and every one :)
your chocolate macaroons look heavenly!
i honestly think you are my new yoga inspiration. seeing you in these poses makes me want to get my practice there too – i got your email about certifications. thank you! i have a couple questions to shoot ya right back.
love you lady! xxxx
OMG those are the prettiest flowers you are one lucky chicky!!
the macaroons…um I need those NOW! thanks aves!
what a great go-to list to bake all things vegan! There are certainly items that I always have in my house and then those that I dont ALWAYS have i do get them quite often!
i do lOVE the rush I get from weight training. I love my cardio (running and spinning) as well but I am a weights gal!
enjoy your day babe!!
YAA for the shoutout.. you rock Averie. You are also a baking (raw dehydrating) machine.
Your hubby is so sweet and I dont even know him. Nothing brightens your day like fresh flowers… the colors are beautiful!
I totaly dont lift weights but do small exercises for my arms and legs daily. I attempted to lift a 6 year old child at school the other day when she hurt her leg and almost fell over.
Have a super day! :)
ps.. you need to update my blog URL on your blogroll girl (NOW) JUST KIDDING :)
Beautiful flowers! Looooove the macaroons! Mmmm! I started working out a lot when I graduated high school, I work out about 6 days a week since then! :) I do a circuit training video so that is just about the only weight lifting I do. I also do yoga 2-3 times a week for muscle building.
Anyway, sorry I haven't visted! For some reason an error box kept poping up whenever I would visit and then it would close the page. Happy it's working now!
Love the flower pics. I try to post mine when I receive them, too. They make me happy :-)
That's so cool that you got to meet up with another blogger, especially since her name is Shannon.
As for growing older and working out, I think I've learned a lot over the years. I know what works and what doesn't. Choosing a workout style has become a no-brainer, even when I mix it up a bit.
Oh myyy goodness! Your posts just drive me crazy with all the tasty pictures! Those chocolate macaroons need to get in my belly NOW!
Awww lifting weights is my absolute favorite part of my entire work out! Sure, I love the cardio, but I am just rarin' to go when it is weight training day! RAWR!
Awww, what a sweet hubbie! I'm sure it will be wonderful to have him back home. Make sure he spoils you to make up for his time away. ;)
What a great list of ingredients to have on hand. I completely agree! Although, I tend to substitute maple syrup for agave in just about everything, so I don't tend to keep maple syrup on me too often.
Thanks for the shoutout Averie! You most definitely deserve the award!
xxoo

I have always been an active person, mostly team sports as a child. As I went through high school, I was an intense swimmer. Swimming 2-3 hours almost everyday. I had bulky muscle for sure- though I was never one to lift weights.. After an injury, swimming tapered down and a few years later I started to do yoga. The difference in muscle tone is amazing!! I go through phases where I swim, and run, sometimes hike.. but yoga is my stand-by and I think it will always be that way. Sometimes it's amazing how you can do the same asanas each day- but they can be different at the same time.. that to me is interesting enough to keep me going! Have a great day- those Macaroons look so yum!
Those macaroons are love right thurrr ;)
i completely agree about the doing weights thing. yoga is all i need to build and maintain my muscle strength. and it feel so much more natural to do yoga than to go to a gym and lift some heavy iron. NO thanks!
love the little treats you made.
have a great day
